Borges: Le regret d'Héraclite / Matilde Urbach

Yo, que tantos hombres he sido, no he sido nunca
aquel en cuyo abrazo desfallecía Matilde Urbach.

                                        GASPAR CAMERARIUS, en Deliciae Poetarum Borussiae, VII, 16.

The Regret of Heraclitus

I, who have been so many men, have never been
The one in whose embrace Matilde Urbach swooned.

There is misinformation roundabout that Matilde Urbach is a character in William Joyce Cowen's Man With Four Lives. There is no such character in that novel.  Fool that I am, I bought and read the book. 

Angelus Silesius: Es ist auch genug.

Freund, es ist auch genug. Im Fall du mehr willst lesen,
So geh und werde selbst die Schrift und selbst das Wesen.

    Friend, indeed it is enough. In case you wish to read more,
    Just go and become the Script and Essence itself. .
