"This can't be," I stammered, my voice hadly recognizable as my own.
"It can't be, yet it is," the Bible peddler said, his voice litte more than a whisper. "The number of pages in this book is literally infinite. No page is the first page; no page is the last. I don't know why they're numbered in this arbitrary way, but perhaps it's to give one to understand that the terms of an infinite series can be numbered any way whatever."
Jorge Luis Borges, "The Book of Sand"
