Most of the poems with gloomy references to God or Christ are found in Borges later books, while most of his poems with positive allusions are found in his early work. This seems to indicate a trajectory and does not bode well for Borges because, as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and E.M. Jones have pointed out time and again, what is in the soul of an artist will be bared, explicitly or implicitly, in his work.
