Todas las cosas son palabras del
idioma en que Alguien o Algo, noche y día,
escribe esa infinita algarabía
que es la historia del mundo. [...]

Jorge Luis Borges, "El otro, el mismo"

In English: "All things are words of the / language in which Someone or Something, night and day, / writes the infinite babbling / that is the history of the world".
