In a small room, a book was opened by a mystic man… all that happened in an eternal library.
He was one of the last Borges’ characters, Jaromir Hladik, who -in the point of being shot- stopped a bullet to correct his imaginary literary work.

El místico abrió un libro en una pequeña sala en una biblioteca eterna.
Fue precisamente uno de los últimos personajes borgeianos, Jaromir Hladík, quien, a punto de ser fusilado, logra detener la bala por tanto tiempo como necesita para corregir mentalmente su obra literaria.

Jorge Luis Borges’ poetry reveals him as a man struggling and often agonized by an inward split in his soul. He was in love with the now. He invokes it over and over again exquisitely in such lines as, “the first jasmine of November... the smell of a library or sandalwood...the smoothness of a filed fingernail...a tiger printing a track along the muddy banks”. Yet, always right after he lovingly caresses the now, the materiality, the seeming solidness, awe and wonder of existence, he immediately feels compelled to erase any reality to the words that try to mirror his now. He mourns, even as he denounces the existence, the apparent realness in which we humanly exist.

After reconstructing his own self-deconstruction in Absalom, Absalom! by resurrecting Quentin Compson and putting him to work re-telling the South’s tangled past, William Faulkner set out to accomplish the same regeneration with one of the American South’s specific and divided selves: the rationalized walls built between society and the Feminine ethic.

Silvia Cuevas Mostacero My Soul

Mi ALma

Silvia Cuevas Mostacero

This is an inner trip. A trip into my soul. A trip to my demons, fears and anguishes which are in the depth of what we always are looking for in this life: Happiness (except when you are looking for basic foodstuff or anything from necessity: the body rules). I’ve come to the conclusion that what we call “achieving Happiness” (with a capital) is having those necessities fulfilled and creating more “intellectual” ones, so having to fulfill those again starts the cycle over and over again, and here you are not being fully satisfied until your body is less demanding and does not allow you to make any effort. How depressing. Let’s change the point of view. ReadWholeText

Éste es una viaje al interior. Un viaje al interior de mi alma. Un viaje hacia mis demonios, temores y angustias que están en el fondo de lo que siempre buscamos en esta vida: La Felicidad (excepto cuando estás buscando qué comer o cubrir cualquier necesidad básica: el cuerpo manda). He llegado a la conclusión de que eso que llamamos “alcanzar la Felicidad” (con mayúscula) es tener esas necesidades cubiertas y crear otras más “intelectuales”, y teniendo que cubrir esas nuevas necesidades comienza el ciclo una y otra vez y aquí estamos sin poder estar satisfechos por completo hasta que nuestro cuerpo se vuelve menos exigente y no nos permite realizar esfuerzos. ¡Qué deprimente! Cambiemos de tercio. LeerTextoCompleto
