The narrator recalls Old Mike's way of speaking and a book named A Drunk Man Looks At The Thistle. Separate handwritten lines link Romantic Sun and Gothic Moon and mention an anarchist and land in loam.
The narrator says a later reading helped them understand language they had trouble hearing. The handwritten Sun and Moon heading repeats celestial terms from nearby drafts. Faint ink leaves its exact case and attachment provisional.
Typed prose: 'Old Mike told a story too', a Scot whose language 'seeped though through his power', linked to 'A Drunk Man Looks At The / Thistle'. Below, cursive reads 'From Romantic Sun to Gothic / MooN' and 'There is ANarchist man of / land in Loam...'.
The page connects Old Mike's dialect to a Scottish poem and to the anarchist figure; the cursive heading is a provisional reading.
