Pablo NerudaI don't want to go on being a root in the dark, vacillating, stretched out, shivering with sleep, downward, in the soaked guts of the earth, absorbing and thinking, eating each day.
About This Quote
I am tired of living in the dark,of being a root in the dark,a root that lacks the strength to live up and out,a root that is always down and never up. I want to be a tree, I want to be a branch that spreads its arms and reaches for the moon;I want to be a leaf that floats on the wind, a flower that dances in the sun. I don't want to go on being a root in the dark,vacillating, stretched out, shivering with sleep,downward, in the soaked guts of the earth.
