I know Borges is not the first to do this, but it's fascinating to listen to a great poet as scientist. So far almost every poem has alluded to light as it is literally and emotionally felt-- both in all the great nostalgic/beautiful ways and also the literal truth of light arriving from distant galaxies to illuminate our cul de sacs. Superb!

"Vibrant in swords and in passion
and asleep in the ivy,
only life exists."

You who so much loved your England
And did not name her—
Today you are but a few words
That Germanic scholars annotate;
Today you are my voice
When it calls back to life your iron words.
Of my gods or of the sum of time I ask
That my days attain oblivion,
That like Ulysses I may be called No One,
But that some verse of mine survive
On a night favorable to memory
Or in the mornings of men.
(from TO A SAXON POET)
