In the beginning was a word. Neverness, Jorge Luis Borges had said, is a word unlike any other in any language. It is a powerful word, a poem in itself, but also a dreadful word full of hopelessness, sadness and despair. Eternity does not begin to capture its meaning, not even in the sense of a negative eternity or an impossibility that continues forever.How is it possible that the impossible might not only be possible but inevitable? What was the most impossible thing in all the universe?
