There Are More Things

I had one card still up my sleeve, but I put off playing it for several days,

not only because I sensed how utterly useless it would be but also because it would drag me

to the inevitable, the ultimate.

I had foreseen this failure, but it is one thing to foresee something, and another thing when it comes to pass.

Over and over I told told myself that time - that infinite web of yesterday, today, the future, forever,

never - is the only true enigma.

I felt that I had intruded, uninvited, into chaos.

Curiosity got the better of fear, and I did not close my eyes.

There are More Things - Borges
