Fire Quote by Pablo Neruda
““Why did you pour tender fire so quickly, over my life’s cool leaves? Who pointed the way to you? What flower, what rock, what smoke showed you where I live? …while inside, a ferocious love wound around and around me―till it pierced me with its thorns, its sword, slashing a seared road through my heart.””
