[0111] So on & on to no purpose till finally at a stand again
since to his ears just audible ^oh how ^{and here} some word
he could not catch it would be to end somewhere
he had never been^. before.

[0112] Over & over ^{Again &} again
to his straining ears ^oh how & here that one syllable
word ^word he could not catch it would be etc. After
or rather before each repeat ^{Before again} every length of pause from none
or next to none to so long that perhaps not again
never to be heard again.[0112|001] Till again how something
it would be to end etc.[0112|002] This in common with the other
sounds which of another strain ^nature in that faint always.

[0112|003] And eerily but for that one word ^key word no less
faintly clear when by rights drowned when together with
sounds ^{at the same time as grief} or time or both ^{the two} together though this most unlikely
unlikely at their loudest though this if not unthinkable
improbable.[0112|004] Unthinkable![0112|005] Key needed for an inkling of what
meant by this ejaculation for with oh how to open and
for all its tonelessness what better word for it unless
perhaps exclamation or simply cri de coeur.

[0112|006] Given Given
the brief sound the word made x as uttered he
came finally to the conclusion as he stood there stock still
with bowed head & hands ?
that whatever it woul was it could only be one
of one syllable only.[0112|007] And some time later
that coming after how & in view of what followed
the most likely part of speech was the adjective.

[0111] So blindly on till stayed by to his ears as if
from within far within oh how and here a word
he could not catch it were to end where never till then.
[0112] Pause then from next to none to so long that perhaps never
again and then again oh faint to his straining ears as if
oh how and here from far within his head oh how and
here that missing (wanting?) word again it were to end
where never till then.

[0111] So on till stayed when to his ears from far within ^{nowhere far within}
oh how and here a word he could not catch
it were to end where never till then.

[0112] Pause
then as time dragged on ^{went by} from next to none
before again not long till again to so
long that perhaps never again and then
again faint ^{[ADDITION]Addition on page 9vhoarse from long silence faint} from far within oh how
& here again that missing word it were to
end where never till then.

[0112|001] But though but
is not the word but where then as he stood there
all bowed down and to his ears from far
within again & again how something it would
be ^were to end where never till then where then ^already if
not ^xxx where never till then.[0112|002] This boundless void
waste[0113] ^{[ADDITION]Addition on page 9vIn any case whatever it might be it were to end where never till then
xxx and so on was he not already as he stood
there all bowed down & to his ears from far within
again & again oh how something & so on was he
not already so far as he knew already there where
never till then?} [0113|001] It would seem indeed so far as he knew
