[2193] could possibly be like, wondering where we could possibly have
met, all my life, well, almost, damn the almost, all my life,
until I joined, joined him, and now it's I am dear to them,
now it's they are dear to me, glad to hear it, they'll join
us, one by one, what a pity they're numberless, so are we,

[2193] dear charnel-house of renegardes renegades, this eveiⁿing de-
cidedly everything is dear, no mattern^, the ancients hear
nothing, for them it's all over, hell is reserved for thr^e last
arrival, and my old quarry, there beside me, for him it's all
over, beside me how are you, underneath me, we^[⁁]'re piled up in
heaps, no, that won't work either, no matter, it's a detail,

[2193] for him it's all over, him the second-last, and for me too,

I never made anyone sug^ffer^, I never stopped anyone's suffering^,
no one will ever stop mine^, they'll never depart^, I'll never
stir^, I'll never know peace^, neither will there^y, but with this
difference^, that they don't want it^, they say they don't want

[2194] it^, they say I don't want it either^, don't want peace^, after
all prehaps they're right^, how coud^ld I want it^, what is it^,
and this business of suffering^, what is it^, they say I suffer^,
perhaps they're right^, and that I'd feel better if I did this^,
sia^aid that^, if my body stirred^, if my head understood^, if they
went d^silent and departed^, perhaps they're right^, how would
