ANDERS GEDICHT van de Argentijnse dichter & schrijver JORGE LUIS BORGES (1899-1986): THOSE THINGS ARE GIVEN TO US A writer, or any man, must believe that whatever happens to him is an instrument; everything has been given for an end. This is even stronger in the case of the artist. Everything that happens, including humiliations, embarrassments, misfortunes, all has been given like clay, like material for ones art. One must accept it. For this reason I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so we make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.
