The Grave

For you was a house built
before you was born,
For you was a moult meant
befor your mother camest.
But it is not made ready,
Nor its depth measured... (Fuentes: Borges; Longfellow; un viejo poema anglosajón)

(Para ti hay una casa hecha
antes de que tú nacieras,
para ti hay hecho un molde 
antes de que tu madre alumbrara.
Pero no está acabado ya,
ni su hondura medida...)
