I have traveled through the cities of Europe, I have forgotten thousands of pages, thousands of unsubstitutable human faces, but I keep thinking that, essentially, I have never left that library and that garden.
--From The Library of Babel, by Jorge Luís Borges (1899-1986)
He recorrido las ciudades de Europa, he olvidada miles de páginas, miles de insustuibles caras humanas, pero suelo pensar que, esencialmente, nunca he salido de esa biblioteca y de ese jardín.
