something about the last samurai reminds me of gerald murnane, the plains, the inland sea, the sea of grass, oh well, i can't explain, the words most used
for want.
it's embarrassing,
you want to be intelligible you want to trust yourself
you should be silent
you should just return the book 
and let nature run its course.
you don't have to know the story to be in the story,
even unmeasured things are precise.
