The Moment

Where will they be the centuries, where the sleep
of swords that the Tartar ones dreamed,
where the strong walls that they levelled,
where Adán's Tree and another Log?
The present is alone. The memory
it erects the time. Succession and trick
it is the routine of the clock. The year
it is not less vain than the vain history.
Between the dawn and the night there is an abyss
of agonies, of lights, of taken care;
the face that looks in the worn-out ones
the same is not mirrors of the night.
The fleeting today is tenuous and it is eternal;
another Sky do not wait, not another Hell.

A clear vision of changes.

What are lime beans? Lima, as in the cap of Peru? ? What's with the Spanish comments? I hope this site will remain in English. Does the one comment say that this was not written by Borges? If a comment is in another language, it would be helpful for a translation to be provided. Also is the THATS a typo or a poor translator?
