And that's how it was, that night,shadow and space, earthand time,something that runs and fallsand passes.And that's how all the nightsgo over the earth,leaving only a vagueblack odor.A leaf falls,a dropon the earthmuffles its sound,the forest sleeps, the waters,the meadows,the bells,the eyes.I hear you and you breathe,my love,we sleep.
-Pablo Neruda
