    Todor Bombov
    “… the primitive comprehension that the state property represents a social one, their identification, and their equalization  could not resist the criticism of the time. The state property is not socialism. The state-monopoly property, as it was on the both sides of the Berlin Wall and which continues to be such one even after it dropped down, is not social property. There was never and nowhere any socialism! In the twentieth century, we passed through a system of utopian socialism as proof that this was not socialism that was not possible, but the utopia of the writers before Marx and after Marx. We were visited by a utopian socialism, which at the contemporary stage is simply capitalism—state, monopolistic.”

    Jorge Luis Borges
    “Habré de levantar la vasta vida
    que aún ahora es tu espejo:
    cada mañana habré de reconstruirla.

    Desde que te alejaste,
    cuántos lugares se han tornado vanos
    y sin sentido, iguales
    a luces en el día.

    Tardes que fueron nicho de tu imagen,
    músicas en que siempre me aguardabas,
    palabras de aquel tiempo- yo tendré que quebrarlas con mis manos.

    ¿En qué hondonada esconderé mi alma
    para que no vea tu ausencia
    que como un sol terrible, sin ocaso,
    brilla definitiva y despiadada?

    Tu ausencia me rodea
    como la cuerda a la garganta,
    el mar al que se hunde.”
    Jorge Luis Borges
