• Love is a war of lightning, and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness. Kiss by kiss I cover your tiny infinity, your margins, your rivers, your diminutive villages, and a genital fire, transformed by delight, slips through the narrow channels of blood to precipitate a nocturnal carnation, to be, and be nothing but light in the dark.

    Pablo Neruda: Love is a war of lightning, 
 and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness. 
 Kiss by kiss I cover your tiny infinity, 
 your margins, your rivers, your diminutive villages, 
 and a genital fire, transformed by delight, 
 slips through the narrow channels of blood 
 to precipitate a nocturnal carnation, 
 to be, and be nothing but light in the dark.
    Pablo Neruda, “‘carnal Apple, Woman Filled, Burning Moon,’”
