Hello JPablo! I'm also glad to see you again! I've been quite rude with you in the past... but you know... youth naivete.

That's one of the first poems I've memorize by reading it aloud over and over again. I find it so.. magnificent.

Dios mueve al jugador, y éste, la pieza.
¿Qué Dios detrás de Dios la trama empieza
de polvo y tiempo y sueño y agonía?

Actually, that's a quite appropiate book to start reading Borges: "El Hacedor". It was my first Borges reading. It has short prose fragments, and some poetry.
