Moment or Moments may refer to:
Moments (Spanish: 'Instantes') is the title of a text wrongly attributed to Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. It was widely spread through articles, compilations, posters and email chain letters, mainly in Spanish.
Spanish versions, with some variations, consist of a first person narrated poem about an 85-year-old person who regrets not having enjoyed some simple pleasures during his life and instead having focused on safety and correctness.
The vocabulary, syntax and style do not match those of Borges.
The first known version of the text was authored by American humorist and cartoonist Don Herold, and published by College Humor before 1935, or perhaps early that year, under the title "I'd Pick More Daisies". Herold's text is in prose, and it lacks the melancholic tone of the Spanish poem. E.g.:
Herold published a revised version in the October 1953 number of Reader's Digest.
Another English version, attributed to one Nadine Stair or Nadine Strain, starts:
growing under looking glass
slowing
birth
progress
surpass
blurring
edges out of shape
feel so
safe
passages of passion
messages of mess
fall driven
heartlessness
i am still waiting for this moment
burning
far beyond the sky
melting
mirrors out of time
standing
both sides of the door
blood wash
all over the floor
