Abdelmadjid Benjelloun // Aforismos

Abdelmadjid Benjelloun, Moroccan writer, poet and historian, presents in his Aforismos, brief definitions that go to the point or that go to the neck; they leave nothing out, nothing unexplained, following the old arrangement of geometry that warns that the shortest distance between two words is happening. The whole universe fits in one word; understanding its complexity is a matter of conjugating and arguing it, alone and dry, with the stone, the sky, the streams, the men, the silences, the women, the shadow, death and the sea.
 

Mi muerte es un asunto entre el silencio y yo.
