Although several poems of Trilce seem to indicate a horizon of utopian hope, a careful reading finds, rather, that hope is conditioned by the difficulty of accessing the act. There is no image or proposal of the act, but rather a presentation of the substratum from which the act should emerge as an ethical act. This substratum consists of the molecular time that characterizes the book in its totality and that constitutes a destruction of modern time-space. Then, the act would be preceded by a certain annulment of existing reality. The act traverses that without form; the desire of the act in Trilce includes the annulment of the separation of art and life.

I propose an assemblage of texts —a provocative confrontation of some texts— rather than a commentary. That is why everything that would correspond to a description has been limited as far as possible. The analysis offered is largely in the juxtapositions themselves. First, however, one would have to begin with a preamble to place the materials. Moving from merely Creole historiography to what could be a total image of Peru (recognizable by all) has been one of the concerns of twentieth-century Peruvian historians.
