"How you must have suffered, growing accustomed to me. My savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running.. For me who goes in singing with a sword among defenseless men.. Prisoner of growing shadows and trembling wings. I feel that I am he, and my arm of stone defends me." Pablo Neruda

@DanielChristensen beautiful... I love Neruda

@sunnydreams I read his collected works, 960 some odd pages and assembled that quote from 3 different poems. Those bits spoke most deeply to me. Neruda was a poet of prodigious talent. I wasn't big on his patriotic poems, but the rest was a singular experience in my life
