"I saw the rotted dust and bones that had once deliciously been Beatriz Viterbo;
I saw the circulation of my own dark blood;
I saw the coupling of love and the modification of death;
I saw the Aleph from every point and angle, and in the Aleph I saw the earth and in the earth the Aleph and in the Aleph the earth;
I saw my own face and my own bowels;
I saw your face;
and I felt dizzy and wept,"

–El Aleph, Borges
