“A primeira morte acontece na linguagem, nesse acto de arrancar os sujeitos do presente para os fixar no passado. Transformá-los em acções acabadas. Coisas que começaram e acabaram num tempo extinto. Aquilo que foi e não voltará a ser.”
Karina Sainz Borgo, La hija de la española

“Mientras redactaba la inscripción para su tumba, entendí que la primera muerte ocurre en el lenguaje, en ese acto de arrancar a los sujetos del presente para plantarlos en el pasado. Convertirlos en acciones acabadas. Cosas que comenzaron y terminaron en un tiempo extinto. Aquello que fue y no será más. La verdad era esa: mi madre ya solo existiría conjugada de otra forma. Sepultándola a ella cerraba mi infancia de hija sin hijos. En aquella ciudad en trance de morir, nosotras lo habíamos perdido todo, incluso las palabras en tiempo presente.”
Karina Sainz Borgo

“Writing out the inscription for her headstone, I understood that death takes place in language first, in that act of wrenching subjects from the present and planting them in the past. Completed actions. Things that had a beginning and an end, in a time that’s gone forever. What was but would never be again.”
Karina Sainz Borgo, It Would Be Night in Caracas
