Borges talks about

Alexandre : Je suis assez pour l’ennui. Comme cette secte d’hérétiques dont parle Borges, je crois, et dont la qualité essentielle est dans l’ennui. Pas dans la foi, l’enthousiasme: dans l’ennui, le nul.
Référence probable aux Théologiens (1947), une des nouvelles de L’Aleph (trad. fr. 1967), qui évoque la secte des monotones, pour qui, le temps étant circulaire, tout se répète à l’infini.
