Arty Zine - Words used for Background and Center

There are a couple of paragraphs somewhere in the book titled 'All the Beauty in the World' that the background writing in this zine is a handwritten copy of.  You wouldn't know that to look at it, and that is intentional.  The idea was to have a fully handwritten page of text that has no spacing (other than between lines), no punctuation, and is continuous (line by line).

Once done, using what I thought might be a contrasting watercolor paper pattern -- rectangles of it were added to the center of each zine page.  There wasn't enough contrast though.  So, smaller black rectangles were also added.  

For what was to go in those black rectangles, I had no idea.  After thinking about it, I decided against quotes and stopped thinking further on it.  Sometime later, the word 'repeat' came to mind, and I thought that would be perfect because each page looks SO similar.  The words you see (aside from 'repeat), are synonyms except for 're-turn'.  The latter seemed like a clever end page to suggest to a viewer to turn the zine over -- that would take one back to the beginning.  Whether that is how it works, it may or may not.  

All that said, I like the zine concept.  If I was to do it again, I'd do the writing after making one fold of the 8.5"x11" paper in a horizontal orientation.  I'd do the writing from the fold downward to the bottom edge (on each side).  That way, the zine - once folded into an 8-page zine - would be able to open from the right side rather than from the bottom.  The way this one was done was to write on the full 8.5"x11" paper in a vertical orientation.
