Jorge Luis Borges’ short story‚ “Borges and Myself‚” and Julia de Burgos’ poem‚ “To Julia de Burgos‚” are two self reflective pieces about their respective authors.

interpreted meanings that most would look past without proper analyzation. I believe that this famous poem has more in-depth meanings other than just the concept of giving and receiving‚ and that we should take into account the various messages the author could have portrayed with this impactful piece of poetry. “Focus more on what you need than what you want‚” is a very important concept in this poem.
