To a Minor Poet of 1899 (Borges)
To leave a verse concerning the sad hour
that awaits us at the limit of the day,
to bind your name to its sorrowful date
of gold and of vague shade. That’s what you wanted.
With what passion as the day drew to its close
you labored on and on at the strange verse
that, until the universe disperses,
would confirm the hour of the strange blue.
I do not know if you ever succeeded
nor, vague elder brother, if you existed,
but I am alone and want oblivion
to restore your fleeting shade to days
in the supreme already worn-out effort
of words wherein the evening may yet be.
[Translation: C. Tomlinson]
