LO PERDIDO

Donde estara mi vida, la que pudo
Haber sido y no fue, la venturosa
O la de triste horror, esa otra cosa
Que pudo ser la espada o el escudo
Y que no fue?....

~Jorge Luis Borges~

(WHAT IS LOST -
Where is that life/I could have lived and didn't live/the merry or the horrible one/that other thing, which could have been/the sword, the shield/but was not?)
