The Nightmare, by Johann Heinrich Füssli
Jorge Luis Borges

La pesadilla

Sueño con un antiguo rey. De hierro
es la corona y muerta la mirada.
Ya no hay caras así. La firme espada
lo acatará, leal como su perro.
 
No sé si es de Nortumbria o de Noruega.
Sé que es del Norte. La cerrada y roja
barba le cubre el pecho. No me arroja
una mirada su mirada ciega.
 
¿De qué apagado espejo, de qué nave
de los mares que fueron su aventura,
habrá surgido el hombre gris y grave
 
que me impone su antaño y su amargura?
Sé que me sueña y que me juzga, erguido.
El día entra en la noche. No se ha ido.
