Taking that literally instead of in a Borgesian way, you might find the source in this article (i do not have access @ moment) https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7560/708778 …. The phrase is quoted in this book by Barbara Cassin & Borges & Oulipo are mentioned but I see no sourcehttp://tinyurl.com/yyvuqe38
Ahhh... I can't find it. Somewhere Borges said that "the modern form of fantasy is erudition," but I do not remember where... and I ask myself whether I lack fantasy or erudition

Thank you, Jessica! Yes, I saw this same quote in another Cassin's article, "Philosophising in Languages," (2010) also without source. This seems to tip the balance in favour of "fantasy"...

Interesting! Seems that Borges reinterpretates his own metaphysicians of Tlön, who "judge that metaphysics is a branch of fantastic literature."

He says something like that, but about theology.
