[2323.1] and what he's like, and how he manages, it won't be I, that does-
n't matter, perhaps it will, perhaps it will be my world, possible
coincidence, [2323.2] the^re won't be windows, we're done with windows,
the sea refused me, the sky didn't see me, I wasn't there, and
the summer evening sky weighin air weighing on my eyelids, we
must have eyelids, we must have eyeballs, they must have explained
to me, someone must have explained to me, what it's like, an eye,
at the window, before the sea, before the earth, before the sky,

[2323.2] at the window, against the air, opening, shutting, grey, black,
grey, black, I must have understood, I must have wanted it, want-
ed the eye, for my very own, I must have tried, all the things
they have told me, all the things I have tried, it comes in use-
ful still, when I think of it, that too, you must go on thinking
too, go on thinking the old thoughts, they call that thinking,
it's visions, shreds of visions old visions, that's all you can
see, a few old pictures, a window, what need had they to show

[2323.2] me a window, saying, I don't know, I don't remember, ^{no, I forget,} it doesn't
come back to me, a window, saying, There a^re others, there are
others ^even more beautiful, and the rest, walls, sky, man, like Mahood,
a little nature, too long to repeat ^{go over}, too forgotten, too little
forgotten, was it necessa^ry, [2323.3] but was that how it happened, who
can have come here, the devil perhaps, I don't see ^{[⁁] can't think of} anyone else,
it's he showed me eve^rything, here, in the dark, and how to
speakn, and what to say, and a little nature, and a few names,

[2323.3] and the outside of men, those in my image, whom I might resemble,
and their way of living, in rooms, in sheds, in caverns, in
woods, or coming and going, I foe^rget, and who went away and left
me, knowing I was tempted, knowing I was lost, whether I succum^bed
or not, have I succumbed or not, I don't know, it isn't I, that's
all I know, since that day it's not I any more, since that day
there is no one any more, I must have succumbed.

[2324] That's all
hypotheses, that helps you forward, I believe in progress, I
believe in silence, ah yes, a few words on the silence, then
the little world, that will be enough, for the rest of eternity,
