Dedicatoria de Borges a una mujer en el texto "Historia universal de la infamia"

What can i hold you with?
I offer you lean streets, desesperate sunsets, the moon of the ragged suburbs.
I offer you whatever insight my books may hold...
I offer you that kernel of myself that i have saved, somehow
-the central heart that deals not in words, traffics not with dreams
and is untouched by time, by joy, by adversities.
I offer you explanations of yourself, theories about yourself, authentic and surprising news of your self.
I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart;
I am trying to bribe you with uncertainly, with danger, with defeat.





"Amar es dar lo que no se tiene a quien no lo es"    Jaques Lacan


Y gracias al velo que permite hacer de la nada un monumento mismo. Ese velo que tapa y a la vez recrea nuestras propias ilusiones del amor.
