Sonnet Xlii: I Hunt For A Sign Of You - Poem by Pablo Neruda I hunt for a sign of you in all the others, In the rapid undulant river of women, Braids, shyly sinking eyes, Light step that slices, sailing through the foam. Suddenly I think I can make out your nails, Oblong, quick, nieces of a cherry: Then it's your hair that passes by, and I think I see your image, a bonfire, burning in the water. I searched, but no one else had your rhythms, Your light, the shady day you brought from the forest; Nobody had your tiny ears. You are whole, exact, and everything you are is one, And so I go along, with you I float along, loving A wide Mississippi toward a feminine sea. Pablo Neruda

Sonnet Xlii: I Hunt For A Sign Of You - Poem by Pablo NerudaI hunt for a sign of you in all the others,In the rapid undulant river of women,Braids, shyly sinking eyes,Light step that slices, sailing through the foam.
Suddenly I think I can make out your nails,Oblong, quick, nieces of a cherry:Then it's your hair that passes by, and I thinkI see your image, a bonfire, burning in the water.
I searched, but no one else had your rhythms,Your light, the shady day you brought from the forest;Nobody had your tiny ears.
You are whole, exact, and everything you are is one,And so I go along, with you I float along, lovingA wide Mississippi toward a feminine sea.
Pablo Neruda
