The speaker of a poem in this collection compares his mouth to “a spider, trying to hide” after “marking the atlas of your body / with crosses of fire.” Another poem in this collection implores, “let me remember you as you were before you existed,” (15[2])and begins, “every day you play with the light of the universe.” The speaker thinks to write, “the night is starry / and the stars are (15[1])blue and (*) shiver in the distance” in a poem in this collection that claims, “love is so short, forgetting is so long.” The title object’s “white hills, white thighs” open this collection’s first poem, “Body of a Woman.” The refrain “in you everything sank!” (10[1])appears in this collection’s final poem, which follows “Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines.” For 10 points, name this collection of twenty-one romantic poems by Pablo Neruda.
