Above is a link to a sight which contains a rather short and mechanical prose by Beckett which gives a description of a character, which shares similarities with another Beckett character called 'Clov' in Endgame. It is my belief that the title Lessness and certain things attributed to the character, such as 'only upright' qualify him with comparison to "The Abomination of Desolation, standing where it ought not." - Jesus Christ

After all what if a person was allowed to actually feel inside of himself the consequence of desolation ever increasing. Would it not feel like some sort of lessening or and increasing emptiness?
