Inspirational prose, rhythm and amazing images induced!! Thoroughly enjoyable reading. Now I'll re-read with a dictionary and encyclopedia nearby!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you, kind reader. Interestingly enough, Borges loved old encyclopedias, which he thought of as a kind of short story collection of human understanding. His apartment, down in the old Recoleta barrio here in Buenos Aires, was apparently lined with them, stacked floor to ceiling... a veritable labyrinth of knowledge for the blind man to wander around during in his later years.
