"Poetry" -- By Pablo Neruda, 1964

[deltatangofoxtot]

Thank you for this...very simple, complex, and elegantly presented.

"Love is so short, forgetting is so long"

or, depending on your translation:

"Love is so short, oblivion so long"

Pablo Neruda

@deltatangofoxtot Personally--I enjoy the syntax and play on words from this translation:

"Love is so short, forgetting so long"

Pablo Neruda

Neruda made a poetry fan out of me long ago. Glad to see other people enjoy it too.

well, to be honest I refuse translating literature, it's just painful. But, for the time being and till everyone reads Spanish, it's all right I guess :)

I have never read Neruda's poetry this way. I must have read it a thousand times before, but this time it brought tears to my eyes. Nicely done.

As I was there my eyes where here

my mind was traveling in my deep past

looking for an image recorded by my dreams

kept alive by my thoutghs

observing, whatching for the fear that I felt

is not more the litgh came to my heart
