Al otro , a Borges , es a quien le ocurren las cosas . Yo camino por Buenos Aires y me demoro , acaso ya mecánicamente , para mirar el arco de un zaguán y la puerta cancel ; de Borges tengo noticias por el correo y veo su nombre en una terna de profesores o en un diccionario biográfico . Me gustan los relojes de arena , los mapas , la tipografía del siglo xviii , las etimologías , el sabor del café y la prosa de Stevenson ; el otro comparte esas preferencias , pero de un modo vanidoso que las convierte en atributos de un actor . Seria exagerado afirmar que nuestra relación es hostil ; yo vivo , yo me dejo vivir , para que Borges pueda tramar su literatura y esa literatura me justifica . Nada me cuesta confesar que ha logrado ciertas páginas válidas , pero esas páginas no me pueden salvar , quizá porque lo bueno ya no es de nadie , ni siquiera del otro , sino del lenguaje o la tradición . Por lo demás , yo estoy destinado a perderme , definitivamente , y sólo algún instante de mi podrá sobrevivir en el otro . Poco a poco voy cediéndole todo , aunque me consta su perversa costumbre de falsear y magnificar .
Spinoza entendió que todas las cosas quieren perseverar en su ser ; la piedra eternamente quiere ser piedra y el tigre un tigre . Yo he de quedar en Borges , no en mí ( si es que alguien soy ) , pero me reconozco menos en sus libros que en muchos otros o que en el laborioso rasgueo de una guitarra . Hace años yo traté de librarme de él y pasé de las mitologías del arrabal a los juegos con el tiempo y con lo infinito , pero esos juegos son de Borges ahora y tendré que idear otras cosas . Así mi vida es una fuga y todo lo pierdo y todo es del olvido , o del otro .
No sé cuál de los dos escribe esta página .

The
other
one
,
Borges
,
is
to
whom
things
happen
.
I
walk
through
Buenos
Aires
,
stop
,
maybe
a
bit
mechanically
,
to
look
at
the
arch
of
an
entrance
way
and
a
grillwork
door
;
I
have
news
from
Borges
by
mail
or
when
I
see
his
name
in
a
list
of
professors
or
in
a
biographical
dictionary
.
I
like
hourglasses
,
maps
,
18th-century
typography
,
the
taste
of
coffee
,
and
Stevenson’s
prose
;
the
other
shares
those
preferences
but
with
a
vanity
that
turns
them
into
an
actor’s
attributes
.
It
would
be
an
exaggeration
to
affirm
that
our
relationship
is
hostile
;
I
live
,
I
let
myself
live
,
so
that
Borges
can
plot
his
literature
and
that
literature
justifies
me
.
It
doesn’t
cost
me
anything
to
confess
he
has
achieved
a
few
valid
pages
,
but
those
pages
can’t
save
me
,
perhaps
because
what’s
good
no
longer
belongs
to
anyone
,
not
even
to
the
other
,
but
to
language
and
traditions
.
In
any
case
,
I’m
destined
to
be
lost
,
definitively
,
and
just
some
instant
of
me
will
survive
in
the
other
.
Little
by
little
I
cede
everything
,
even
though
I’m
aware
of
his
perverse
tendency
to
falsify
and
pontificate
.
Spinoza
understood
that
all
things
want
to
be
preserved
in
their
being
:
the
stone
eternally
wants
to
be
a
stone
and
the
tiger
a
tiger
.
I
shall
remain
in
Borges
,
not
in
myself
(
if
I
am
someone
)
,
but
I
recognize
myself
less
in
his
books
than
in
many
others
and
in
the
laborious
strumming
of
a
guitar
.
Years
ago
I
tried
freeing
myself
from
him
and
went
from
the
mythologies
of
the
arrabal
to
the
games
with
time
and
the
infinite
,
but
those
games
are
Borges’
now
and
I
shall
come
up
with
other
things
.
Thus
my
life
is
a
flight
and
I
lose
everything
and
everything
belongs
to
oblivion
,
or
to
the
other
.
I
don’t
know
which
of
the
two
writes
this
page
.

Alamat ng Buwan at mga Bituin
Noong unang panahon ay mababang-mababa ang langit at walang buwan ni bituin . Bakit kaya tumaas ang langit ? Narito sa alamat na ito ang mga sagot .
Si Maria at ang kanyang nanay ay nakatira sa isang bahay-kubo . Si Maria ay may suklay na ginto at kuwintas na may butil-butil na ginto . Halos araw-araw ay isinusukat niya ang suklay at kuwintas at tinitingnan niya sa kanyang anino sa tubig kung siya ay maganda .
Isang araw nang isinusukat ni Maria ang suklay at ang kuwintas ay tinawag siya ng kanyang nanay .
" Maria , magbayo ka ng palay , " ang wika ng ina .
" Opo , " ang sagot ni Maria , nguni ' t hindi siya kumilos .
" Maria , magmadali ka , " ang tawag na muli ng matanda . " Wala tayong bigas na isasaing . "
" Opo , sandali po lamang , " ang tugon ni Maria , nguni ' t hindi niya inaalis ang kanyang tingin sa kanyang anino sa tubig .
" Maria , sinasabi ko na sa iyong magbayo ka ng palay . Madali ka , " ang galit na galit na utos ng matanda .
Tumindig si Maria at tuloy-tuloy siya sa lusong ng palay . Hindi na niya naalis ang suklay at kuwintas . Nalalaman niyang kapag galit na galit na ang kanyang nanay ay dapat siyang sumunod nang madali . Nagbayo na siya nang nagbayo ng palay . Pagkatapos ng ilang sandali , siya ay pinawisan .
" Napupuno ng pawis ang aking kuwintas , " ang wika ni Maria sa kanyang sarili .
" Hinubad niya ang kuwintas . Inalis ang kanyang suklay . Isinabit ang mga ito sa langit na noon ay mababang-mababa at naabot ng kamay . Samantalang siya ay nagbabayo ay tinitingnan ang suklay at kuwintas .
" Kay ganda ng aking suklay at kuwintas , " ang wika ni Maria sa kanyang sarili . " Pagkatapos na pagkatapos ko nang pagbabayo ng palay ay isusuot ko uli ang aking suklay at kuwintas . "
Sa gayong pagsabi ay dinalas niya ang pagbabayo ng palay upang ito ay matapos at maisuot niya uli ang suklay at kuwintas . Tumaas nang tumaas ang pagbuhat niya ng halo at dumalas nang dumalas ang pagbagsak nito sa lusong . Umaabot na pala ang dulo ng halo sa langit , nguni ' t hindi niya napapansin . Sa palay na ngayon ang kanyang tingin . Tinitingnan niya kung malapit na siyang makatapos upang maisuot niya ang suklay at kuwintas . Itinaas pa niyang lalo ang pagbuhat ng halo upang lumakas ang pagbagsak nito sa lusong at nang madaling mabayo ang palay .
Sa bawa ' t pagtaas pala niya ng halo ay bumubunggo ang halo sa langit at sa bawa ' t pagbunggo naman ay tumataas ang langit . Nang mapuna ni Maria ang nangyayari ay mataas na ang langit . Tangay-tangay ang kanyang gintong suklay at kuwintas . Hindi na niya maabot ang mga ito .
Tumaas nang tumaas ang langit . Tumaas din nang tumaas ang suklay at kuwintas . Noong gabing yaon ay umupo si Maria sa may bintana at tinintingnan niya ang langit na ngayon ay mataas na mataas na . Hinanap niya ang kanyang suklay at kuwintas . Naroroon ang kanyang gintong suklay at siyang naging buwan . Ang mga gintong butil ng kanyang kuwintas at nagkahiwa-hiwalay at siya namang naging mga bituin .
" Lalong maganda ngayon ang aking gintong suklay , " ang wika ni Maria sa kanyang sarali , " At anong kinang ng mga butil ng aking kuwintas ! "

The
Story
of
the
Moon
and
the
Stars
Once upon a time , in the early days , the sky was very low and there were no stars or a moon . Why , we wonder , did the sky get higher ? In this story , the answer will be clear .
Maria and her mother lived in a small hut . Maria had a golden comb and a necklace with beads of gold . Every day , she puts on the necklace and the golden comb on her hair . She looks at the water in the lake to see her beautiful image . One day , when she was wearing the necklace and the comb , her mother called her and summoned her to grind the grains of rice in a giant mortar with a giant pestle . She gladly agreed but she didn’t make a move . " Hurry up , Maria , we have no rice to cook for dinner " . She said she’ll do it right away . But she kept on admiring her image in the water . Her mother said " Maria , I told you to grind the grains of rice ! " in an angry tone . Maria quickly stood up to do what her mother asked and she did not remove the necklace and the comb on her hair . She knew that if her mother had that angry tone , she’d get in trouble . As she grinded the grains of rice , she started to sweat . So she quickly removed her necklace and the comb and hung them in the sky that was so low and reachable at that time . " Oh how beautiful are my necklace and comb " she sighed as she stared at them hanging up in the sky . She told herself that she’ll put them back on when she’s finished grinding the rice . She continued to work as fast as she could grinding with the giant pestle and the faster she did , the higher it went , not realizing that it was actually hitting the sky and pushing it higher and higher up . Her necklace and comb went up higher too and she could no longer reach them .
Maria could not sleep that night . She looked out the window and up the sky that is now so high . She saw her necklace and her comb way up there . The beads of gold in her necklace separated all over the sky which are now the stars and the golden comb is now the moon . Maria was happy that the sky is now so beautiful with the moon and the glittering stars !
