time. Now able to see the man turns eastward to face a blank wall. This appears to be another nightly ritual. The wall that the man stands before used to be “covered with pictures” of once “loved ones” (an expression he doggedly avoids saying as Beckett employs ellipses each time this phrase is uttered, forcing the character to interrupt himself immediately after each utterance). He looks at specific marks left on the wall and remembers a photo of his father, one of his mother, one of them on their wedding day – Perhaps what he refers to right before the end as “the dead and gone” – and one of “He alone” which is likely one of himself – yet another, with his parents and possibly others of “the dying and the going.” These pictures have been “ripped from the wall and torn to shreds” though not in a single emotional scene, as with the character O in Film, but rather over a period of time and then swept “under the bed with the dust and spiders.” (Beckett manages to create a sense of their presence haunting the room. This seems increasingly likely as ghosts are mentioned in a sequence of lines leading to the closing section of the play.) Speaker then recalls the "Room once full of sounds. Faint sounds. Fewer and fainter as time wore on." He links this to recollections of rain, which is falling at that moment as he states: "Rain some nights still slant against the panes. Even now." Rain is further utilized in funeral sequences to come. The Speaker describes going to the window and lighting the lamp again in a truncated variation. For the third lamp-lighting a single lighted spill (a slender piece of wood or of twisted paper, for lighting lamps, etc.) is used rather than matches. An additional element is added with disappearing and reappearing hands and the globe. (Perhaps this is evocative a magic trick? A disappearing act as if one more verging on death?) Later follows the final mention of lighting the lamp with the aforementioned final, single-word variation "lights." The action at an open grave is recalled in a series of variations and narrated in cinematic terms: “Umbrellas round a grave. Seen from above … Thirty seconds … Then fade.” The funeral is taking place in the pouring rain. The man describes watching someone speak at the graveside
