Pablo Neruda
It is difficult to find an analogue for the sustained passion and gentleness communicated in this absolutely stunning apotheosis of the poetry of sexual love. ... Neruda comes closest to the exultation of The Song of Solomon. ... Matilde Urrutia deserves to enter history in the company of Petrarch's Laura and Dante's Beatrice. --Library Journal.
