Figure

Telemachus

kind: legendary
kept on the legendary shelf; the biographer himself shelved him beside the kings
10 mentions across 10 episodes of the record — counted by the house’s first pass receipt — the figure shelf, first pass receipt — the curator’s pass

The regnal line — the editor’s table of years, never the record’s voice

The editor’s table of years hangs in this house, but this life is not yet pinned to it. Until it is, the when is a label, not a shelf.
