As late as the last hours of wish & wonder he
would sometimes wonder. Faintly wonder whether
it was night or day. ^{was it day or night.} Yet another night ^day or yet
another day ^night. Faintly wish for a clock to str a
clock to strike thirteen instead of one again.
Unlike the one he cannot but still hears afar.

His end may be xxx told in various ways ^{more than one way}.

only ^merely more ^{or less} than it was meant to
mean but other. Particularly when
the hiatus prolonged beyond reason
resumption delayed beyond all reason.

Like that of a last breath long after
pious fingers have closed the eyes.
Further to the confusion the vagrancies
of tone & tempo or the switch at any
shape ^point from one voice to the other. How
vari How elusive ^various thus this simple
set of words! How variously ^{With what choice of emotions sensations} the corner
turned! The seat seen! The suspense
charged between the 2 operations!
Last breath resumed long after the
eyelids closed.
