SAN MATEO INSPIRADO POR EL ÁNGEL	ST. MATTHEW INSPIRED BY THE ANGEL
Daniel Samoilovich	trans. Brian Cole
Un ángel habla al oído Mateo que, viejo, barbado, pluma en mano, mira el vacío delante de sí. El ángel no puede estar hablando arameo porque entonces Mateo no tendría nada que pensar: copiaría lo que el ángel le dicta. Murmura el ángel frases sin sentido en cuya oscura música celeste el anciano ve saltar a veces los peces fugitivos de su tema.	An angel speaks into Matthew's ear who, old, bearded, pen in hand, stares into the void in front of him. The angel cannot be speaking Aramaic because then Matthew would not need to think: he would just copy what the angel dictated to him. The angel whispers meaningless phrases in whose dark celestial music the old man sometimes sees them jump, the fleeting fishes of his theme.
