Digital Manuscript ProjectMalone meurt / Malone Dies

[0938] I am going to do till then.
[0943] This For this[For this] must be going on now for over a
week, it must be over a week since I said, I shall soon be
quite dead at last, etc.
[0944] Wrong again.
[0945] That is not what I
said, I could swear to it, that is what I wrote.
[0946] This last
phrase seems familiar, [0947] suddenly I seem to have written it
somewhere before, or spoken it, word for word.
[0948] Yes, I shall
soon be, etc., that is what I wrote when I realized I did not
know what I had said, at the beginning of my say, and sub-
sequently, and that consequently the plan I had formed, to
live, and cause to live, at last, to play at last and die
alive, was going the way of all my other plans.
[0949] I think the
dawn was not so slow in coming as I had feared, [0950] I really do.
[0951] But I feared nothing, I fear nothing any more.
[0952] High summer
is truly at hand.
[0953] Towar Turned towards the window I saw the
pane shiver at last, before the ghastly sunrise.
[0954] It is no
ordinary pane, it brings me sunset and it brings me sunrise.
[0955] The exercise-book had fallen to the ground.
[0956] I took a long time
to find it.
[0957] It was under the bed.
[0958] How are such things possible?
[0959] I took a long time to recover it.
[0960] I had to harpoon it.
[0961] It is
not pierced through and through, but it is in a bad way.
[0962] It is
a thick exercise-book.
[0963] I hope it will see me out.
[0964] From now on
