TWENTY LOVE POEMS AND A SONG OF DESPAIR

BY PABLO NERUDA
1924

The Chilean poet Neruda is the swoon master! This achingly beautiful collection of work is a must-read for every romantic out there. He wrote this book at 19 years old and hence it's full of teenage intensity and gorgeous pieces like this, which made me seriously consider lowering my dating 'age range' tbh: 

"I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees." 

- Pablo Neruda
