JL: Borges's mother died at 99, so she was
possibly starting to 'corrupt', or
'decompose' as Gilbert would say. But literally,
people die usually of
heart attacks, I was told.
In the late '50s, when Villa-Lobos was seriously
ill, he was asked what he was composing. He
replied that he wasn't composing; he was decomposing.
