Hello Friends,
The poet, Mexican Ambassador, and Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz wrote today’s poem for a memorial service for the critic and linguist Roman Jakobson, who passed away in 1982. “Entre Lo Que Veo Y Digo . . . / Between What I See and What I Say . . .” is also included in his 1987 collection Árbol Adentro / A Tree Within. The accompanying English translation is by Paz’s longtime collaborator and translator Eliot Weinberger.
¡buen provecho!
