The Argentine storyteller, essayist, and apparent historian of philosophy : Jorge Luis Borges apparently wrote of an experience of falling asleep : the penultimate stage to the approach of a deep sleep that a sage ---a seeker of wisdom might one bleesed afternoon or evening eventually find .

Here below is the apparent text ,

' I watch the delectable World first disfigure then extinguish itself ,

in a pallor of ashes,

until all that is gone

seems one with sleep

and one with oblivion . '
