Thank you for your rich commentary, @zeleiracordero! The impetus to write this came after reading Octavio Paz in Spanish and then writing in English, myself. I imagined alien tongues so foreign that they would devastate Earthlings' linguistic conceptions completely!

@d-pend,
What did you think of Paz?
He was a complicated guy ... which, in my book, tends to be a good thing (when you think deeply about things , they have a way of becoming complicated). He was to the Spanish-speaking world much as was Orwell to the English-speaking one: a non-ideological idealist, if that's not too much of a contradiction in terms.
