ACLARATORIA

ACLARATORIA:
estas derivas escriturales
son como toda especulación
un decir que en fuga se expande
hacia una espiral que la diluyen
I don't understand any of this really. The only thing I can think of for derivas escriturales is musings...any ideas. Thanks

sorry for the vagueness. I didn't want a translation of everything, just the derivas escriturales part. next time i'll be more specific. thanks for your suggestions...
Bubo Coroman (X) Oct 23, 2007:
... post a draft translation of your own?
Bubo Coroman (X) Oct 23, 2007:
What many questioners do with a piece like this which is longer than 10 words but difficult to split into small units, is they give a draft translation of their own, and ask answers to suggest improvements, if they can think of any: perhaps you'd like to

Selected

literary detours, drifting, rambling; grasping for words

derivas escriturales


literary detours, drifting, rambling
red herrings
words adrift
literary wanderlust

your key words are ....
especulacion, fuga, diluyen...
Meaning that words/writings/ideas just vanish or are blurred and unclear to our understanding...keep on that note and see what the author is aiming at....confusion, unavailability, loss and so on. Like he/she is blindly grasping for words, words that slip away anyhow and he/she is or gets lost in repetition as in a maze.
