Weschler writes:
To which we might add the surmise that this is the sort of thing Jorge Luis Borges must
have had in mind when, in his 1960 afterword to El hacedor, he offered up the
following:
A man sets himself the task of drawing the world.
As the years pass, he fills the blank page with images of
provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fish, houses,
instruments, stars, horses, and people. Just before he dies, he
discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the lineaments of
his own face.
