Poems
Feb 2018
Of old saxons and Ulysses
I have never dared into the old readings
of not so ancient texts
Because I always have believed
that so ulterior culture is not for me
(yet)
So I wonder to myself sometimes
if someone ever had understood Ulysses
with all those recherche wordiness
and cleverly usage of imagination
Because, as you know, I'm not so clever
neither the most versed man on Earth
yet I can write some things
in another unseemly language
Somehow, I find the old saxon
(as the old Borges would say)
quite peculiar
Maybe one day I reach the necessary level
to comprehend the wonders that my mother tongue
cannot provide me nor teach me
So only that way
I could really say
I can understand Ulysses
My mother tongue is spanish.
I'm a huge admirer of Jorge Luis Borges, and is well known that he was such a great english speaker (also he was really good at other languages).
