The Immortal - Interesting first impression of Borges. A line puzzles me, "someone is no one" I struggle with that. How could one who has lived through centuries believe themselves to be no one? Maybe the knowledge that every person you meet will only exist in a small moment of time compared to your eternal life. The narrator is a paradox, identifying themselves as both no one- and everyone all at once.
