Oh the bitten mouth, oh the kissed limbs,
oh the hungering teeth, oh the entwined bodies.
Oh the mad coupling of hope and effort
in which we merged and despaired.
And the tenderness, light as water and flour.
And the word scarcely begun on the lips.
That was my destiny and in it went my desire,
and in it my longing fell, in you everything sank!
Text: " a Song of Despair" (fragment) of Pablo Neruda
