be seen again.[0081] Then so many cries zsince the strokes were last heard that perhaps
they would not be heard again.[0082] Then such silence since the cries were last heard
that perhaps even they would not be heard again.[0083] Perhaps thus the end.[0084] Unless no
more than a mere lull.
[0085] Then all as before.[0086] The strokes and cries as before and he as

all as before again.[0089] So again and again.[0090] And patience till the one true end to time
and grief and self and second self his own.
