In the wave-strike over unquiet stones
the brightness bursts and bears the rose
and the ring of water contracts to a cluster
to one drop of azure brine that falls.
O magnolia radiance breaking in spume,
magnetic voyager whose death flowers
and returns, eternal, to being and nothingness:
shattered brine, dazzling leap of the ocean.
Merged, you and I, my love, seal the silence
while the sea destroys its continual forms,
collapses its turrets of wildness and whiteness,
because in the weft of those unseen garments
of headlong water, and perpetual sand,
we bear the sole, relentless tenderness.
So much here but I especially like the phrase ' collapses its turrets of wildness and whiteness'.
Amazing and beautiful, he painted his love in a very sweet voice of creativity
“In the Wave-Strike Over Unquiet Stones”, expresses how romantic love fades. Like the waves of the ocean, Neruda expresses romantic love ebbing and flowing. [Tambl]

O magnolia radiance breaking in spume, magnetic voyager whose death flowers and returns, eternal, to being and nothingness: shattered brine, dazzling leap of the ocean. Magnificent!
In the wave-strike over unquiet stones the brightness bursts and bears the rose and the ring of water contracts to a cluster to one drop of azure brine that falls. What an imagery these words are able to conjure up! Magical,

Poems such as this literally take my breath away...such exquisite imagery, staggering yet reveals another aspect of nature & love; Neruda is such a beautiful poet, sane and perceptive, sober yet taken with divine eloquence...
