Words.
So, quote-hunting for titles for a friend, and I found this;
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,...I think I need to be looking up this author, now.
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
- Pablo Neruda, "Sonnet XVII"

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
Or the arrows of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
In secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love as the plant that never blooms
But carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
Thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
Risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way
Than this: where I do not exist, nor you,
So close that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
So close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
I also really like his poems Juventud, Te recuerdo como eras, and Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Oh.... if this doesn't fit Wanda/Lucien to a "T".......
