“These poems of Pablo Nerudo are so beautiful.
"Taste, feel, be the words" and you will understand.
Let them come into your heart and you will be the person
receiving a beatiful gift.
Let them come into your heart and you will recognize the things you may feel, but maybe, never know how to say.
Well, what can I say. Just try.

    “Pablo Neruda's work is just exquisite and brilliant. The language in them are so serene, tranquil and subtle. The translation into english is well-done. It still holds the beauty of his work. The Heights of Macchu Picchu is an amazing piece, as all of his other works, i.e. The Captain's Verses, his odes and his sonnets. His prose are even better. "Passions and Impressions" There's a sense obligation and passion to his people, his country, his beliefs and his love in his writing.”
