...announces that he has a wife, Old Lodge Skins inquires: "Does she show a pleasant enthusiasm when you mount her?" The question seems not lascivious, but full of paternal concern. When he prepares to die, the ancient Human Being chants a prayer and stretches supine before his Maker. Result: nothing. His answer: "Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn't," gives new credence to the speculation that the Indians are one of the lost tribes of Israel...

In all of 20th century literature-a literature shadowed by darkness and blindness-there can hardly be a more powerful intimation of union through suffering than Borges' fiercely compressed parable The Maker. Included in the present volume, this 1958 work suggests Borges' own fate by invoking the life of the blind Homer. Before blindness sets in, writes Borges, the poet lives only by fleeting sensation: "Little by little, the beautiful world began to leave him; a persistent mist erased the lines...
