From: "Puedo escribir los versos m�s tristes esta noche."

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.
Es tan corto al amor, y es tan largo el olvido.
Porque en noches como �sta la tuve entre mis brazos,
mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.
Aunque �sta sea el �ltimo dolor que ella me causa,
y �stos sean los �ltimos versos que yo le escribo.

- Pablo Neruda

There was some poetry thing at work last night. I felt the need to post something that is transcendent, courtesy of Neruda, in the original Spanish. In addition to that a definition from the Devil�s Dictionary. �Blank-Verse, n. Unrhymed iambic pentameters -- the most difficult kind of English verse to write acceptably; a kind, therefore, much affected by those who cannot acceptably write any kind.�
