The Power Of English - Sterling Terrell

Jorge Luis Borges on the power of English as a language.

I love that William F. Buckley, whose first language was Spanish, was offering up suggestions.

Asomo? 🤔

In 1977, Jorge Luis Borges, one of the most influential 20th c. Spanish-language writers, told William F. Buckley (whose first language was Spanish) his reasons for feeling, age 78, that English was 'far finer' than his native tongue. Right or wrong, I love his savor for language pic.twitter.com/foOzTu6mYR
