One has told me (one = someone: someone has told me
                                                                          = somebody
                                                                                         has told me)


              This is a happiness that you are here
                                      (good to see ya)

                            just as he stopped talking, he sits

                                   to make to fall
   to push, that is throw down, demolish, that is
                                  overturn, that is turn over
                      to ruin, that is to make to fall into pieces
                                                           to lower, decline, diminish


blind

          nothing to dread when (...)
          if (...) --We have not had


                       black

                                              climate in: meandering
                            in: the woods where they were born


            well the
            --The water (...)
            the water (...) source or (...) river

                                                       more black


           we're here
                 the (noise, sound)


                                 (repose, peace)
                                            Ah! trés beau!
                                  already, tomorrow, since, henceforth

 

[30]



(Incroyable!)
                   the grand invention, the finding
                                                        Ah voilà! An idea


                                                             (unheard of)


           less black

                           than yours; --also, when one wants
                                           as black as yours


                                                                            very black

                          the river
                          to persevere, to escape, to expire, to stay
                          when
                          destiny that you've been menaced by
                          point indiscreetly
                          and you
                          n't
                          which dissipates itself

                 in the sky
                                            baby blue
deep yellow, light yellow, dark green,

                                                                    violet black, blood red

                 

                           fly, run, go: avenge us
                           run, fly, be gone: we're avenged

                                    it is to that (that which) I consent
                                    this that (that which)
                                    this is of that (that which) I'll speak later

 

[31]



One recalls
                     one prepares and parts


                                                : memorize well that. Memorize this:


        some high poplars ornament the borders of the river

                                                   it snows, --it rains, --it thunders

among the trees, the most beautiful is the cedar
           again: voilà! a little river

                                               

                                                                            Horror! Ah!


               and plunges deep into the water where (...)
                                                   touching it with the hand (...)



validates, vacates, vanishes,


                                               --this word (...) escaped from me:
                                               details (...) escaped me until now
                                                              sufferances
                                                              nothing more to see
                                                        necessity
                                                              is who?
                                                    in order to know who

the extremity

                                                              (...) is soft and malleable
                                                                                   (...) but less
distinctly. With the hand, and on top of that with the extremity of the
fingers
                                      (...) very sharp of things (...)


                     this is ... that..., this is

                                        
                                       then, today, beforehand, at once

                                                     this arrow
                                                         this flesh


A shade, a shadow, a nothing


                                     constant
                                     constant


I (can, hope to, want to, would like to, desire to, demand to,
plan to, decide to) leave now
I (think, believe, dread, tremble that, nearly found, have the
impression, am afraid, can't help that) I'm fainting

By seeing: in order to have seen
