I have recently begun to show the Theological aspect of Beckett's literature and I have come across his last work which is a short crafty poem. In the Gospel of John, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God." Similarly Christ once said that "The spirit of God is within you." If you were to juxtapose 'God' with 'What', and he were as Christ said 'within you'; Maybe you would get something like this?
