Subject: Beckett's long sonata Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2003 12:04:50 +0100 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Dear friends, Could anybody tell me where I find this famous passage in Beckett. Just the title would help. It sounds like Malone Dies or The Unnamable or is it Worstward Ho?: "All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead." Best wishes John ************************************************************ JOHN THOBO-CARLSEN Associate Professor, Ph.D. Institute of Literature, Culture and Media Department of Literature and Semiotics University of Southern Denmark Main Campus: Odense University Campusvej 55, DK-5230 Odense M, Denmark Tel. +45 6550 3286 Home: +45 6614 6568 Fax +45 6593 1968.

Dear friends,

Could anybody tell me where I find this famous passage in Beckett. Just the title would help. It sounds like Malone Dies or The Unnamable or is it Worstward Ho?:

"All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead."

Best wishes

John
