Pablo Neruda (July 12, 1904 - September 23, 1973) was a Chilean writer, politician and Nobel laureate.
With his works translated into many languages, Pablo Neruda is considered one of the greatest and most influential poets of the 20th century. Neruda was accomplished in a variety of styles ranging from erotically charged love poems like his collection Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion deesperada (Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair).
You can find the collection of Neruda's poems here:

and this is one of my favourite poems
I Crave Your Mouth, Your Voice, Your Hair
DON'T GO FAR OFF, NOT EVEN FOR A DAY
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?
Pablo Neruda

- A Great Man is not measured by how fast he get a job or how much money does he have or how prestigious his job is, but by the way he brings joy and warmness to the people around him and how broad his horizon is.
