teaching him anything whatsoever, for the moment.
imparting to him any instruction of any kind,
for the moment.[1845] This catechist's tongue, honeyed and
perfidious, is the only one they know.[1846] Let him
move, let him try and move, away from this
lacerating noise, that's all they ask, for the
moment.

[1847] Wherever he goes, being in the No
matter where he goes, being at the centre, he will
go towards them.[1848] So he is at the centre, there at
last is a clue of the highest interest, it little matters
to what.[1849] They look, to see if he has moved stirred.

[1850] He is nothing but a shapeless heap, without a face
capable of reflecting the its history of a torment,
but the disposition xxx disposition of which,
its greater or lesser degree of crouch or huddleness,
is no doubt expressive, for specialists, and
enables them to assess the chances of its suddenly
making a bound, or dragging its coils imp dragging
its coils imperceptibly away, as if stricken to death.

[1851] Somewhere in the heap an eye, w a wild equine eye,
always open, they must have an eye, they see him
possessed of an eye.

[1852] No matter where he goes he will
go towards them, towards their song of triumph,
when they know he has moved, or towards their

nearer and nearer.

[1853] No, he can't think anything,
can't judge of anything, but the kind of flesh he's

peace seems to be, will fall ^{drop [ADDITION]Addition on page 28vdrop} and lie when it
suffers no more, or suffers less, or can't go on.

[1854] Then the voice will begin again, faint at first,
then louder and louder, coming from the direction quarter
they want him to retreat from, to make him think
he's pursued and struggle on, towards them.

[1855] In this way they'll bring him to the wall, xxx

to pass their arms and seize him.[1856] How physical
that all is.

[1857] And then, incapable of going any further,
because of the obstacle, and incapable of going
any further in any case, and not needing to go any
further for the moment, because of the great silence
that has fallen, he will drop, assuming he had
risen, but even a reptile can drop, after a long
