So my best friend got married at the beginning of November, in Puerto Rico. I was best man, and the maid of honor and I were both given Neruda poems to read during the ceremony. This was not either of the poems, but I'm still going to get a little misty whenever I see his name from now on. :)

I read Neruda at my sister's wedding, also not this one. He makes me misty anyway, though.

oh, yes. I love this one. I used the first verse at the end of a solo performance i did once, called "ardor." Love love love The Neruda.

I defy anyone to bring me unlovable Neruda, really. I want to find recordings of the originals, but I'm not even looking atm due to no money.

Great icon!!! Ha!

Mmmn. I wonder if any of them have been set to soulful spicy tunes by any fabulous musicians...

Me, too. No money. But I own The Complete Pablo English/Spanish at home, and it's a doorstopper so I'll have to be content.

Ooooh, shiny. Do you have the ISBN? I'd love to get that parked on a wishlist somewhere, it's always a risk buying in translation without a recommend.
