El artificio de la escritura / The artifice of writing
Cuando el otoño ofrece la maravilla de un día luminoso
después de la tormenta quisiera uno que se detuviera el sol a media tarde y por
un momento volviera el mundo a ser el paraíso que se perdió—el lugar y el
momento imperfectibles, el bien que nos angustia con su ausencia, ésa que
sabemos—aunque no lo queramos admitir—no habrá nunca de ser sino una ausencia.
Somewhere I read the following statement by Senator James Inhofe (R. OK):
"The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be ablechange what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous."
Mutatis mutandis, I would suggest that his choice of words applies very well to his own "arrogance" and the "outrageous" comment about the ecological calamity we are facing.
