[0072] too soon. [0073] There I am back at my old aporetics. [0074] Is that
the ^[₰] word? [0075] I don't know. [0076] It does not matter if I do
not finish. [0077] But if I finish too soon? [0078] That does not matter either.
[0079] For then I shall speak of the things that remain in my
possession, that is a thing I have always wanted to do. [0080] It will
be a kind of inventory. [0081] In any case that is a thing I must
leave to the very last moment, so as to be sure of not having
made a mistake.

[0082] In any case that is a thing I shall certainly
do, no matter what happens. [0083] It will not take me more than a
quarter of an hour at the most. [0084] That is to say it could take me
longer, if I wished. [0085] But should I be short of time, at the last

be clear, without being finical. I have always wanted that too.

[0087] It is obvious I may suddenly expire, at any moment. [0088] Would it
not then be better for me to speak of my possessions without
further delay? [0089] Would not that be wiser? [0090] And then if necessary
at the last moment correct any inaccuracies. [0091] That is what
reason counsels. [0092] But reason has not much hold on me, just now.
[0093] All things run together to encourage me. [0094] But can I really
resign myself to the possibility of my dying without leaving
an inventory behind? [0095] There I am back at my old quibbles.

[0096] Pre-
sumably I can, since I ⁱntend to take the risk. [0097] All my life long
I have put off this reckoning, saying, Too soon, too soon.
[0098] Well it is still too soon. [0099] All my life long I have dreamt of
the moment when, edified at last, in so far as one can be before
all is lost, I might draw the line and make the tot. [0100] This moment
