Question
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,” 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 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!” 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. ■END■
