22 | _Apparently typewriters need ribbon. | ||
23 | Apparently ribbon is incredibly hard to find anymore because no one uses typewriters. | ||
24 | Apparently I am writing my hymns from now on._ | ||
25 | So he was back to calling his notes "hymns." | ||
26 | He looked up "hymns" in the dictionary. | ||
27 | It said that a hymn was "an ode or song of praise or adoration." | ||
28 | Praise or adoration to what? he asked himself. | ||
29 | He thought maybe furniture. | ||
30 | There was still a lot of notfurniture in what he was again calling his Writing Shack. | ||
31 | |||
32 | The dictionary also had this to say about "hymn": that it was possibly related to the old Greek word for "[weave][]." | ||
33 | "[Weave what][]" Paul wondered to himself. | ||
34 | He wrote this down on a new notecard. | ||
35 | _Apparently "hymn" means weave somehow. | ||
36 | Or it used to. | ||
37 | Or its cousin did. | ||
38 | What is it weaving? | ||
39 | Who is it weaving for? | ||
40 | I remember in school we talked about Odysseus and his wife Penelope, who wove a tapestry every day just to take it apart at night. | ||
41 | I forget why._ | ||
42 | |||
43 | _Maybe she wove the tapestry for Odysseus. | ||
44 | Maybe she wove it for herself. | ||
45 | What did she weave it of? | ||
46 | [Memory][], maybe? | ||
47 | [Or dream][]? | ||
48 | I think these words make a kind of tapestry, or at least the thread it will be made of. | ||
49 | I will weave a hymn to the gods of Literature, out of fiction. | ||
50 | My furniture was a try at weaving, but I am shit at furniture. | ||
51 | So writing it is again._ | ||
52 | |||
53 | He wrote _**NOTES FOR A HYMN**_ at the top of this notecard. | ||
