El Golem (poem) - unpublished by J.L. Borges - Spain
EL GOLEM Si (como el griego afirma en el Cratilo)
El nombre es arquetipo de la cosa,
En las letras de rosa está la rosa
Y todo el Nilo en la palabra Nilo. Y, hecho de consonantes y vocales,
Habrá un terrible Nombre, que la esencia
cifre de Dios y que la Omnipotencia
Guarde en letras y sílabas cabales. Adán y las estrellas lo supieron
En el jardín. La herrumbre del pecado
(dicen los cabalistas) lo ha borrado
Y las generaciones lo perdieron. Los artificios y el candor del hombre
No tienen fin. -
