I appreciate the effort that went into both your close reading and the writing that ensured. I think there are intimations of who and how we are, as a species, in the vastness of the universe and life. The idea of a cyclical universe had been put forth during Borges's lifetime and it may have intrigued him, perhaps sufficiently to organize it in his library?

I am eagerly waiting to have you mention and unlock the possible meanings, or dates, represented by MCV, as they are Roman numerals and conceivably carry significance in this same paragraph.

Thanks for the interesting read.
