En algún lugar, T.S. Eliot recomienda que toda nueva generación debe traducir a sus clásicos, así que me di a la tarea de traducir Ballad of a Thin Man de Bob Dylan, en una muy personal y peculiar versión, ahí va… #TSEliot #BobDylan #BalladOfAThinMan

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

- T.S. Eliot

Happy #Caturday!

T.S. Eliot's 1939 collection of whimsical light poems, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, is entirely dedicated to felines and served as the basis for the musical Cats.

“Is it perfume from a dress / That makes me so digress?”

No, Eliot, it is not the perfume
From a dress or otherwise
That makes me digress.

I digress
Because the mind itself is a digression
Or so I am told.

Sometimes I wonder
If it is not spiritual atyachar
For God to have created
This dilemma, this ridiculousness
That after spending a lifetime
In figuring out the Truth
You are told
What the mind understands
Is still not it.

I would like to ask God,
“Why then God
Give us a mind at all
That cannot fathom it.”
