4. Jorge Luis Borges-A key in Salonica
Abarbanel, Farías or Pinedo,
Persecuted and driven out of Spain
By the unholy Inquisition, still retain
The key to a certain dark house in Toledo.
All liberated now from hope and fear,
They look at it in the last light of day:
Its bronze speaks of the past, the far away,
Old fires and quiet suffering year by year.
Now that its door is fragments, it has thinned
To a cipher for the Diaspora, for the wind,
Like to that other key of the Second Temple,
Which someone flung up when the Roman legion
Fell on the Jews to make them an example,
And which a hand reached down for out of heaven.

I don't drink coffee, I take tea my dear I like my toast done on one side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York …
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York
