Beckett uses references to the line 'chi può dir com'egli arde è'n picciol foco', the last line from Petrarch's sonnet CXXXVII of the Canzoniere (probably taken from Montaigne's essay 'De la tristesse'), in Krapp's Last Tape / La Dernière Bande (MS-HRC-SB-4-2-4, page 6r and MS-HRC-SB-4-2-4, page 7r) and in L'Innommable / The Unnamable ("lueurs ... brûlent" in sentence 129 in Minuit 1953 and "faint fires" in MS-HRC-SB-5-9-1, page 04r).

Notes: The book is heavily annotated, whereby two modes discernible (similar to other TCD books): ink, black and blue pen, and pencil underlining and annotation tend to be translations of specific words/lines; coloured pencil tend to be underlining and crosses against passages, ie contextual annotation. Annotations continue to the end of Canto X, after that, nothing. Sample scans of pages 2-9 made.
