Yesterday, after work, I went into the city and ended up meeting Basil and Peter. We went to Russiatown and to a restaurant called Samarkand (after the Uzbek city) and I had some good Borsht and a kind of Baltica (Russian beer) I had never had before, cloudy with a strong yeast flavor. I also spent more money at the bookstore prior to that.
Today I was tired and did very little. The weather has changed. . . it has become much cooler and the air reeks of Siberia.

Caveat: Vencida está la página
XLVI
Vencida está la página
Y el poema es como si cayera un ruiseñor
Y la página tiene olor a ruiseñor,
A húmedo ruiseñor.
Húmedo como el desierto
Donde cantan sin cesar los ruiseñores.
– Leopoldo Panero (poeta español, b 1948, de su libro entitulado Sombra)
