jorge luis borges 'other inquisitions'


let us admit what all idealists admit- the hallucinatory nature of the world. let us do what no idealist has done- let us search for unrealities that confirm that nature... ' the greatest wizard (novalis writes memorably) would be the one who bewitched himself to the point of accepting his own phantasmagorias as autonomous apparitions. wouldnt that be our case?' i surmise it is so. we (that indivisible divinity that operates in us) have dreamed the world. we have dreamed it as enduring, mysterious, visible, omnipresent in space and stable in time; but we have consented to tenuous and eternal intervals of illogicalness in its architecture that we might know it is false.
