So I switched on the electric light, thinking: Now
The outside will seem brown ............
But no.	y_0
The outside did not seem brown.
And he did not mind the yellow electric light.
Silent 1
He was having a silent rest.
But never 1	75
Not in my room.
Round and round and round
Near the ceiling as if in a web,
Staggering;
Plunging, falling out of the web_>	80
Broken in heaviness,
Lunging blindly,
Heavier ;
And clutching, clutching for one second's pause,
Always, as if for one drop of rest,	^5
One little drop.
And I!
Never, I say ............
Go out !
Flying slower,	90
Seeming to stumble, to fall in air,
Blind weary.
Yet never able to pass the whiteness of light into
freedom ..........
A* bird would have dashed through, come what might.
