To invent the return of the world

Roberto Juarroz · Argentinië, 1925 – 1995

To invent the return of the world
after its disappearance.
And to invent a return to this world
since our disappearance.
And to reunite the two memories
together in all its details.
One must submit infinity to tests

to see if it resists.

ROBERTO JUARROZ (Argentina, 1925 – 1995)
Translation: Germain Droogenbroodt – Stanley Barkan
