[0048] fore she came after she went or both before she came after she
was gone and you back in the old scene wherever it might be might
have been the samre old scene before as then then as after with the
rat or the wheat or whatever it was the fyellowing ears or that
time in the dunes the glider that passed over that time you went
back soon after long after
[0051] and the glider passing over the same
never any change smame cloudless skies nothing ever changed but
she there or not on your right hand always on your right hand on
the fringe of the field and every now and again in the great peace
like a whisper so faint that she loved you hard to believe you
even you ever made up that bit till the time came
[0054] that time in
the end when you tried and coudlldn't sitting by the window in the
dark and the owl flown to hoot at someone else oe back with a
shrew to its hollow tree when you tried and tried and couldn't any
more no words left to keep it out so gave up there by the window
in the dark or moonlight and not a sound not another sound gave up
for good and let it in and none the worse a great white shroud
billowing in on top of you and little or none the worse little or
none
