Mr Beckett first(?) mentions white, and, "schimmel"

I found in Beckett's "from an abandonded work"(1956) what may be his first declaration re: his propensity for white, which we shall see later in works like ping, lessness etc

plus, I received confirmation of meaning of schimmel from an actual german person. Interestingly, the origin derives from the word for "mould" as in the whiteish stuff grows on decaying things,

and I was reminded at the same time halllejuhah of a j-pop video that seemed to express the same thing - she paints the world white. It is not the full video, in case you don't like it. It is the voice actress of Madoka from you know . . . .

so first the quote]

next the video:
