Pablo Neruda design help!

Feb 26, 2009 10:26

I want to get the following bolded part of Pablo Neruda's poem tattooed somewhere on my back or ribs (painful, I know). As it's alot of text, I'm not sure how to design it so that it doesn't look like a big block of letters that just looks like a rectangle from a distance. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm Asking for Silence

Now leave me alone.
Now learn to do without me.

I'm going to close my eyes.

And I want five things only,
five favorite roots.

One is endless love.

The second is to see autumn.
I cannot be if the leaves
don't fly and fall to earth.

The third is solemn winter,
the rain I loved, the caress
of fire on the wild coldness.

In fourth place, summer
round as a watermelon.

The fifth thing is your eyes.
I don't want to sleep without your eyes,
I don't want to be if you're not looking at me:
I'd give up spring
for you to keep on looking at me.

Thanks for your help!

poem, pablo neruda, help!
