How does Borges reconcile with his blindness? Explain. |
|
Answer» Borges explains that he had accepted it as a way of life, and was not entirely unhappy. He had accepted it as a ‘Resource’. He thinks that all things had been given to us for a purpose and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including humiliations, misfortunes have to be used as raw material to shape art. He says that even though he is blind, it is his duty to accept it and enjoy things pretending that he is not blind. Even though he is blind he still bought books and filled his house with them. |
