Nothing, itâs me talking. ââ I was just saying that you could have just as well left it alone . . . What! . . . Huh? . . . Ah, I was just dropping off to sleep . . . ââ no, I wanted to think some more about this small idea that gets bigger; I donât entirely grasp the progression; now itâs huge, the idea ââ and itâs taken hold of me ââ to live off of me, yes, I am its means of existence; itâs heavyâI have to present it, represent it to the world.âIt has taken hold of me so that Iâll haul it around to everyone.âIt weighs upon me as heavily as God Himself . . .
