From "Twenty Love Poems and A Song Of Despair"- Pablo Neruda
This collection of poems, first published by Neruda at the age of 19 in 1924, caused something of a scandal because of its frank and intense sexuality: "I have gone marking the atlas of your body / with crosses of fire. / My mouth went across: a spider, trying to hide. / In you, behind you, timid, driven by thirst." It later became one of Neruda's best-loved works, selling two million copies by the 1960s.
Music- "Sebika" by Jan Garbarek, Brahem, Hussain, album Madar.
