| Rosa 'Sweet Juliet' & Hosta 'Lucky Mouse' 14 October 2024 |
Borges, ¿qué es para usted la poesía? ¿Cómo la definiría?
Borges: Creo que la poesía es algo tan íntimo, algo tan esencial que no puede ser definido sin diluirse. Sería como tratar de definir el color amarillo, el amor, la caída de las hojas en el otoño… Yo no sé cómo podemos definir las cosas esenciales.
(En Roberto Alifano: Conversaciones con Borges. Buenos Aires, Editorial Atlántida, 1984).
What is poetry for you? How would you define it?
Borges: I believe that poetry is something so intimate, something essential that cannot be defined without diminishing its meaning. It would be like trying to define the colour yellow, love, the fall of leaves in autumn…Y don’t know how we can define essential things.
Today, 14 October 2024 I will be visited by my youngest daughter Hilary. I will prepare dinner and we will then watch the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. Both Rosemary and I adored her.
I noticed the lovely fall colour of Hosta ‘Lucky Mouse’ and the fact that somehow English Rose, Rosa ‘Sweet Juliet’ was in bloom. It had several buds but the chances of them opening with the coming rains made me decide to cut them and scan them.
No matter the season it is always one that reminds me of my Rosemary. This scan has her lovely face on it.
