On Idleness and Grief

Final

Lyric

The final lyric page's lines are bounded by a handrawn line. Marginalia is written up and down rather than across the page. Perpendicular instead of parralel, the lines and annotations are further seperated by a dividing line.

Act I's illustration is an isolated shaded human figure on a white blank page. Act I is written below this legless, handless human figure. Clothed and shaded in hues of grey, the singular figure is sketched with hatched and outlined lines. Unlike the lyric page, the illustration does not have boundry lines seperating the marginilia from the text. In fact, the illustration is without annotations. The fluidity of creative revision processes, also, relates the isolated illustration on the unbounded page to the final lyric page that has a boundry line drawn between the handwritten words and the sidelined annotations.
