"(...) But you, gentle language of Germany, I chose you, and I sought you out alone.
By way of grammar books and patient study,
through the thick undergrowth of the declensions, the dictionary,
which never puts its thumb on the precise nuance, I kept moving closer.
(...) Once, I had you. Now, at the far extreme of weary years,
I feel you have become as out of reach as algebra and the moon."

Jorge Luis Borges
(1899 - 1986)
