Don't go far off, not even for a day, because I don't know how to say it - a day is long and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep. Don't leave me, even for an hour, because then the little drops of anguish will all run together, the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift into me, choking my lost heart. Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach, may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance. Don't LEAVE me for a second, my dearest, because in that moment you'll have gone so far I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking, will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying? ↗

— Pablo Neruda

My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends— It gives a lovely light! ↗

The heart can think of no devotion Greater than being shore to the ocean- Holding the curve of one position, Counting an endless repetition. ↗
