page 81  In the final words, which sound like an anguished lament, Syd is living and giving, but when he is trying he specifies "to find you". The philosophical meanings can somehow break out. For what it's worth, the method used previously shows that the now-familiar Bigney may be the only one of the listed writers who wrote something particularly about "to be found", apart from Prichard's sought-after opal.  
 * I left the field,

Sad, broken down in body as in mind, Seeking relief; but still, I failed to find
 * Aught which could yield

The balm of quiet to my troubled soul, Which, like the ocean, heaves with ceaseless roll. 
 * I've sought for peace

In distant lands and gay exotic climes; And revelry I’ve witnessed, sports, and crimes, …
 * — Mark F. Bigney, "The Lament"

Kafka's castle as described by Camus, in an essay added to his Myth of Sisyphus, has something between Ibanez's tower and this search for relief in Bigney:  Kafka is named Land Surveyor to the Castle and he arrives in the village. But from the village to the Castle it is impossible to communicate. … In The Castle that surrender to the everyday becomes an ethic. The great hope of Kafka is to get the Castle to adopt him. Unable to achieve this alone, his whole effort is to deserve this favor by becoming an inhabitant of the village, by losing the status of foreigner that everyone makes him feel. What he wants is an occupation, a home, the life of a healthy, normal man. He can’t stand his madness any longer. He wants to be reasonable. He wants to cast off the peculiar curse that makes him a stranger to the village. — Albert Camus, "Hope and the Absurd in the Work of Franz Kafka"  sources → Bigney, Mark Frederick. "The Lament."
