Abdalbarr, you have robbed my words and toughts. I absolutly agree with you. Thans to Bertil and Richar Brem for the information. Till the point I know, Borges didn´t write a journal, at least it wasn´t published. I also have looked for in some interviews - books with Borges and never read any quote about Jünger ( this year has been published a new book of interviews between Borges and Sabato, but I haven´t read it yet). We will have to wait the work of the Borges Foundation in Buenos Aires managed by his wife María Kodama. Anyway, the only thing I know about this is Borges considered " Storms of Steel" as one of his favourites books. I don´t remember where I found the quote ( probably in the letters to his great friend and almost unknow poet Jacobo Sureda, but I am not sure), but what Borges said about this book is very simmilar to what André Gide said and also the volcanic eruption that EJ said in his journal, Greetings, Dani
