Page 51

A single stopped motion down the cliffs gives the page the feel of a halted scene or memory fragment.

The line is too short to force into a larger argument, but it already has momentum and interruption built into it. That abrupt stop is the page's meaning: movement is registered only at the moment it breaks.

Three lines. Lightly down the cliffs, I stopped. A fragment whose main work is rhythm, a pause in the cliff walk scene that returns across the book.
