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).
