Pablo Neruda
“But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.”
Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda
“Sonnet XVII

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:

where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ”
Pablo Neruda

Milan Kundera
“When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Μενέλαος Λουντέμης
“Σε περιμένω. Μη ρωτάς γιατί.
Μη ρωτάς γιατί περιμένει κείνος
Που δέν έχει τί να περιμένει
Και όμως περιμένει.
Γιατί σαν πάψει να περιμένει
Είναι σα να παύει να βλέπει
Σα να παύει να κοιτά τον ουρανό
Να παύει να ελπίζει
Σα να παύει να ζεί.
Αβάσταχτο είναι...Πικρό είναι
Να σιμώνεις αργά στ'ακρογιάλι
Χωρίς να είσαι ναυαγός
Ούτε σωτήρας
Παρά ναυάγιο. ..”
Menelaos Lountemis

Milan Kundera
“Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
