Page 8

The page sketches a mystical inner descent that ends in readiness to drift or rise free of weight.

The motion is inward first, `seeking through herself`, and only then outward into `floating.` The contrast between `sweet yet / solid` keeps the figure from becoming vague; the mystic is grounded before release, now more explicitly `to be ready` than to begin getting ready.

Five clean lines describing a woman who 'played the depths / seeking through herself / As A mystic, sweet yet / solid About to be ready / for floating.' The movement runs inward before it lifts: the descent into self is the precondition for release, and 'sweet yet / solid' anchors the mystic so the closing 'floating' reads as earned buoyancy rather than vagueness. A high-confidence, finished fragment.
