"Let us look for a third tiger. This one

will be a form in my dream like all the others,

a system, an arrangement of human language,

and not the flesh-and-bone tiger

that, out of reach of all mythologies,

paces the earth. I know all this; yet something

drives me to this ancient, perverse adventure,

foolish and vague, yet still I keep on looking

throughout the evening for the other tiger,

the other tiger, the one not in this poem."

Borges. "The Other Tiger"
