MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN A BOOK OF JOSEPH CONRAD In the shimmering countries that exude the summer, the day is blanched in white light. The day is a harsh slit across the window shutter, dazzle along the coast, and on the plain, fever. But the ancient night is bottomless, like a jar of brimming water. The water reveals limitless wakes, and in drifting canoes, face inclined to the stars, man marks the limp time with a cigar. The smoke blurs gray across the constellations afar. The present sheds past, name, and plan. The world is a few vague tepid observations. The river is the original river. Man, first man. -- Jorge Luis Borges (the writer of our time)
