Little known fact about Pablo Neruda and one of his love stories.


Delia del Carril and Pablo Neruda meet in Madrid one night almost by accident while he was serving as consul general de Chile in Barcelona, after this night they will spend the next 20 years together.  She was twenty years older then him, but her energetic personality and beauty never allow her age to be shown. Her nickname was “the hormingita” (the little ant).  When Neruda met her the first time he was infatuated by her.  When he told his friends about her, he always said, “I’m under Delia’s spell.” Their love was a militant love story, perfume by the dream of revolution.  She was his motivation and his muse.  Unfortunately, the relation ship ends after 20 years, but I still love to share it with you.
