The Form of the Sword by Jorge Luis Borges - Short Story Summary, Analysis, Review
Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! Today we talk about "The Form of the Sword" (also translated to "The Shape of the Sword") by Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges. I had originally planned to talk more about Will and Representation but I hope you can enjoy what we ended up discussing. For what it's worth I broke my toe as we started to film so I tried to focus as much as I could.

Harlem
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
