Sorry I realize that I pointed to the problem but forgot the solution.
If you want to place the paragraphs side by side you should probably
separate them in 2 columns using the | symbol, like this:

@Text @Begin
    @Lorem |0.2i
    @Lorem
@End @Text


The newline you put between the 2 invocations of @Lorem is ignored by
Lout, as it should, so if you want them below each other, you should
use /, as in:


@Text @Begin
    @Lorem /
    @Lorem
@End @Text


Although in that case you are probably making your life difficult for no
reason.

You can also combine / and | to have any arrangement you fancy. The
trick is to @I{define the space available} to the object before you try
to put it there. Otherwise Lout will try to put 2 full-width objects
side by side, which obviously won't work.
