"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legends. Legends fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that give it birth comes again."

-Robert Jordan

"Solomon saith: There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance; so Solomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion."

-Francis Bacon: Essays LVIII.
(Epígrafe en "El Inmortal" de Jorge Luis Borges)

"¿Y a mí qué me importa el futuro? Sin duda, Seldon lo habrá previsto y se habrá preparado para él. Llegarán otras crisis en el futuro, cuando el poder del dinero esté tan muerto como fuerza histórica como lo está ahora el de la religión. Que mis sucesores resuelvan sus problemas, como yo he resuelto el nuestro."

-Isaac Asimov

Chocolate Almond Cake -Poetry-

For this little enterprise
you will chop rock almonds
and cut chocolate stars.

You will mix eggs, flour,
sparkling sugar crystals,
milk that spills over the batter,
and melted stars in exotic rum.

You will heat it at 350 grades
over the melted center of the earth
that stands in your kitchen.

Then you will cover it all over again
with a coat of chocolate and almond glace,
sparkling, sponge, magical, superb…
Fluffy clouds that in your mouth melts.

You can make the experience more heavenly
By putting a ball of snowy vanilla cream
To the left of this special rocky fudge delicate,
Where every humani, any race and all creation
Can enjoy the devilish sensation of creamy flavors.

And so, to every humani,
any race and all creation;
I will give you a stellar blessing:
“Bon appetite, buen provecho,
Enjoy this little piece of perfection.”
