Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda (12 Juli 1904 - 23 September 1973) adalah nama samaran dan kemudian menjadi nama resmi dari seorang politisi dan penyair Chili, NeftalĂ­ Ricardo Reyes Basoalto.

salah satu kutipan yang menarik, khususnya untuk jiwa-jiwa muda yang labil sepertiku :D

“I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:

where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ”

bagus kan? :)
