"an investigation of the word"

I am in the midst of reading, and attempting to comprehend, Borges' "Selected Non-Fictions"...
What genius and imagination! What sheer effervescence!
( and what am I doing..silly little me.. trying read through, and understand these essays?! )
This week I have finished "A Doctrine of Cycles", "An Investigation of the Word", and am just now moving onto a favorite, "A History of Eternity".
I cannot put into words what his writing means to me, or exactly how it has inspired my life and dreams...
