Library of Borges: Vol. 2

What is a divine mind? the reader will perhaps inquire. There is not a theologian who does not define it; I prefer an example. The steps a man takes from the day of his birth until that of his death trace in time an inconceivable figure. The Divine Mind intuitively grasps that form immediately, as men do a triangle. This figure (perhaps) has its given function in the economy of the universe.

from "The Mirror of Enigmas"
in Labyrinths

  1. the fact that it is grasped at all is at once inconceivable but inspiring.
