- perelin 4y agoWell, somehow Borges apologized to Gibson (and to all of us) for coming up with all of it first. In a way. At least in this world. In this book. "If in the following pages there is some successful verse or other, may the reader forgive me the audacity of having written it before him. We are all one; our inconsequential minds are much alike, and circumstances so influence us that it is something of an accident that you are the reader and I the writer" I think its the from the foreword of "Ficciones".
