"The memory of you emerges from the night around me""Oh the mad coupling of hope and force in which we merged and despaired""Take bread away from me if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter""I will bring you flowers from the mountains, bluebells, dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses""By night, Love, tie your heart to mine, and the two together in their sleep will defeat the darkness""And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us""I love you as one loves certain obscure things, secretly, between the shadow and the soul""You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations""Perhaps you will remember me like I remember you""Give me silence, water, hope""I am not jealous of what came before me""I do not love you except because I love you""The birds of night peck at the first stars that flash like my soul when I love you""In what language does rain fall over tormented cities""I want to see thirst inside the syllables""In your light I learn how to love""Tonight I can write the saddest lines""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.""We the mortals touch the metals, the wind, the ocean shores, the stones, knowing they will go on, inert or burning, and I was discovering, naming all the things: it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.""I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body."
