From the second version of the Wycliffe Bible (ca. 1402), Lamentations 3:19, 29:

Zai.  Haue thou mynde on my pouert and goyng ouer.            

Joth.  He schal sette his mouth in dust, if perauenture hope is.

Badly lit, interiorized, atomized, fragmentary, mumbled, private and unclear: focused intently on the minor detail and on marginal, intermittently audible pressures.
