[1621|001] was not all. [1622] For there was involved here, I mean
when I exploited thus the inequalities of t
inequalities in the ground, a further element
of disequilibrium, I mean my crutches, which
one of which would have been needed to be long[,]
and the other short, if I was [not] not to decline
from the to prevent me from declining from
the vertical.

[1623] No No? [1624] I don't know. [1625] And
then there were the ways I took, my ways, for
the most part little tracks in the forest, that
was natural, where the differences of level,
if they abounded, were too ^so confused and too
erratic erratic that they could not be of help
to me.

[1626] But did it make so great a difference
after [⁁]^all, as far as the pain was concerned, whether
I rested my leg or whether I worked it?
[1627] I think not. [1628] For the leg that was at [rest] [1626] But

the work suspended, if only for an instant.

[1630] But
I am human I trust, and my progress felt
the effects of this state of affairs, and from the
slow and painful [progress] ^progress that it always had
been, whatever [I may h] I may have let escape
[wa] to the contrary, was transformed, with respect

[1630] let it be said, into a veritable calvary, with no
end limit to its stations and no hope of crucifixion,
[xxx] without false blushes be it said, and
no Simon, and compelled me to frequent
stations.

[1631] Yes, my progress compelled me
to stop more and more frequently, the only
way I could progress was to stop. [1632] And
though it is not ^no part of my tottering in-
tentions to treat at length, [xx] deal at
becoming length with these brief instants
of the immemorial atonement, I must
yet I must for my sins touch lightly upon
