A WOLF by Jorge Luis Borges - October 1992



Grey and furtive in the final twilight,

he




lopes by,


leaving     his spoor along the bank



of
this nameless river
that has quenched the thirst

of   his throat,



these      waters  that



repeat no stars.


Tonight,    the wolf

is a shade who runs    alone



and    searches   for his mate and feels
cold.




He   is

the last wolf




in  all  of  Angle-land.
