I translated this from the article in the Spanish Wikipedia. I'm not completely satisfied with the translation. I'd like to know what a trebejo is (I know it doesn't refer to chess here) and how on earth I'm supposed to translate it into English. "Farfetched nebulosity" for nebulosidad rebuscada reads horrible but it was the best I could do (Borges has a way of making things difficult...). So please review and edit.

I'd like to have at least a couple of short examples of Ultraist poetry.

Trebejos: Artefactos. (artifact. perhaps adorns or diversions in this case) REA dictionary -Mariano 13:11, 29 July 2005 (UTC) 66.190.169.8I looked 'trebejo' up in my huge dictionary and I believe tregejo means implement, tool, or utensil. I'm also studying Borges in grad school right now and the four elements my professor gave me where similar.[reply]

1. reduccion a lo elemental 2. eliminacion del inutil 3. Rechavo del exotico 4. sintesis de imagines

As you can see they are similar, but a little simplified. Borges was only an ultraist during the early years of his career so you might want to try looking at his poems during that time period. I would suggest "Barrio reconquistado". In this poem he talks about what it is like coming back to Argentina after being in Europe.
