[2322.2] or into another, let us be impartial, he thinks he's got ^caught me,
he feels me inside him in him, then he says I, as if I were he,
or in another, let us be just, then he says Murphy, or Molloy,
I forget, as if I were Malone, but their day is past and gone ^over,
he wants none but himself, for me, , he thinks it's his last chanc
chance, he thinks that, they taught him out ^how to think, this, that,
it's always he who speaks, I never spoke Mercier never spoke,
Moran never spoke, I never spoke, I seem to speak, that's because

[2322.2] he says I as if it were I, I nearly believed him too, do you hear
him, as if he were I, I who am afar, who can't move, can't be
found, but neither can he, all he can s^do is talk, if he can do
that much, perhaps it's not he at all, perhaps it's a band ^multitude,
one after the other, [2322.3] how confused that is ^{what confusion}, someone speaks of ^mentions con-
fusion, is it a fault ^sin, all here is fault ^sin, you don't know why,
you don't know whose, you don't know towards whom, someone says
you, it's the fault of the pronouns, there is no name for me,

[2322.3] no pronoun for me, all the trouble comes from that, that, it's
a kind of pronoun too, it isn't that either, I'm not that either,
let us leave all that, forget about all that, it's not difficult,
our concern is with someone, or oue^r concern is with something,
there we are ^{[⁁] now we've got it} at last, someone or something that is not there, or
that is not anywhere, or that is there, here, why not, after all,
and our concern is with speaking of that, now we have it, you don'^t
know why, why you must speak of that, but there it is, you can't,

[2322.3] no one can speak of that, you speak of yourself, someone speaks
of himself, that's it, in the singular, a single one, the man
on duty, he, I, no matter, the man on duty speaks of himself,
it's not that, of others, it's not that either, he doesn't know,
how could he know whether he has spoken of that or not when
speaking of himself, when speaking of others, when speaking of
things, the man on duty, when speaking of himself, it's I, when
speaking of myself, how can I know, I can't know, if I've spoken

[2322.3] of him, I can only speak of me, no, I can't speak of anything,
[2322.4] and yet I speak, perhaps it's of him, I'll never know, how could
I know, who could know, who knowing could tell me, I don't know
