^From the song "Choro Bandido" ("Crying Bandit", literally) by Chico Buarque and Edu Lobo quoted in FERREIRA, Eliane Fernanda C. "O (In) visível imaginado em Borges". In: Pedro Pires Bessa (ed.). Riqueza Cultural Ibero-Americana. Campus de Divinópolis-UEMG, 1996, p. 313-314. In short, Borges's blindness led him to favour poetry and shorter narratives over novels.
