Then it was past.
What was passed? Quentin's episode of madness? The thought of someone playing (an instrument) possibly at Caddy's wedding? His vexation at people eating on the interurban?
"Stomach saying noon brain saying eat". Quentin's curse is time. It is his intellectual despair. It is not how a normal person measures time with a watch. Quentin measures time by the loud tick of his pocket watch.
He feels noon? Why? The sun has reached its zenith; the stomach rumbles.
