Lovedddd "Mutations", "Parable of the Palace", "Everything and Nothing", "Ragnarok", and "Inferno, I, 32" from Part 1.

Written in the height of his global fame, Dreamtigers is the work of a man who has made it to the spaciousness of success. Its great echoings reverberate history and human condition, but it doesn't strike me with the same lostness as Borges' other writing. Mysticism and subtle connections are sublime, delicate, rich for returning, and a structuring of something larger. For its holistic mastery, the desperate figuring of youth is absent.

I adored a good amount of the poems in this collection, and only tolerated a few. I admire Jorge Luis Borges' life so much and will definitely be reading more of his work.

About death, work, time, perception and self-reflection. I thought some of the poems were great and some went over my head.

unfortunately lost my patience. really hammered in the borges w the short stories, which were really almost epigraphs; they were good but not as fun as ficciones. poems were so full of greece i needed a thick wad of napkins
