Pablo NerudaI crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
About This Quote
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps. This poem is about a woman who has fallen in love with a man who cant keep his hands off her and how much she loves him. She is so starved for him that she prowls the streets at night because she cannot wait for him to feed her. This is a poem about how much the narrator loves the man who loves her back and how she wants to be with him all day and all night and has no other life other than being with him. The moth and the flame must meet, Who shall it be? This is a poem that tells you that if you fall into love with someone then you will always be together no matter what happens.
The moth and the flame are two different things but they are both attracted to each other. It is very romantic because it tells you about how if one moth falls into the flames then he will never be free of it even though he wants to leave it. The blackbird is singing its song of spring, And I am thinking of you, This short poem tells us that there are two kinds of people in this world. There are those who think of the blackbird's song as only a song but there are those who think of it as a song of their own love life.
The blackbird sings about spring because spring is when all flowers bloom again after winter is over. This means that all love songs are just songs until someone falls in love with them and makes them more than just songs.
