A surety intent in Animal, and all a sharp- ness; yet he says to himself, that he will not touch her in any way, For her I am disorder. Thinking though, that she has a welcomed high minded way, he related. "How familiar are you?" she inquired of him. If their situation is a form, then force might allow ego to be explanation, and he shows confi- dence of character as he speaks.

This page stages attraction and self-restraint beside a grand declaration that real spiritual force means coming back into life rather than escaping it.

Animal's restraint is framed as an act of self-knowledge: he recognizes that he would be disorder to her, then turns that tension into a speech about force, ego, and return. His universe-travel language refuses transcendence as mere departure; the deeper movement is back toward the world's pressure, conflict, and center.

Animal resolves restraint - 'he will not touch her in any way, For her I am disorder' - even as she probes, 'How familiar are you?' He answers with a manifesto of return rather than escape: 'I have been searching through the universe, leaving the pressure of this world behind ... I have my vehicle for travel,' but 'instead of asking God to take you beyond ... I am screaming to come back; to be hurried in the core of life, Even war, any-' (breaking off mid-page). The visionary's real direction is back into the world's pressure, not out of it. The heavily struck opening was excluded as canceled.
