Southern Cone Literature:
Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993)

Photographic portrait of Silvina Ocampo.

"When you write everything is possible, even the very opposite of what you are. I write so that other people can discover what they should love, and sometimes so they discover what I love. I write in order not to forget what is most important in the world: friendship and love, wisdom and art. A way of living without dying , a way of death without dying. On paper, something of us remains, our soul holds onto something in our lives: something more important than the human voice, which changes with health, luck, muteness and, finally, with age."

Leopoldina's Dream. Daniel Balderston, tr.
Ontario: Penguin Books, 1988.
