Borges Began

Famous quotes containing the words borges and/or began:

“Music, feelings of happiness, mythology, faces worn by time, certain twilights and certain places, want to tell us something, or they told us something that we should not have missed, or they are about to tell us something; this imminence of a revelation that is not produced is, perhaps, the esthetic event.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

“But the cheerful Spring came kindly on
And show’rs began to fall:
John Barleycorn got up again
And sore surpris’d them all.”
