Tree Of Time: Heraclitus, Borges And Dutendra

Rating: 5.0


'No man ever steps in the same river twice' - Heraclitus
'To gaze at the river made of time and water
And recall that time itself is another river' - Jorge Luis Borges

Heraclitus, Borges and Dutendra

Borges,
was Heraclitus.
Dutendra,
was Borges.
Heraclitus,
was Dutendra.
Actually, all of three were a river.

But time like mongoose got across the river twice
and became three.

Philosophy. Mythology. Mysticism. What profound poetry. And to wrap it up so succinctly. What genius. Congratulations, Dutendra.
