AI Interpretation
Under ganon, three handwritten lines compare blindness with bats in light and say that the wind does not tempt but gives attention to our exits.
The shorter handwritten fragment survives below a canceled typed draft. Its heading and the meaning of exits remain uncertain. The transcript does not join the canceled text into the reading.
A typed heading 'ganon' over a draft cancelled with a large X, followed by a handwritten rewrite: 'BLind As bats iN Light / ThE wiNd doEs Not tEMpt / yEt it givEs AttENtioN to our Exits'.
The rewrite compresses the cancelled draft into three lines about blindness and departure; the heading is a provisional reading.
