In truth, the {Library} includes all verbal structures,\\\ all variations permitted by {the twenty-five orthographical symbols=>alphabet}, but not a single example of absolute {nonsense}. It is useless to observe that the best volume of the many {f:hexagons=>hexagon} under my administration is entitled _The {Combed=>comb} {Thunderclap}_ and another _The {Plaster} {Cramp}_ and another _Axaxaxas ml&ouml;_. These {phrases}, at first glance incoherent, can no doubt be justified in a cryptographical or allegorical manner; such a justification is verbal and, _ex hypothesi_, already figures in the {Library}. I cannot combine some characters

which the {f:divine} {Library} has not foreseen and which in one of its secret tongues do not contain a terrible meaning. No one can articulate a {syllable=>syllables} which is not filled with {f:tenderness} and {f:fear}, which is not, in one of these {languages}, the powerful name of a {f:god}. To speak is to fall into tautology. This wordy and useless epistle already exists in one of the thirty {f:volumes=>books} of the five {f:shelves} of one of the innumerable {f:hexagons=>hexagon} -- and its refutation as well. (An _n_ number of possible {languages} use the same vocabulary; in some of them, the {symbol=>symbols} _{library}_ allows the correct definition: _an ubiquitous and lasting system of {f:hexagonal} galleries_, but {library} is _{f:bread}_ or _{pyramid}_ or anything else, and these seven words which define it have another value. You who read me, are You sure of understanding my {f:language}?)

No, the source is not online.

En efecto, la Biblioteca incluye todas las estructuras verbales, \\\ todas las variaciones que permiten los veinticinco s&iacute;mbolos ortogr&aacute;ficos, pero no un solo disparate absoluto. In&uacute;til observar que el mejor volumen de los muchos hex&aacute;gonos que administro se titula _Trueno peinado_, y otro _El calambre de yeso_ y otro _Axaxaxas ml&ouml;_. Esas proposiciones, a primera vista incoherentes, sin duda son capaces de una justificaci&oacute;n criptogr&aacute;fica o aleg&oacute;rica; esa justificaci&oacute;n es verbal y, _ex hypothesi_, ya figura en la Biblioteca. No puedo combinar unos caracteres

_dhcmrlchtdj_

que la divina Biblioteca no haya previsto y que en alguna de sus lenguas secretas no encierren un terrible sentido. Nadie puede articular una s&iacute;laba que no est&eacute; llena de ternuras y de temores; que no sea en alguno de esos lenguajes el nombre poderoso de un dios. Hablar es incurrir en tautolog&iacute;as. Esta ep&iacute;stola in&uacute;til y palabrera ya existe en uno de los treinta vol&uacute;menes de los cinco anaqueles de uno de los incontables hex&aacute;gonos—y también su refutaci&oacute;n. (Un n&uacute;mero _n_ de lenguajes posibles usa el mismo vocabulario; en algunos, el s&iacute;mbolo _biblioteca_ admite la correcta definici&oacute;n: _ubicuo y perdurable sistema de galer&iacute;as hexagonales,_ pero biblioteca es _pan_ o _pir&aacute;mide_ o cualquier otra cosa, y las siete palabras que la definen tienen otro valor. T&uacute;, que me lees, &iquest;est&aacute;s seguro de entender mi lenguaje?).
