AI Interpretation
Within the flight, color, silence, and circular law become a new sensorium that pulls Animal beyond ordinary judgment.
The page is less narrative than perceptual. It tracks a change in how the sun and body correspond, as if reality is being rewritten through motion, concentration, and immersion in luminous form. The lasso image at the end turns the sun from a stable law into something suddenly active and descending.
The sound of 'booms' lets him judge 'the outwardness of appearance,' as if 'the hour glass might be switched for a new recording of time by a hand' outside 'the duality of a universe.' Snapped 'back up face against the sun,' his 'psychic' gains 'an aliveness to the sun's immense intensity,' and 'Sensations of new existance' become 'his immediate goal for life.' The sun shimmers and sways 'in and out of hour glass form' in motion 'mutual' with his body, until it spins 'like the shape of a lasso' and descends.
