The pencil is now almost one inch above the paper. The pencil is now no distance at all from the flat surface of the paper. The pencil is now three inches from the left side of the paper. The pencil is now six inches from the top edge of the paper. The point of the pencil is now a very slight height from the surface of the paper as it moves from word end to sentence end, to punctuation start and end, to word and sentence start. The pencil is now at a great height above the paper. The pencil is now on the table the paper is on (on top of the paper, on top of the table) then suddenly it is on top of the table yet somewhat to the side of the surface of the paper. (It “rolls” from the table to its edge; from the table’s edge to the air; then from that point in the air to a point in the air further down in it, “falling.”)
Now the pencil is three feet from the floor. Now the pencil is ten inches from the floor. Now the start, the point, of the pencil, is two inches from the surface of the floor, while the end, rear, back, of the pencil (eraser of the pencil) is three to four inches from a nearby point on the floor. Now the pencil point is on the floor and the pencil end is nearly on the floor; and now it, too, the pencil end, is there, on the floor, and skips or hops upon impact.
The pencil, composed of points from end to end, in perfect alignment with itself, “rolls” at that time. Then at one point upon the floor, one point along the pencil stops, while all the other pencil points continue rolling, then these too come to a stop. The pencil itself is a line of points, which will drop out through its chief point or “tip”, is a thought conceived at that time. The tip, the “chief point”, allows the other points to escape from its end, from its “mouth”, it’s further conceived, though a little bit later than that. The time of the occurrence of the first conception being a point in time “somewhat to the right” of the time of the occurrence of the second conception, it is thought. (The conception seems to fall “further down” into some not really understood medium of thought, just as the pencil, moment’s before, had fallen “further down” through some basically understood medium of Space, the medium of air, it’s thought at still a third moment in time, a moment occurring “still more to the right” than those of the occurrence of the other two conceptions. It’s thought that just as the conception and pencil could be compared as types of falling objects, so could the paper and the flooring be compared as types of things that objects will fall upon).
