Because of Harri's love of books, I have found a lot of comfort from these words in a poem by Borges. I find myself compelled to seek out or create translations of it and recite them as if they were a mantra of some sort. So I'm sharing here the original, an english version and an estonian version.
yo, que me figuraba el Paraíso
bajo la especie de una biblioteca
- Jorge Luis Borges (Poema de los Dones)
When I imagine Heaven
I have always pictured it as a kind of library
- Jorge Luis Borges (Poem of the Gifts)
siis kui ma olen ettekujutanud Paradiisi,
see on olnud alati raamatukogu sarnane.
- Jorge Luis Borges (Annetiste luuletus)
