He remembered the shapes of the clouds  in the south at the dawn of the 30th of April of 1882, and he could compare them in his  recollection with the marbled grain in the design of a leather-bound book  which he had seen only once, and with the lines in the spray  which an oar raised in the Rio Negro on the eve of the  battle of the Quebrancho.” In the short story “Funes, the Memorious,” Jorge Luis Borges explores what it would  be like to have a perfect memory.
Sjetio se oblika oblaka na jugu, u zoru 30. travnja 1882., i mogao ih je uspoređivati sa  sjećanjima mramorne teksture dizajna knjige kožnog uveza koju je vidio samo jednom, s linijama koje je veslo načinilo u Rio Negru u noć pred borbu u Quebrachu." U kratkoj priči "Funes pamtilac", Jorge Luis Borges istražuje kako bi to bilo imati savršeno sjećanje.
