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

 

[32]



 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


                                                I love to look at green
