Dare I?  Don't I?  No.  Never something this trivial.  Not now, if never, possibly.  Belching back and forth into nothingness.  On second thought, perhaps third as well, nothingness would be preferable.

Nothing to be done.

This was not made for the great meal to be devoured, a dim lamp was all I had been given, and patience without end, to shine it on the empty plate in front of me.  I was a solid in the midst of other unkempt solids.

I tried the salted salt with salt puree and braised salt.  For dessert I had the warmed salt cake with salt dipping sauce.

Nothing to be done.

The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.  I have always been amazed at my contemporaries' lack of finesse, I whose soul writhed from morning to night, in the mere quest of itself.  I marshalled the words and opened my mouth, thinking I would hear them. But all I heard was a kind of rattle, unintelligible even to me who knew what was intended.  I tried to groan, Help! Help! But the tone that came out was that of polite conversation.

There is a little of everything, apparently, in nature, and freaks are common.

Nothing to be done.

We are no longer the same, you wiser but not sadder, and I sadder but not wiser, for wiser I could hardly become without grave personal inconvenience, whereas sorrow is a thing you can keep adding to all your life long, is it not, like a stamp or an egg collection, without feeling very much the worse for it, is it not.

Nothing to be done.

Enough of acting the infant who has been told so often how he was found under a cabbage that in the end he remembers the exact spot in the garden and the kind of life he led there before joining the family circle.  In the landscape of extinction, precision is next to godliness.

Nothing to be done.

I have my faults, but changing my tune is not one of them.  It is right that I too should have my little meal, my mac, my cheeses, and be able to recognize the good in the bad, the bad in the worst, and so grow gently hungry down all the unchanging days, and eat one day like any other day, only shorter.

Nothing to be done.

You are human beings none the less. As far as one can see.  Of the same species as myself.  Of the same species as Pozzo! Made in God's image!  I remember the maps of the Holy Land. Coloured they were. Very pretty. The Dead Sea was pale blue. The very look of it made me thirsty. That's where we'll go, I used to say, that's where we'll go for our honeymoon. We'll swim. We'll eat Baby Jesus cake. We'll be happy.

Nothing to be done.

To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now.  We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment.  How many people can boast as much?  Where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.

Nothing to be done.

Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it.

Nothing to be done.

Every train is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.
