Jorge Luis Borges: Religio Medici, 1643
Defiéndeme, Señor. (El vocativo
No implica a Nadie. Es sólo una palabra
De este ejercicio que el desgano labra
Y que en la tarde del temor escribo).
Defiéndeme de mí. Ya lo dijeron
Montaigne y Browne y un español que ignoro;
Algo me queda aún de todo ese oro
Que mis ojos de sombra recogieron.
Defiéndeme, Señor, del impaciente
Apetito de ser mármol y olvido;
Defiéndeme de ser el que ya he sido,
El que ya he sido irreparablemente.
No de la espada o de la roya lanza
Y que en la tarde del temor escribo).
Defiéndeme de mí. Ya lo dijeron
Montaigne y Browne y un español que ignoro;
Algo me queda aún de todo ese oro
Que mis ojos de sombra recogieron.
Defiéndeme, Señor, del impaciente
Apetito de ser mármol y olvido;
Defiéndeme de ser el que ya he sido,
El que ya he sido irreparablemente.
No de la espada o de la roya lanza
Defiéndeme, sino de la esperanza.

Religio Medici, 1643
Save me, O Lord. (That I use a name for you
does not imply a Being. It’s just a word
from that vocabulary the tenuous use,
and that I use now, in an evening of panic.)
Save me from myself. Others have asked the same --
Montaigne, Sir Thomas Browne, an unknown Spaniard.
Something remains in me of these golden visions
That my fading eyesight can still recognize.
Save me, O Lord, from that impatient urge:
To yield myself to tombstones and oblivion.
Save me from facing all that I have been,
That person I have been irreparably.
Not from the sword-thrust or the bloodstained lance.
Save me, at least, from all those golden fictions.
Save me, O Lord. (That I use a name for you
