C h i l e Pablo Neruda poet and statesman 1904 - 1973 Nobel Prize for Literature, 1971
Sonnet XCIIfrom 100 Love Sonnets to Matilde Urrutia
If some time your breast pauses, if something stops moving stops burning through your veins,
If the voice in your mouth escapes without becoming word, If your hands forget to fly, and fall asleep,
Matilde, my love, leave your lips half-open: Because that final kiss should linger with me,
It should stay still, forever, in your mouth, So that it goes with me, too, into my death,
If will die kissing your crazy cold mouth, Caressing the lost fruit buds of your body,
Matilde, my love, leave your lips half-open: Because that final kiss should linger with me,
It should stay still, forever, in your mouth, So that it goes with me, too, into my death,
And so when the earth receives our embrace We will go blended in a single death, forever living the eternity of a kiss.
Matilde, my love…… Matilde, my love…… Matilde………
