but you don't know love like how Pablo Neruda knows love.
I was put onto poet Pablo Neruda today by my friend, sweet Julia. Overall, poetry can be kinda tricky, but
Pablo Neruda is not like that.
He's
sexual, romantic, and emotionally charged. Your not human if you
haven't been through emotions like that! One of his best works, "Veinte
poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada" (Twenty Poems and songs of
Despair) shows not his love for all women, but his love for one woman.
He digs into the mysteriousness of the crush, then the chase, then the
allure, then the bliss, then the longing and in the finale- the
sadness- of what loving someone can bring.
Gotta love those South American men.
