Cover art from Labyrinths, Jorge Luis Borges

Time is living me. More silent than my shadow, I pass through the loftily covetous multitude. They are indispensable, singular, worthy of tomorrow. My name is someone and anyone. I walk slowly, like one who comes from so far away he doesn't expect to arrive.

Jorge Luis Borges, Boast of Quietness

Escrituras de luz embisten la sombra, más prodigiosas que meteoros. La alta ciudad inconocible arrecia sobre el campo. Seguro de mi vida y de mi muerte, miro los ambiciosos y quisiera entenderlos. Su día es ávido como el lazo en el aire. Su noche es tregua de la ira en el hierro, pronto en acometer. Hablan de humanidad. Mi humanidad está en sentir que somos voces de una misma penuria. Hablan de patria. Mi patria es un latido de guitarra, unos retratos y una vieja espada, la oración evidente del sauzal en los atardeceres. El tiempo está viviéndome. Más silencioso que mi sombra, cruzo el tropel de su levantada codicia. Ellos son imprescindibles, únicos, merecedores del mañana. Mi nombre es alguien y cualquiera. Paso con lentitud, como quien viene de tan lejos que no espera llegar.

Jorge Luis Borges, Jactancia de quietud, from Luna de enfrente, 1925

All around us are people, of all classes, of all nationalities, of all ages. For three days these people, these strangers to one another, are brought together. They sleep and eat under one roof, they cannot get away from each other. At the end of three days they part, they go their several ways, never, perhaps, to see each other again.

I was watching 'Turning Terry Pratchett's Discworld into Audiobooks and noticed this in his office (I think they said it was Terry's office in Wiltshire, England). I do not know who put it there but I cried. The neon sign says 'Mind how you go...'. Aziraphale said it to Crowley after they found Agnes' book in the Bentley.
