  • "Juegas todos los días con la luz del universo.
    Sutil visitadora, llegas en la flor y en el agua.
    Eres más que esta blanca cabecita que aprieto
    como un racimo entre mis manos cada d?a.
    A nadie te pareces desde que yo te amo."
    Pablo Neruda - Poema Nº 14 (fragmento)


    El gran poeta Pablo Neruda tenía tres casas en Chile; esta, en Isla Negra, es probabemente la más encantadora e interesante. Aquí el vivió sus últimos días, y aquí murió. Su tumba y la de su última esposa, Matilde, se encuentran aquí.


    "You play every day with the light of universe.
    Sutil visitor, you come in the flower and the water.
    You are more than this little head I take
    like racemes in my hands each day.
    You seem like no other since I love you."
    Pablo Neruda - Poem 14 (fragment)


    Great poet Pablo Neruda had three houses in Chile; this one, at Isla Negra, is probably the most charming and interesting one. There he lived his last days and died. His tomb, and Matilde's (his last wife) are there.
