[1638] have to come and stick into me, as in the
case of they stuck them ^{[place = supralinear] did} into their unfortunate
Jesus.[1639] No, I need nobody, they'll start
sprouting up under xxx my arse, unaided,
some day when I feel myself soaring above
my condition.[1640] A bowl of th A billy bowl
of thorns, and the air sweet smelling.

[1641] But not too fast.[1642] I still leave to be
desired, I have no technique, none.
[1643] For example, in case you don't believe me,
I have not yet learned ^{[place = supralinear] don't yet know how} how to move, either
locally, in relation to myself, or bodily,
in relation to the shit.[1644] I don't know how to
want to, I want to in vain.

[1645] What doesn't
come from me is knocking has come to the
wrong address.[1646] Similarly the ^{[place = supralinear] my} understanding
is not sufficiently well-oiled to function
xxx without the pressure of some critical
circumstance, as for example a sudden
violent pain felt for the first time.

[1647] Some
nice point in semantics, for example, of a
nature to to accelerate the march of time ^{[place = supralinear] the hours},
could not retain my attention.[1648] For others
the [⁁] ^{[place = facing leaf] [ADDITION]Addition on page 21vtime-abolishing [⁁]} joys of impersonal and disinterested
speculation.

[1649] I only think, if that is the
name for this vertiginous panic as of
hornets smoked hornets smoked out of their
nest, once a certain degree of terror has been
exceeded.[1650] Does this mean that I am less and
less exposed to it, by the grace of inurement?

[1651] To think so would be to underestimate the
extent of the repertory in which I am
plunged and which, it appears, is nothing
compared to what is waiting for me at
the conclusion of my novitiate.[1652] These lights,
gleaming low afar, xxx then rearing up,
in a blaze and sweeping upon me, blinding,
to devour me, x are merely one example.

[1653] My familiarity with them avails me nothing,
each time they give me to reflect.[1654] Invariably
at the last moment up to now ^{[place = facing leaf] [ADDITION]Addition on page 21vEach time} up to now
at the last moment, just as I am beginning
to sizzle, they go out, smoking and hissing,
I know, and xxx nevertheless each
time I xx my phlegm is shattered.

[1655] And in my head, which I am beginning
to locate to my satisfaction, above and a
little to the right, the sparks spurt and
dash themselves out against the walls.

[1656] Sometimes I tell ^{[place = supralinear] say to} myself that I too am in my
head, it's terror makes me say say it,
and the longing to be in safety, surrounded
on all sides by massive bone.

[1657] And I add
that I am foolish to let myself be frightened
by another's thoughts, lacerating my sky
with inno harmless gleams and besieging me
with noises signifying nothing.[1658] But one thing
at a time.[1659] And often all sleeps, as when
I was really Worm, except this voice
