‘Lost in the woods I snapped off a dark branch Pablo Neruda Lost in the woods, I snapped off a dark branch and, lifted its murmur, in thirst, to my lips: perhaps the weeping voice of the rain, a shattered bell, or a broken heart. It came to me, something out of far distance, deeply concealed, and hidden by Earth, a cry, defeated by immense autumns, by half-opened moistness of shadowy leaves. But waking out of the wood’s dream there, that hazel branch sang under my tongue, and its vagrant perfume rose to my mind as if suddenly roots I had long abandoned searched me, the lost domains of childhood, and held me, wounded by wandering fragrance.
