 Borges     So what did Borges think when he first learned    that Camoes dueled and beat a Borges (who    collapsed to the bloody street) when he returned    back home from Lisbon in 1552?    Maybe he said, "Ah, blades, of course, why not?"    Or maybe, he wished that it was him in the heat    of the fight, self-assured and fearless, hot    to wield his sword, gracious in defeat.    Admitting, "If a Borges has to lose,    it's best to lose to this crazy Senhor    Camoes"--even this young one, flush with booze,    this one-eyed no-account, long before    the sonnets, long before the going mad    in Goa, and long before the Lusiad.

Borges

   So what did Borges think when he first learned
   that Camoes dueled and beat a Borges (who
   collapsed to the bloody street) when he returned
   back home from Lisbon in 1552?
   Maybe he said, "Ah, blades, of course, why not?"
   Or maybe, he wished that it was him in the heat
   of the fight, self-assured and fearless, hot
   to wield his sword, gracious in defeat.
   Admitting, "If a Borges has to lose,
   it's best to lose to this crazy Senhor
   Camoes"--even this young one, flush with booze,
   this one-eyed no-account, long before
   the sonnets, long before the going mad
   in Goa, and long before the Lusiad.
