1. Telemachus

[2] Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of

[15] awaking mountains. Then, catching sight of Stephen Dedalus, he bent

[18] his arms on the top of the staircase and looked coldly at the shaking

[33] He peered sideways up and gave a long slow whistle of call, then paused

[42] about his legs the loose folds of his gown. The plump shadowed face and

[43] sullen oval jowl recalled a prelate, patron of arts in the middle ages.

[46] —The mockery of it! he said gaily. Your absurd name, an ancient Greek!

[50] halfway and sat down on the edge of the gunrest, watching him still as

[101] —Lend us a loan of your noserag to wipe my razor.

[142] mummer of them all!

[147] his brow and gazed at the fraying edge of his shiny black coat-sleeve.

[148] Pain, that was not yet the pain of love, fretted his heart. Silently, in

[150] loose brown graveclothes giving off an odour of wax and rosewood, her

[151] breath, that had bent upon him, mute, reproachful, a faint odour of

[153] great sweet mother by the wellfed voice beside him. The ring of bay

[154] and skyline held a dull green mass of liquid. A bowl of white china had

[156] torn up from her rotting liver by fits of loud groaning vomiting.

[167] —The mockery of it, he said contentedly. Secondleg they should be. God

[178] He folded his razor neatly and with stroking palps of fingers felt the

[186] General paralysis of the insane!

[190] the edges of his white glittering teeth. Laughter seized all his strong

[197] face for me? This dogsbody to rid of vermin. It asks me too.

[199] —I pinched it out of the skivvy’s room, Buck Mulligan said. It does

[211] —It is a symbol of Irish art. The cracked lookingglass of a servant.

[218] God knows you have more spirit than any of them.

[220] Parried again. He fears the lancet of my art as I fear that of his. The

[223] —Cracked lookingglass of a servant! Tell that to the oxy chap

[232] —And to think of your having to beg from these swine. I’m the only

[238] Young shouts of moneyed voices in Clive Kempthorpe’s rooms. Palefaces:

[241] ribbons of his shirt whipping the air he hops and hobbles round the

[242] table, with trousers down at heels, chased by Ades of Magdalen with

[248] on the sombre lawn watching narrowly the dancing motes of grasshalms.

[258] They halted, looking towards the blunt cape of Bray Head that lay on the

[259] water like the snout of a sleeping whale. Stephen freed his arm quietly.

[266] fanning softly his fair uncombed hair and stirring silver points of

[277] sensations. Why? What happened in the name of God?

[280] get more hot water. Your mother and some visitor came out of the

[306] I didn’t mean to offend the memory of your mother.

[311] —I am not thinking of the offence to my mother.

[313] —Of what then? Buck Mulligan asked.

[315] —Of the offence to me, Stephen answered.

[324] the fever of his cheeks.

[337] His head halted again for a moment at the top of the staircase, level

[343] His head vanished but the drone of his descending voice boomed out of

[350] stairhead seaward where he gazed. Inshore and farther out the mirror of

[351] water whitened, spurned by lightshod hurrying feet. White breast of

[357] deeper green. It lay beneath him, a bowl of bitter waters. Fergus’

[366] a gaud of amber beads in her locked drawer. A birdcage hung in the sunny

[367] window of her house when she was a girl. She heard old Royce sing in the

[368] pantomime of Turko the Terrible and laughed with others when he sang:

[377] Folded away in the memory of nature with her toys. Memories beset his

[378] brooding brain. Her glass of water from the kitchen tap when she had

[381] fingernails reddened by the blood of squashed lice from the children’s

[385] loose graveclothes giving off an odour of wax and rosewood, her breath,

[386] bent over him with mute secret words, a faint odour of wetted ashes.

[388] Her glazing eyes, staring out of death, to shake and bend my soul. On me

[394] Ghoul! Chewer of corpses!

[415] —I told him your symbol of Irish art. He says it’s very clever.

[428] He flung up his hands and tramped down the stone stairs, singing out of

[442] smelling the clammy slaver of the lather in which the brush was stuck.

[443] So I carried the boat of incense then at Clongowes. I am another now and

[444] yet the same. A servant too. A server of a servant.

[446] In the gloomy domed livingroom of the tower Buck Mulligan’s gowned

[448] yellow glow. Two shafts of soft daylight fell across the flagged floor

[449] from the high barbacans: and at the meeting of their rays a cloud of

[450] coalsmoke and fumes of fried grease floated, turning.

[481] Stephen fetched the loaf and the pot of honey and the buttercooler from

[484] —What sort of a kip is this? he said. I told her to come after eight.

[496] —The blessings of God on you! Buck Mulligan cried, jumping up from his

[523] He lunged towards his messmates in turn a thick slice of bread, impaled

[527] lines of text and ten pages of notes about the folk and the fishgods of

[528] Dundrum. Printed by the weird sisters in the year of the big wind.

[534] spoken of in the Mabinogion or is it in the Upanishads?

[540] —I fancy, Stephen said as he ate, it did not exist in or out of the

[541] Mabinogion. Mother Grogan was, one imagines, a kinswoman of Mary Ann.

[570] —The islanders, Mulligan said to Haines casually, speak frequently of

[571] the collector of prepuces.

[580] a messenger. She praised the goodness of the milk, pouring it out.

[583] about her whom they knew, dewsilky cattle. Silk of the kine and poor old

[584] woman, names given her in old times. A wandering crone, lowly form of

[622] —I thought it was Irish, she said, by the sound of it. Are you from

[637] —No, thank you, sir, the old woman said, slipping the ring of the

[657] Stephen filled a third cup, a spoonful of tea colouring faintly the

[665] —Ask nothing more of me, sweet. All I can give you I give.

[676] —Heart of my heart, were it more,

[695] —The unclean bard makes a point of washing once a month.

[698] trickle over a slice of the loaf.

[701] loose collar of his tennis shirt spoke:

[703] —I intend to make a collection of your sayings if you will let me.

[705] Speaking to me. They wash and tub and scrub. Agenbite of inwit.

[708] —That one about the cracked lookingglass of a servant being the symbol

[709] of Irish art is deuced good.

[712] warmth of tone:

[717] thinking of it when that poor old creature came in.

[721] Haines laughed and, as he took his soft grey hat from the holdfast of

[747] all. Let us get out of the kip.

[749] He stood up, gravely ungirdled and disrobed himself of his gown, saying

[752] —Mulligan is stripped of his garments.

[763] contradict myself. Mercurial Malachi. A limp black missile flew out of

[783] At the foot of the ladder Buck Mulligan asked:

[790] bathtowel the leader shoots of ferns or grasses.

[800] —To the secretary of state for war, Stephen added over his shoulder.

[809] —What is your idea of Hamlet? Haines asked Stephen.

[815] He turned to Stephen, saying, as he pulled down neatly the peaks of his

[824] —Pooh! Buck Mulligan said. We have grown out of Wilde and paradoxes.

[826] Shakespeare’s grandfather and that he himself is the ghost of his own

[858] —I read a theological interpretation of it somewhere, he said bemused.

[865] a doll’s head to and fro, the brims of his Panama hat quivering, and

[872] He held up a forefinger of warning.

[879] forward to a brow of the cliff, fluttered his hands at his sides like

[880] fins or wings of one about to rise in the air, and chanted:

[895] out of it somehow, doesn’t it? What did he call it? Joseph the Joiner?

[897] —The ballad of joking Jesus, Stephen answered.

[904] the narrow sense of the word. Creation from nothing and miracles and a

[907] —There’s only one sense of the word, it seems to me, Stephen said.

[917] towards Stephen in the shell of his hands.

[919] —Yes, of course, he said, as they went on again. Either you believe or

[920] you don’t, isn’t it? Personally I couldn’t stomach that idea of a

[924] example of free thought.

[942] —I am a servant of two masters, Stephen said, an English and an

[956] Haines detached from his underlip some fibres of tobacco before he

[963] The proud potent titles clanged over Stephen’s memory the triumph of

[965] the slow growth and change of rite and dogma like his own rare thoughts,

[966] a chemistry of stars. Symbol of the apostles in the mass for pope

[968] behind their chant the vigilant angel of the church militant disarmed

[969] and menaced her heresiarchs. A horde of heresies fleeing with mitres

[970] awry: Photius and the brood of mockers of whom Mulligan was one, and

[971] Arius, warring his life long upon the consubstantiality of the Son with

[977] of the church, Michael’s host, who defend her ever in the hour of

[982] —Of course I’m a Britisher, Haines’s voice said, and I feel as

[983] one. I don’t want to see my country fall into the hands of German jews

[986] Two men stood at the verge of the cliff, watching: businessman, boatman.

[990] The boatman nodded towards the north of the bay with some disdain.

[1001] A young man clinging to a spur of rock near him, moved slowly frogwise

[1002] his green legs in the deep jelly of the water.

[1014] the spur of rock a blowing red face. He scrambled up by the stones,

[1015] water glistening on his pate and on its garland of grey hair, water

[1016] rilling over his chest and paunch and spilling jets out of his black

[1024] of rock. Chucked medicine and going in for the army.

[1051] He struggled out of his shirt and flung it behind him to where his

[1059] the middle of the creek in two long clean strokes. Haines sat down on a

[1088] Horn of a bull, hoof of a horse, smile of a Saxon.

2. Nestor

[1127] Fabled by the daughters of memory. And yet it was in some way if not as

[1128] memory fabled it. A phrase, then, of impatience, thud of Blake’s wings

[1129] of excess. I hear the ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppling

[1139] That phrase the world had remembered. A dull ease of the mind. From

[1143] —You, Armstrong, Stephen said. What was the end of Pyrrhus?

[1145] —End of Pyrrhus, sir?

[1151] A bag of figrolls lay snugly in Armstrong’s satchel. He curled them

[1153] to the tissue of his lips. A sweetened boy’s breath. Welloff people,

[1160] more loudly, aware of my lack of rule and of the fees their papas pay.

[1165] —A pier, sir, Armstrong said. A thing out in the water. A kind of a

[1181] drink and talk, to pierce the polished mail of his mind. What then? A

[1182] jester at the court of his master, indulged and disesteemed, winning a

[1189] branded them and fettered they are lodged in the room of the infinite

[1192] Weave, weaver of the wind.

[1214] It must be a movement then, an actuality of the possible as possible.

[1216] out into the studious silence of the library of Saint Genevieve where he

[1217] had read, sheltered from the sin of Paris, night by night. By his elbow

[1218] a delicate Siamese conned a handbook of strategy. Fed and feeding brains

[1220] in my mind’s darkness a sloth of the underworld, reluctant, shy of

[1221] brightness, shifting her dragon scaly folds. Thought is the thought of

[1223] soul is the form of forms. Tranquility sudden, vast, candescent: form of

[1328] bestrode. She was no more: the trembling skeleton of a twig burnt in

[1329] the fire, an odour of rosewood and wetted ashes. She had saved him from

[1332] of rapine in his fur, with merciless bright eyes scraped in the earth,

[1340] Across the page the symbols moved in grave morrice, in the mummery of

[1341] their letters, wearing quaint caps of squares and cubes. Give hands,

[1342] traverse, bow to partner: so: imps of fancy of the Moors. Gone too from

[1353] of shame flickering behind his dull skin. Amor matris: subjective and

[1402] round him, the garish sunshine bleaching the honey of his illdyed head.

[1404] Stale smoky air hung in the study with the smell of drab abraded leather

[1405] of its chairs. As on the first day he bargained with me here. As it was

[1406] in the beginning, is now. On the sideboard the tray of Stuart coins,

[1553] around the walls images of vanished horses stood in homage, their

[1554] meek heads poised in air: lord Hastings’ Repulse, the duke of

[1555] Westminster’s Shotover, the duke of Beaufort’s Ceylon, prix de

[1556] Paris, 1866. Elfin riders sat them, watchful of a sign. He saw their

[1557] speeds, backing king’s colours, and shouted with the shouts of

[1575] Jousts, slush and uproar of battles, the frozen deathspew of the slain,

[1586] May I trespass on your valuable space. That doctrine of laissez faire

[1587] which so often in our history. Our cattle trade. The way of all our old

[1589] European conflagration. Grain supplies through the narrow waters of

[1590] the channel. The pluterperfect imperturbability of the department of

[1597] virus. Percentage of salted horses. Rinderpest. Emperor’s horses at

[1599] Courteous offer a fair trial. Dictates of common sense. Allimportant

[1600] question. In every sense of the word take the bull by the horns.

[1601] Thanking you for the hospitality of your columns.

[1638] prices on their gemmed fingers. Gabble of geese. They swarmed loud,

[1645] years of wandering and, patient, knew the dishonours of their flesh.

[1660] —The ways of the Creator are not our ways, Mr Deasy said. All human

[1661] history moves towards one great goal, the manifestation of God.

[1761] rattling chain of phlegm. He turned back quickly, coughing, laughing,

[1878] common searches and a writ of Duces Tecum. A bogoak frame over his bald

[1919] them, Stephen. Beauty is not there. Nor in the stagnant bay of Marsh’s

[1920] library where you read the fading prophecies of Joachim Abbas. For whom?

[1921] The hundredheaded rabble of the cathedral close. A hater of his kind

[1922] ran from them to the wood of madness, his mane foaming in the moon,

[1969] upward sewage breath, a pocket of seaweed smouldered in seafire under a

[1970] midden of man’s ashes. He coasted them, walking warily. A porterbottle

[1972] isle of dreadful thirst. Broken hoops on the shore; at the land a maze

[1973] of dark cunning nets; farther away chalkscrawled backdoors and on the

[2046] kerchiefed housewife is astir, a saucer of acetic acid in her hand.

[2048] shattering with gold teeth chaussons of pastry, their mouths yellowed

[2049] with the pus of flan bréton. Faces of Paris men go by, their

[2109] The new air greeted him, harping in wild nerves, wind of wild air of

[2110] seeds of brightness. Here, I am not walking out to the Kish lightship,

[2115] in new sockets. The cold domed room of the tower waits. Through the

[2116] barbacans the shafts of light are moving ever, slowly ever as my

[2118] nightfall, deep blue night. In the darkness of the dome they wait,

[2119] their pushedback chairs, my obelisk valise, around a board of abandoned

[2121] this night comes. A shut door of a silent tower, entombing their blind

[2123] feet up from the suck and turned back by the mole of boulders. Take

[2124] all, keep all. My soul walks with me, form of forms. So in the moon’s

[2201] as they came towards the drier sand, a rag of wolf’s tongue redpanting

[2202] from his jaws. His speckled body ambled ahead of them and then loped off

[2209] —Tatters! Out of that, you mongrel!

[2271] Turning his back to the sun he bent over far to a table of rock and

[2278] with his augur’s rod of ash, in borrowed sandals, by day beside a

[2283] Somewhere to someone in your flutiest voice. The good bishop of Cloyne

[2515] He crossed to the bright side, avoiding the loose cellarflap of number

[2516] seventyfive. The sun was nearing the steeple of George’s church. Be a

[2527] through awned streets. Turbaned faces going by. Dark caves of carpet

[2532] pillars: priest with a scroll rolled up. A shiver of the trees, signal,

[2535] High wall: beyond strings twanged. Night sky, moon, violet, colour of

[2536] Molly’s new garters. Strings. Listen. A girl playing one of those

[2603] No followers allowed. Strong pair of arms. Whacking a carpet on the

[2666] You pay eighty marks and they plant a dunam of land for you with olives,

[2668] irrigation. Every year you get a sending of the crop. Your name entered

[2669] for life as owner in the book of the union. Can pay ten down and the

[2687] in soiled dungarees. There’s whatdoyoucallhim out of. How do you?

[2688] Doesn’t see. Chap you know just to salute bit of a bore. His back

[2715] the gentle smoke of tea, fume of the pan, sizzling butter. Be near her

[2738] He laid her card and letter on the twill bedspread near the curve of her

[2760] linen: and lifted all in an armful on to the foot of the bed.

[2770] On the boil sure enough: a plume of steam from the spout. He scalded and

[2771] rinsed out the teapot and put in four full spoons of tea, tilting the

[2774] of butter slide and melt. While he unwrapped the kidney the cat mewed

[2787] of folded brown paper in the letterbox for her. He smiled, pouring.

[2980] Hurry. Piano downstairs. Coming out of her shell. Row with her in the

[2982] Saucebox. He sopped other dies of bread in the gravy and ate piece after

[3008] Reading, lying back now, counting the strands of her hair, smiling,

[3027] He felt heavy, full: then a gentle loosening of his bowels. He stood up,

[3028] undoing the waistband of his trousers. The cat mewed to him.

[3038] In the tabledrawer he found an old number of Titbits. He folded it under

[3132] A creak and a dark whirr in the air high up. The bells of George’s

5. Lotus Eaters

[3153] He turned from the morning noises of the quayside and walked through

[3155] bucket of offal linked, smoking a chewed fagbutt. A smaller girl

[3156] with scars of eczema on her forehead eyed him, listlessly holding her

[3158] life isn’t such a bed of roses. Waiting outside pubs to bring da

[3160] Townsend street, passed the frowning face of Bethel. El, yes: house of:

[3181] blend, made of the finest Ceylon brands. The far east. Lovely spot it

[3182] must be: the garden of the world, big lazy leaves to float about on,

[3185] doing a hand’s turn all day. Sleep six months out of twelve. Too hot

[3186] to quarrel. Influence of the climate. Lethargy. Flowers of idleness. The

[3192] so thick with salt. Because the weight of the water, no, the weight of

[3193] the body in the water is equal to the weight of the what? Or is it the

[3197] weight? Thirtytwo feet per second per second. Law of falling bodies: per

[3199] force of gravity of the earth is the weight.

[3206] it means. From the curbstone he darted a keen glance through the door of

[3214] poster with soldiers of all arms on parade: and held the tip of his

[3236] He strolled out of the postoffice and turned to the right. Talk: as if

[3238] felt its way under the flap of the envelope, ripping it open in jerks.

[3239] Women will pay a lot of heed, I don’t think. His fingers drew forth

[3243] M’Coy. Get rid of him quickly. Take me out of my way. Hate company

[3274] of the Grosvenor. The porter hoisted the valise up on the well. She

[3276] searched his pockets for change. Stylish kind of coat with that roll

[3278] stand of her with her hands in those patch pockets. Like that haughty

[3282] out of her.

[3284] —I was with Bob Doran, he’s on one of his periodical bends, and what

[3291] perhaps. Talking of one thing or another. Lady’s hand. Which side will

[3330] gloved hand on the steel grip. Flicker, flicker: the laceflare of her

[3366] —It’s a kind of a tour, don’t you see, Mr Bloom said thoughtfully.

[3397] his for the Wicklow regatta concert last year and never heard tidings of

[3416] suicide. Poor papa! How he used to talk of Kate Bateman in that. Outside

[3423] Nathan’s voice! His son’s voice! I hear the voice of Nathan who left

[3424] his father to die of grief and misery in my arms, who left the house of

[3425] his father and left the God of his father.

[3433] Mr Bloom went round the corner and passed the drooping nags of the

[3434] hazard. No use thinking of it any more. Nosebag time. Wish I hadn’t

[3437] He came nearer and heard a crunching of gilded oats, the gently champing

[3439] oaten reek of horsepiss. Their Eldorado. Poor jugginses! Damn all they

[3476] what is the real meaning of that word? Are you not happy in your home

[3478] Please tell me what you think of poor me. I often think of the beautiful

[3490] P. S. Do tell me what kind of perfume does your wife use. I want to

[3504] wrote it herself. Doing the indignant: a girl of good family like me,

[3508] further next time. Naughty boy: punish: afraid of words, of course.

[3511] Fingering still the letter in his pocket he drew the pin out of it.

[3512] Common pin, eh? He threw it on the road. Out of her clothes somewhere:

[3513] pinned together. Queer the number of pins they always have. No roses

[3519] O, Mairy lost the pin of her drawers.

[3533] Nice kind of evening feeling. No more wandering about. Just loll there:

[3536] fruit, olives, lovely cool water out of a well, stonecold like the hole

[3546] same way. Simple bit of paper. Lord Iveagh once cashed a sevenfigure

[3547] cheque for a million in the bank of Ireland. Shows you the money to be

[3548] made out of porter. Still the other brother lord Ardilaun has to change

[3551] eightpence a gallon of porter, no, one and fourpence a gallon of porter.

[3553] of barrels of porter.

[3609] sort of bread: unleavened shewbread. Look at them. Now I bet it makes

[3610] them feel happy. Lollipop. It does. Yes, bread of angels it’s called.

[3611] There’s a big idea behind it, kind of kingdom of God is within you

[3623] affair he had on. Suppose he lost the pin of his. He wouldn’t know

[3634] thinking of. Denis Carey. And just imagine that. Wife and six children

[3637] about them. They’re not straight men of business either. O, no,

[3676] up at the gospel of course. Then all settled down on their knees again

[3700] Masses for the repose of my soul to be said publicly with open doors.

[3703] Liberty and exaltation of our holy mother the church. The doctors of the

[3704] church: they mapped out the whole theology of it.

[3708] —Blessed Michael, archangel, defend us in the hour of conflict. Be

[3709] our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil (may God

[3710] restrain him, we humbly pray!): and do thou, O prince of the heavenly

[3711] host, by the power of God thrust Satan down to hell and with him those

[3712] other wicked spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

[3720] He stood up. Hello. Were those two buttons of my waistcoat open all the

[3762] He waited by the counter, inhaling slowly the keen reek of drugs, the

[3763] dusty dry smell of sponges and loofahs. Lot of time taken up telling

[3766] —Sweet almond oil and tincture of benzoin, Mr Bloom said, and then

[3773] Brings out the darkness of her eyes. Looking at me, the sheet up to

[3777] Skinfood. One of the old queen’s sons, duke of Albany was it? had only

[3804] He strolled out of the shop, the newspaper baton under his armpit, the

[3824] the paper and get shut of him.

[3848] in it, smiling. Silly lips of that chap. Betting. Regular hotbed of it

[3852] They never come back. Fleshpots of Egypt.

[3854] He walked cheerfully towards the mosque of the baths. Remind you of a

[3856] eyed the horseshoe poster over the gate of college park: cyclist doubled

[3870] floor. Heatwave. Won’t last. Always passing, the stream of life, which

[3871] in the stream of life we trace is dearer than them all.

[3873] Enjoy a bath now: clean trough of water, cool enamel, the gentle tepid

[3876] He foresaw his pale body reclined in it at full, naked, in a womb of

[3879] lemonyellow: his navel, bud of flesh: and saw the dark tangled curls of

[3880] his bush floating, floating hair of the stream around the limp father of

[3955] The carriage, passing the open drains and mounds of rippedup roadway

[3966] of dung, the wise child that knows her own father.

[3975] Beginning to tell on him now: that backache of his, I fear. Wife ironing

[3981] stinks all over Dublin. But with the help of God and His blessed mother

[3982] I’ll make it my business to write a letter one of those days to his

[3986] He cried above the clatter of the wheels:

[3988] —I won’t have her bastard of a nephew ruin my son. A

[3994] Noisy selfwilled man. Full of his son. He is right. Something to hand

[3999] at it by the wall of the cease to do evil. And the sergeant grinning up.

[4026] —What is this, he said, in the name of God? Crumbs?

[4032] leather of the seats. Mr Dedalus, twisting his nose, frowned downward

[4179] white disc of a straw hat flashed reply: spruce figure: passed.

[4181] Mr Bloom reviewed the nails of his left hand, then those of his right

[4383] nothing. Mistake of nature. If it’s healthy it’s from the mother. If

[4413] clutching rushes. He looked at me. And that awful drunkard of a wife

[4414] of his. Setting up house for her time after time and then pawning the

[4415] furniture on him every Saturday almost. Leading him the life of the

[4416] damned. Wear the heart out of a stone, that. Monday morning. Start

[4623] Beyond the hind carriage a hawker stood by his barrow of cakes and

[4633] A team of horses passed from Finglas with toiling plodding tread,

[4651] much dead weight. Felt heavier myself stepping out of that bath. First

[4815] trundled barrow along a lane of sepulchres.

[4823] —He’s at rest, he said, in the middle of his people, old Dan O’.

[4873] Broken heart. A pump after all, pumping thousands of gallons of blood

[4874] every day. One fine day it gets bunged up: and there you are. Lots of

[4877] dead. That last day idea. Knocking them all up out of their graves. Come

[4946] caretaker hung his thumbs in the loops of his gold watchchain and spoke

[4950] evening to look for the grave of a friend of theirs. They asked for

[4952] traipsing about in the fog they found the grave sure enough. One of the

[4956] The caretaker blinked up at one of the sepulchres they passed. He

[4979] Be the better of a shave. Grey sprouting beard. That’s the first sign

[4983] before her. It might thrill her first. Courting death. Shades of night

[4984] hovering here with all the dead stretched about. The shadows of the

[4988] Gas of graves. Want to keep her mind off it to conceive at all. Women

[4991] night. The clock was on the stroke of twelve. Still they’d kiss all

[4994] Love among the tombstones. Romeo. Spice of pleasure. In the midst of

[4996] Smell of grilled beefsteaks to the starving. Gnawing their vitals.

[5006] Well, so it is. Ought to be flowers of sleep. Chinese cemeteries with

[5012] of William Wilkinson, auditor and accountant, lately deceased, three

[5017] quick in damp earth. The lean old ones tougher. Then a kind of a tallowy

[5018] kind of a cheesy. Then begin to get black, black treacle oozing out of

[5019] them. Then dried up. Deathmoths. Of course the cells or whatever they

[5025] seaside gurls. He looks cheerful enough over it. Gives him a sense of

[5027] Cracking his jokes too: warms the cockles of his heart. The one about

[5033] Gravediggers in Hamlet. Shows the profound knowledge of the human heart.

[5035] nisi prius. Go out of mourning first. Hard to imagine his funeral.

[5044] trundle. The mourners split and moved to each side of the hole, stepping

[5048] Burying him. We come to bury Cæsar. His ides of March or June. He

[5052] dreamt of. A fellow could live on his lonesome all his life. Yes, he

[5061] Poor Dignam! His last lie on the earth in his box. When you think of

[5062] them all it does seem a waste of wood. All gnawed through. They could

[5063] invent a handsome bier with a kind of panel sliding, let it down that

[5064] way. Ay but they might object to be buried out of another fellow’s.

[5065] They’re so particular. Lay me in my native earth. Bit of clay from

[5073] Death’s number. Where the deuce did he pop out of? He wasn’t in the

[5076] Nice soft tweed Ned Lambert has in that suit. Tinge of purple. I had

[5078] once. Used to change three suits in the day. Must get that grey suit of

[5090] say. Shame of death. They hide. Also poor papa went away.

[5103] are the soles of his feet yellow. Pull the pillow away and finish it off

[5104] on the floor since he’s doomed. Devil in that picture of sinner’s

[5106] of Lucia. Shall I nevermore behold thee? Bam! He expires. Gone at last.

[5111] We are praying now for the repose of his soul. Hoping you’re well and

[5112] not in hell. Nice change of air. Out of the fryingpan of life into the

[5113] fire of purgatory.

[5115] Does he ever think of the hole waiting for himself? They say you do when

[5120] The gravediggers took up their spades and flung heavy clods of clay in

[5122] the time? Whew! By jingo, that would be awful! No, no: he is dead, of

[5123] course. Of course he is dead. Monday he died. They ought to have

[5125] a telephone in the coffin and some kind of a canvas airhole. Flag of

[5127] to get shut of them as soon as you are sure there’s no.

[5129] The clay fell softer. Begin to be forgotten. Out of sight, out of mind.

[5131] The caretaker moved away a few paces and put on his hat. Had enough of

[5132] it. The mourners took heart of grace, one by one, covering themselves

[5134] way deftly through the maze of graves. Quietly, sure of his ground, he

[5150] He died of a Tuesday. Got the run. Levanted with the cash of a few ads.

[5169] Didn’t hear. What? Where has he disappeared to? Not a sign. Well of

[5171] Good Lord, what became of him?

[5180] A mound of damp clods rose more, rose, and the gravediggers rested their

[5263] An obese grey rat toddled along the side of the crypt, moving the

[5268] Who lives there? Are laid the remains of Robert Emery. Robert Emmet was

[5273] One of those chaps would make short work of a fellow. Pick the bones

[5275] gone bad. Well and what’s cheese? Corpse of milk. I read in that

[5278] Wholesale burners and Dutch oven dealers. Time of the plague. Quicklime

[5280] Where is that Parsee tower of silence? Eaten by birds. Earth, fire,

[5283] however. Out of a flying machine. Wonder does the news go about whenever

[5286] before he’s well dead. Got wind of Dignam. They wouldn’t care about

[5287] the smell of it. Saltwhite crumbling mush of corpse: smell, taste like

[6552] been pulling A. E.’s leg. He is a man of the very highest morale,

[6559] Wait a moment. Let me say one thing. The finest display of oratory I

[6561] society. Mr Justice Fitzgibbon, the present lord justice of appeal, had

[6563] advocating the revival of the Irish tongue.

[6567] —You know Gerald Fitzgibbon. Then you can imagine the style of his

[6576] —It was the speech, mark you, the professor said, of a finished

[6577] orator, full of courteous haughtiness and pouring in chastened diction

[6578] I will not say the vials of his wrath but pouring the proud man’s

[6593] shorthandwriter in the hall. His dark lean face had a growth of shaggy

[6611] listening to the remarks addressed to the youth of Ireland a moment

[6615] speech of some highpriest of that land addressed to the youthful Moses.

[6622] —And it seemed to me that I heard the voice of that Egyptian

[6623] highpriest raised in a tone of like haughtiness and like pride. I heard

[6633] language? You are a tribe of nomad herdsmen: we are a mighty people. You

[6634] have no cities nor no wealth: our cities are hives of humanity and

[6636] furrow the waters of the known globe. You have but emerged from

[6644] By the Nilebank the babemaries kneel, cradle of bulrushes: a man supple

[6645] in combat: stonehorned, stonebearded, heart of stone.

[6648] mysterious, are the abodes of Isis and Osiris, of Horus and Ammon Ra.

[6654] A dumb belch of hunger cleft his speech. He lifted his voice above it

[6658] accepted that view of life, had he bowed his head and bowed his will

[6660] brought the chosen people out of their house of bondage, nor followed

[6661] the pillar of the cloud by day. He would never have spoken with the

[6663] with the light of inspiration shining in his countenance and bearing in

[6664] his arms the tables of the law, graven in the language of the outlaw.

[6672] —And yet he died without having entered the land of promise.

[6678] The troop of bare feet was heard rushing along the hallway and pattering

[6683] Gone with the wind. Hosts at Mullaghmast and Tara of the kings. Miles of

[6684] ears of porches. The tribune’s words, howled and scattered to the four

[6686] of all that ever anywhere wherever was. Love and laud him: me no more.

[6703] —We will sternly refuse to partake of strong waters, will we not? Yes,

[6704] we will not. By no manner of means.

[6706] Mr O’Madden Burke, following close, said with an ally’s lunge of his

[6711] —Chip of the old block! the editor cried, clapping Stephen on the

[6730] has the prophetic vision. Fuit Ilium! The sack of windy Troy. Kingdoms

[6731] of this world. The masters of the Mediterranean are fellaheen today.

[6762] Damp night reeking of hungry dough. Against the wall. Face glistering

[6768] —They want to see the views of Dublin from the top of Nelson’s

[6771] pennies with the blade of a knife. Two and three in silver and one and

[6779] —They buy one and fourpenceworth of brawn and four slices of panloaf

[6782] a girl at the foot of Nelson’s pillar to take off the thirst of the

[6785] encouraging each other, afraid of the dark, panting, one asking

[6793] and a bottle of double X for supper every Saturday.

[6800] A bevy of scampering newsboys rushed down the steps, scattering in all

[6809] RETURN OF BLOOM

[6813] Mr Bloom, breathless, caught in a whirl of wild newsboys near the

[6814] offices of the Irish Catholic and Dublin Penny Journal, called:

[6834] the national library. House of keys, don’t you see? His name is Keyes.

[6846] that young Dedalus the moving spirit. Has a good pair of boots on him

[6878] Dublin women on the top of Nelson’s pillar.

[6896] of the onehandled adulterer.

[6904] tired to look up or down or to speak. They put the bag of plums between

[6905] them and eat the plums out of it, one after another, wiping off with

[6906] their handkerchiefs the plumjuice that dribbles out of their mouths and

[6917] —You remind me of Antisthenes, the professor said, a disciple of

[6918] Gorgias, the sophist. It is said of him that none could tell if he were

[6919] bitterer against others or against himself. He was the son of a noble

[6920] and a bondwoman. And he wrote a book in which he took away the palm of

[6935] rattling crates of bottles, rattled, rolled, horsedrawn, rapidly.

[6947] —No, Stephen said. I call it A Pisgah Sight of Palestine or The

[6948] Parable of The Plums.

[6965] Nelson through the meshes of his wry smile.

[6984] shovelling scoopfuls of creams for a christian brother. Some school

[6989] A sombre Y. M. C. A. young man, watchful among the warm sweet fumes of

[6990] Graham Lemon’s, placed a throwaway in a hand of Mr Bloom.

[6996] Blood of the Lamb.

[6999] washed in the blood of the lamb. God wants blood victim. Birth, hymen,

[7000] martyr, war, foundation of a building, sacrifice, kidney burntoffering,

[7001] druids’ altars. Elijah is coming. Dr John Alexander Dowie restorer of

[7008] crucifix. Our Saviour. Wake up in the dead of night and see him on the

[7011] Phosphorus it must be done with. If you leave a bit of codfish for

[7014] rush out. What was it she wanted? The Malaga raisins. Thinking of Spain.

[7025] such an idea? Eat you out of house and home. No families themselves to

[7026] feed. Living on the fat of the land. Their butteries and larders. I’d

[7028] collation for fear he’d collapse on the altar. A housekeeper of one of

[7029] those fellows if you could pick it out of her. Never pick it out of her.

[7030] Like getting £. s. d. out of him. Does himself well. No guests. All

[7036] Proof of the pudding. Undermines the constitution.

[7038] As he set foot on O’Connell bridge a puffball of smoke plumed up from

[7041] brewery. Regular world in itself. Vats of porter wonderful. Rats get in

[7044] that! Rats: vats. Well, of course, if we knew all the things.

[7048] J’s son must have swallowed a good bellyful of that sewage. One and

[7055] per sec is com. Not a bit. The ball bobbed unheeded on the wake of

[7057] day I threw that stale cake out of the Erin’s King picked it up in the

[7063] no rhymes: blank verse. The flow of the language it is. The thoughts.

[7071] they must be this time of year. Shiny peels: polishes them up with a rag

[7081] Aware of their greed and cunning he shook the powdery crumb from his

[7088] quite enough. Lot of thanks I get. Not even a caw. They spread foot and

[7101] which in the stream of life we trace. Because life is a stream. All

[7102] kinds of places are good for ads. That quack doctor for the clap used

[7124] Fascinating little book that is of sir Robert Ball’s. Parallax. I

[7129] Mr Bloom smiled O rocks at two windows of the ballastoffice. She’s

[7130] right after all. Only big words for ordinary things on account of the

[7136] an albatross. Get outside of a baron of beef. Powerful man he was at

[7137] stowing away number one Bass. Barrel of Bass. See? It all works out.

[7139] A procession of whitesmocked sandwichmen marched slowly towards him

[7143] Wisdom Hely’s. Y lagging behind drew a chunk of bread from under

[7151] eye at once. Everyone dying to know what she’s writing. Get twenty of

[7153] too. Curiosity. Pillar of salt. Wouldn’t have it of course because he

[7154] didn’t think of it himself first. Or the inkbottle I suggested with

[7155] a false stain of black celluloid. His ideas for ads like Plumtree’s

[7159] Kansell, sold by Hely’s Ltd, 85 Dame street. Well out of that ruck

[7160] I am. Devil of a job it was collecting accounts of those convents.

[7163] by her eyes. Very hard to bargain with that sort of a woman. I disturbed

[7165] outside world. Our great day, she said. Feast of Our Lady of Mount

[7168] were short of money. Fried everything in the best butter all the

[7193] American soap I bought: elderflower. Cosy smell of her bathwater. Funny

[7195] daguerreotype atelier he told me of. Hereditary taste.

[7199] Stream of life. What was the name of that priestylooking chap was always

[7202] Pen ...? Of course it’s years ago. Noise of the trams probably. Well,

[7211] or oakroom of the Mansion house. He and I behind. Sheet of her music

[7212] blew out of my hand against the High school railings. Lucky it didn’t.

[7213] Thing like that spoils the effect of a night for her. Professor Goodwin

[7217] up. Corner of Harcourt road remember that gust. Brrfoo! Blew up all her

[7220] those pieces of lap of mutton for her supper with the Chutney sauce she

[7222] unclamping the busk of her stays: white.

[7253] die of? Turn up like a bad penny.

[7259] —Dignam, Mr Bloom said. An old friend of mine. He died quite suddenly,

[7276] He’s in there now with his lawbooks finding out the law of libel. He

[7279] Hot mockturtle vapour and steam of newbaked jampuffs rolypoly poured out

[7280] from Harrison’s. The heavy noonreek tickled the top of Mr Bloom’s

[7283] stood over the grating, breathing in the fumes. Deaden the gnaw of

[7308] —Said the ace of spades was walking up the stairs.

[7310] —The ace of spades! Mr Bloom said.

[7318] —U. p: up, she said. Someone taking a rise out of him. It’s a great

[7332] grapes to take the harm out of it. Shabby genteel. She used to be a

[7339] Pungent mockturtle oxtail mulligatawny. I’m hungry too. Flakes of

[7340] pastry on the gusset of her dress: daub of sugary flour stuck to her

[7347] —Do you ever see anything of Mrs Beaufoy? Mr Bloom asked.

[7352] of the masterstroke. Did I pull the chain? Yes. The last act.

[7362] —Yes, Mrs Breen said. And a houseful of kids at home. It’s a very

[7394] —He has enough of them, she said. Denis will be like that one of these

[7405] in skimpy frockcoat and blue canvas shoes shuffled out of Harrison’s

[7413] Mr Bloom walked on again easily, seeing ahead of him in sunlight the

[7415] days. Watch him! Out he goes again. One way of getting on in the world.

[7427] to simmer. Enough bother wading through fortyfour of them. Wanted, smart

[7433] meet with the approval of the eminent poet A. E. (Mr Geo. Russell). No

[7434] time to do her hair drinking sloppy tea with a book of poetry.

[7438] counter. Resp. girl (R.C.) wishes to hear of post in fruit or pork shop.

[7447] First to the meet and in at the death. Strong as a brood mare some of

[7449] of brandy neat while you’d say knife. That one at the Grosvenor this

[7451] put her mount to it. Think that pugnosed driver did it out of spite. Who

[7454] American. Didn’t take a feather out of her my handling them. As if

[7456] park ranger got me in with Whelan of the Express. Scavenging what the

[7469] year after year all hours of the night. Selfish those t.t’s are. Dog

[7470] in the manger. Only one lump of sugar in my tea, if you please.

[7487] consumptive. Time someone thought about it instead of gassing about the

[7488] what was it the pensive bosom of the silver effulgence. Flapdoodle to

[7490] quite painless out of all the taxes give every child born five quid at

[7496] Not stillborn of course. They are not even registered. Trouble for

[7499] Funny sight two of them together, their bellies out. Molly and Mrs

[7501] returns. How flat they look all of a sudden after. Peaceful eyes. Weight

[7503] she said. The spoon of pap in her mouth before she fed them. O, that’s

[7508] gratitude in people. Humane doctors, most of them.

[7510] Before the huge high door of the Irish house of parliament a flock of

[7516] A squad of constables debouched from College street, marching in Indian

[7518] truncheons. After their feed with a good load of fat soup under their

[7527] him up over a urinal: meeting of the waters. Ought to be places for

[7529] this wide world a vallee. Great song of Julia Morkan’s. Kept her voice

[7530] up to the very last. Pupil of Michael Balfe’s, wasn’t she?

[7539] presence of mind to dive into Manning’s or I was souped. He did come

[7554] Silly billies: mob of young cubs yelling their guts out. Vinegar hill.

[7555] The Butter exchange band. Few years’ time half of them magistrates and

[7561] the invincibles. Member of the corporation too. Egging raw youths on to

[7581] James Stephens’ idea was the best. He knew them. Circles of ten so

[7584] Turnkey’s daughter got him out of Richmond, off from Lusk. Putting up

[7590] Debating societies. That republicanism is the best form of government.

[7594] seasoning under the apron for you. Have another quart of goosegrease

[7604] squads of police marching out, back: trams in, out. Those two loonies

[7606] bed groaning to have a child tugged out of her. One born every second

[7609] blood off, all are washed in the blood of the lamb, bawling maaaaaa.

[7612] coming on, passing on. Houses, lines of houses, streets, miles of

[7619] suburbs, jerrybuilt. Kerwan’s mushroom houses built of breeze.

[7624] This is the very worst hour of the day. Vitality. Dull, gloomy: hate

[7631] The sun freed itself slowly and lit glints of light among the silverware

[7635] There he is: the brother. Image of him. Haunting face. Now that’s a

[7636] coincidence. Course hundreds of times you think of a person and don’t

[7641] woebegone walk of him. Eaten a bad egg. Poached eyes on ghost. I have a

[7645] Afraid to pass a remark on him. Freeze them up with that eye of his.

[7673] of that cow will pursue you through all eternity. They say it’s

[7683] kind of food you see produces the like waves of the brain the poetical.

[7684] For example one of those policemen sweating Irish stew into their shirts

[7685] you couldn’t squeeze a line of poetry out of him. Don’t know what

[7690] He crossed at Nassau street corner and stood before the window of Yeates

[7693] his lunch. Must get those old glasses of mine set right. Goerz lenses

[7700] money too. There’s a little watch up there on the roof of the bank to

[7703] His lids came down on the lower rims of his irides. Can’t see it. If

[7708] completely. The tip of his little finger blotted out the sun’s

[7710] Interesting. There was a lot of talk about those sunspots when we

[7715] Now that I come to think of it that ball falls at Greenwich time. It’s

[7717] some first Saturday of the month. If I could get an introduction to

[7748] middle of the day of Bob Doran’s bottle shoulders. On his annual bend,

[7751] rest of the year sober as a judge.

[7755] Queen’s. Broth of a boy. Dion Boucicault business with his harvestmoon

[7771] silkdames and dowagers, jingle of harnesses, hoofthuds lowringing in the

[7774] the heels were in. Always gives a woman clumsy feet. Molly looks out of

[7777] He passed, dallying, the windows of Brown Thomas, silk mercers. Cascades

[7778] of ribbons. Flimsy China silks. A tilted urn poured from its mouth a

[7779] flood of bloodhued poplin: lustrous blood. The huguenots brought that

[7791] Gleaming silks, petticoats on slim brass rails, rays of flat silk

[7798] Wealth of the world.

[7801] Perfume of embraces all him assailed. With hungered flesh obscurely, he

[7808] tangled pressed grass, in trickling hallways of tenements, along sofas,

[7821] His heart astir he pushed in the door of the Burton restaurant. Stink

[7822] gripped his trembling breath: pungent meatjuice, slush of greens. See

[7828] calling for more bread no charge, swilling, wolfing gobfuls of sloppy

[7831] New set of microbes. A man with an infant’s saucestained napkin tucked

[7837] Don’t! O! A bone! That last pagan king of Ireland Cormac in the

[7838] schoolpoem choked himself at Sletty southward of the Boyne. Wonder what

[7846] Smells of men. Spat-on sawdust, sweetish warmish cigarettesmoke, reek of

[7847] plug, spilt beer, men’s beery piss, the stale of ferment.

[7854] picture then on that. Scoffing up stewgravy with sopping sippets of

[7855] bread. Lick it off the plate, man! Get out of this.

[7857] He gazed round the stooled and tabled eaters, tightening the wings of

[7907] one. Children fighting for the scrapings of the pot. Want a souppot as

[7908] big as the Phoenix park. Harpooning flitches and hindquarters out of it.

[8014] raised his eyes and met the stare of a bilious clock. Two. Pub clock

[8025] —Yes, he said. He’s the organiser in point of fact.

[8031] —He had a good slice of luck, Jack Mooney was telling me, over

[8044] cleaning his lips with two wipes of his napkin. Herring’s blush. Whose

[8056] Mr Bloom ate his strips of sandwich, fresh clean bread, with relish of

[8057] disgust pungent mustard, the feety savour of green cheese. Sips of his

[8061] Nice quiet bar. Nice piece of wood in that counter. Nicely planed. Like

[8105] Mild fire of wine kindled his veins. I wanted that badly. Felt so

[8106] off colour. His eyes unhungrily saw shelves of tins: sardines, gaudy

[8107] lobsters’ claws. All the odd things people pick up for food. Out of

[8108] shells, periwinkles with a pin, off trees, snails out of the ground the

[8109] French eat, out of the sea with bait on a hook. Silly fish learn nothing

[8116] a clot of phlegm. Filthy shells. Devil to open them too. Who found them

[8122] blue and green again. Dinner of thirty courses. Each dish harmless might

[8124] yes or was it Otto one of those Habsburgs? Or who was it used to eat the

[8125] scruff off his own head? Cheapest lunch in town. Of course aristocrats,

[8127] Raw pastry I like myself. Half the catch of oysters they throw back in

[8131] pretend they’re. Hermit with a platter of pulse keep down the stings

[8132] of the flesh. Know me come eat with me. Royal sturgeon high sheriff,

[8255] and swore her in on the spot a master mason. That was one of the saint

[8256] Legers of Doneraile.

[8448] Wonder if he has a name. Van. Keep his cane clear of the horse’s legs:

[8450] front of a horse.

[8461] Mr Bloom walked behind the eyeless feet, a flatcut suit of herringbone

[8463] Must have felt it. See things in their forehead perhaps: kind of sense

[8464] of volume. Weight or size of it, something blacker than the dark. Wonder

[8465] would he feel it if something was removed. Feel a gap. Queer idea of

[8475] Of course the other senses are more. Embroider. Plait baskets. People

[8479] Sense of smell must be stronger too. Smells on all sides, bunched

[8487] them all on. Must be strange not to see her. Kind of a form in his

[8499] his ears. Again. Fibres of fine fine straw. Then gently his finger felt

[8500] the skin of his right cheek. Downy hair there too. Not smooth enough.

[8506] and trousers and, pulling aside his shirt gently, felt a slack fold of

[8522] cracking a magnum. Tales of the bench and assizes and annals of the

[8832] young Hamlet and to the son of his body, Hamnet Shakespeare, who has

[8920] errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.

[8922] Portals of discovery opened to let in the quaker librarian,

[9129] time after time, so through the ghost of the unquiet father the image

[9130] of the unliving son looks forth. In the intense instant of imagination,

[9136] Drummond of Hawthornden helped you at that stile.

[9203] of all experience, material and moral. Such an appeal will touch him.

[9204] The images of other males of his blood will repel him. He will see in

[9205] them grotesque attempts of nature to foretell or to repeat himself.

[9207] The benign forehead of the quaker librarian enkindled rosily with hope.

[9209] —I hope Mr Dedalus will work out his theory for the enlightenment of

[9214] sonnets. The favoured rival is William Herbert, earl of Pembroke. I own

[9216] harmony with—what shall I say?—our notions of what ought not to have

[9220] prize of their fray.

[9225] —That may be too, Stephen said. There’s a saying of Goethe’s which

[9226] Mr Magee likes to quote. Beware of what you wish for in youth because

[9471] from Kyrios Menelaus’ brooddam, Argive Helen, the wooden mare of Troy

[9472] in whom a score of heroes slept, and handed it to poor Penelope. Twenty

[9473] years he lived in London and, during part of that time, he drew a salary

[9474] equal to that of the lord chancellor of Ireland. His life was rich. His

[9475] art, more than the art of feudalism as Walt Whitman called it, is the

[9476] art of surfeit. Hot herringpies, green mugs of sack, honeysauces, sugar

[9477] of roses, marchpane, gooseberried pigeons, ringocandies. Sir Walter

[9479] back including a pair of fancy stays. The gombeenwoman Eliza Tudor had

[9480] underlinen enough to vie with her of Sheba. Twenty years he dallied

[9482] and its foul pleasures. You know Manningham’s story of the burgher’s

[9489] suited for a player, and the punks of the bankside, a penny a time.

[9494] —The height of fine society. And sir William Davenant of Oxford’s

[9495] mother with her cup of canary for any cockcanary.

[9501] —And Harry of six wives’ daughter. And other lady friends from

[9506] Do and do. Thing done. In a rosery of Fetter lane of Gerard, herbalist,

[9507] he walks, greyedauburn. An azured harebell like her veins. Lids of

[9509] Afar, in a reek of lust and squalor, hands are laid on whiteness.

[9535] —The burden of proof is with you not with me, he said frowning. If you

[9536] deny that in the fifth scene of Hamlet he has branded her with infamy

[9537] tell me why there is no mention of her during the thirtyfour years

[9583] —He was a rich country gentleman, Stephen said, with a coat of arms

[9600] tribute to his elders, wills to be laid in earth near the bones of

[9629] Sayest thou so? Will they wrest from us, from me, the palm of beauty?

[9631] —And the sense of property, Stephen said. He drew Shylock out of his

[9632] own long pocket. The son of a maltjobber and moneylender he was himself

[9633] a cornjobber and moneylender, with ten tods of corn hoarded in the

[9634] famine riots. His borrowers are no doubt those divers of worship

[9635] mentioned by Chettle Falstaff who reported his uprightness of dealing.

[9636] He sued a fellowplayer for the price of a few bags of malt and exacted

[9637] his pound of flesh in interest for every money lent. How else could

[9644] His pageants, the histories, sail fullbellied on a tide of Mafeking

[9646] theory of equivocation. The Sea Venture comes home from Bermudas and the

[9649] carrotty Bess, the gross virgin who inspired The Merry Wives of Windsor,

[9682] reading in the original, writing of incest from a standpoint different

[9683] from that of the new Viennese school Mr Magee spoke of, likens it in his

[9684] wise and curious way to an avarice of the emotions. He means that the

[9687] avarice, are of all races the most given to intermarriage. Accusations

[9688] are made in anger. The christian laws which built up the hoards of the

[9789] —Sabellius, the African, subtlest heresiarch of all the beasts of

[9790] the field, held that the Father was Himself His Own Son. The bulldog of

[9794] of the same name in the comedy of errors wrote Hamlet he was not the

[9795] father of his own son merely but, being no more a son, he was and felt

[9796] himself the father of all his race, the father of his own grandfather,

[9797] the father of his unborn grandson who, by the same token, never was

[9812] forest of Arden. Her death brought from him the scene with Volumnia in

[9813] Coriolanus. His boyson’s death is the deathscene of young Arthur in

[9816] Cleopatra, fleshpot of Egypt, and Cressid and Venus are we may guess.

[9873] eyes watched it, lowlying on the horizon, eastward of the bear, as

[9954] I am tired of my voice, the voice of Esau. My kingdom for a drink.

[9959] he took the stuff of his plays. Why did he take them rather than others?

[9963] The other four acts of that play hang limply from that first. Of all his

[9966] Edmund figures lifted out of Sidney’s Arcadia and spatchcocked on to a

[9986] my lords bishops of Maynooth. An original sin and, like original sin,

[10313] A onelegged sailor, swinging himself onward by lazy jerks of his

[10315] sisters of charity and held out a peaked cap for alms towards the very

[10320] of soldiers and sailors, whose legs had been shot off by cannonballs,

[10321] ending their days in some pauper ward, and of cardinal Wolsey’s

[10323] abandoned me in my old days. He walked by the treeshade of sunnywinking

[10324] leaves: and towards him came the wife of Mr David Sheehy M.P.

[10336] Father Conmee was very glad to see the wife of Mr David Sheehy M.P.

[10353] Of good family too would one think it? Welsh, were they not?

[10357] Father Conmee stopped three little schoolboys at the corner of Mountjoy

[10364] pointed to the red pillarbox at the corner of Fitzgibbon street.

[10405] A band of satchelled schoolboys crossed from Richmond street. All

[10414] Near Aldborough house Father Conmee thought of that spendthrift

[10420] from baconflitches and ample cools of butter. He passed Grogan’s

[10421] the Tobacconist against which newsboards leaned and told of a dreadful

[10424] act of perfect contrition.

[10427] of which two unlabouring men lounged. They saluted him and were saluted.

[10431] of hay. A constable on his beat saluted Father Conmee and Father Conmee

[10436] Moored under the trees of Charleville Mall Father Conmee saw a

[10437] turfbarge, a towhorse with pendent head, a bargeman with a hat of dirty

[10438] straw seated amidships, smoking and staring at a branch of poplar above

[10439] him. It was idyllic: and Father Conmee reflected on the providence of

[10441] out and bring it to town and hamlet to make fires in the houses of poor

[10444] On Newcomen bridge the very reverend John Conmee S. J. of saint Francis

[10448] Off an inward bound tram stepped the reverend Nicholas Dudley C. C. of

[10454] Father Conmee sat in a corner of the tramcar, a blue ticket tucked with

[10455] care in the eye of one plump kid glove, while four shillings, a sixpence

[10459] solemnity of the occupants of the car seemed to Father Conmee excessive

[10464] supposed. A tiny yawn opened the mouth of the wife of the gentleman with

[10489] Father Conmee thought of the souls of black and brown and yellow men and

[10490] of his sermon on saint Peter Claver S. J. and the African mission and of

[10491] the propagation of the faith and of the millions of black and brown and

[10492] yellow souls that had not received the baptism of water when their last

[10495] millions of human souls created by God in His Own likeness to whom the

[10505] immediate hereditary lord admiral of Malahide and the seas adjoining.

[10510] Father Conmee, walking, thought of his little book Old Times in the

[10511] Barony and of the book that might be written about jesuit houses and of

[10512] Mary Rochfort, daughter of lord Molesworth, first countess of Belvedere.

[10514] A listless lady, no more young, walked alone the shore of lough Ennel,

[10515] Mary, first countess of Belvedere, listlessly walking in the evening,

[10522] Father Conmee thought of that tyrannous incontinence, needed however for

[10523] man’s race on earth, and of the ways of God which were not our ways.

[10525] Don John Conmee walked and moved in times of yore. He was humane and

[10528] clusters. And the hands of a bride and of a bridegroom, noble to noble,

[10533] The lychgate of a field showed Father Conmee breadths of cabbages,

[10535] of small white clouds going slowly down the wind. Moutonner, the French

[10538] Father Conmee, reading his office, watched a flock of muttoning clouds

[10818] far back in her drawer and rolled a sheet of gaudy notepaper into her

[11143] He laid both books aside and glanced at the third: Tales of the Ghetto

[11152] Onions of his breath came across the counter out of his ruined mouth.

[11153] He bent to make a bundle of the other books, hugged them against his

[11222] The lacquey by the door of Dillon’s auctionrooms shook his handbell

[11223] twice again and viewed himself in the chalked mirror of the cabinet.

[11225] Dilly Dedalus, loitering by the curbstone, heard the beats of the

[11226] bell, the cries of the auctioneer within. Four and nine. Those lovely

[11234] Bang of the lastlap bell spurred the halfmile wheelmen to their sprint.

[11243] —Stand up straight for the love of the lord Jesus, Mr Dedalus said.

[11250] —Stand up straight, girl, he said. You’ll get curvature of the

[11284] them, are you? An insolent pack of little bitches since your poor mother

[11395] Mr Kernan glanced in farewell at his image. High colour, of course.

[11870] poet. The joy of creation...

[11874] It’s rather interesting because professor Pokorny of Vienna makes an

[11875] interesting point out of that.

[11880] —He can find no trace of hell in ancient Irish myth, Haines said, amid

[11881] the cheerful cups. The moral idea seems lacking, the sense of destiny,

[11882] of retribution. Rather strange he should have just that fixed idea. Does

[12034] general governor of Ireland. The Right Honourable William Humble, earl

[12035] of Dudley, G. C. V. O., passed Micky Anderson’s all times ticking

[12038] and Nosey Flynn watched the approach of the cavalcade. Tom Rochford,

[14160] In Inisfail the fair there lies a land, the land of holy Michan. There

[14161] rises a watchtower beheld of men afar. There sleep the mighty dead as in

[14162] life they slept, warriors and princes of high renown. A pleasant land

[14163] it is in sooth of murmuring waters, fishful streams where sport the

[14166] fish generally and other denizens of the aqueous kingdom too numerous to

[14167] be enumerated. In the mild breezes of the west and of the east the lofty

[14189] York and Savoy, and trays of onions, pearls of the earth, and punnets of

[14192] chips of strawberries and sieves of gooseberries, pulpy and pelurious,

[14198] And by that way wend the herds innumerable of bellwethers and flushed

[14202] various different varieties of highly distinguished swine and Angus

[14273] that of a broadshouldered deepchested stronglimbed frankeyed redhaired

[14277] rocklike mountainous knees were covered, as was likewise the rest of his

[14278] body wherever visible, with a strong growth of tawny prickly hair in

[14280] The widewinged nostrils, from which bristles of the same tawny hue

[14281] projected, were of such capaciousness that within their cavernous

[14283] in which a tear and a smile strove ever for the mastery were of the

[14284] dimensions of a goodsized cauliflower. A powerful current of warm breath

[14285] issued at regular intervals from the profound cavity of his mouth

[14286] while in rhythmic resonance the loud strong hale reverberations of his

[14287] formidable heart thundered rumblingly causing the ground, the summit of

[14288] the lofty tower and the still loftier walls of the cave to vibrate and

[14291] He wore a long unsleeved garment of recently flayed oxhide reaching

[14293] a girdle of plaited straw and rushes. Beneath this he wore trews of

[14296] with brogues of salted cowhide laced with the windpipe of the same

[14297] beast. From his girdle hung a row of seastones which jangled at every

[14298] movement of his portentous frame and on these were graven with rude

[14299] yet striking art the tribal images of many Irish heroes and heroines of

[14300] antiquity, Cuchulin, Conn of hundred battles, Niall of nine hostages,

[14301] Brian of Kincora, the ardri Malachi, Art MacMurragh, Shane O’Neill,

[14324] savage animal of the canine tribe whose stertorous gasps announced that

[14380] Ah! Ow! Don’t be talking! I was blue mouldy for the want of that pint.

[14381] Declare to God I could hear it hit the pit of my stomach with a click.

[14383] And lo, as they quaffed their cup of joy, a godlike messenger came

[14384] swiftly in, radiant as the eye of heaven, a comely youth and behind him

[14385] there passed an elder of noble gait and countenance, bearing the sacred

[14386] scrolls of law and with him his lady wife a dame of peerless lineage,

[14387] fairest of her race.

[14392] Doran. I didn’t know what was up and Alf kept making signs out of the

[14409] The bloody mongrel began to growl that’d put the fear of God in you

[14438] full of the foamy ebon ale which the noble twin brothers Bungiveagh and

[14439] Bungardilaun brew ever in their divine alevats, cunning as the sons of

[14440] deathless Leda. For they garner the succulent berries of the hop and

[14443] from their toil, those cunning brothers, lords of the vat.

[14447] thirsted, the soul of chivalry, in beauty akin to the immortals.

[14449] But he, the young chief of the O’Bergan’s, could ill brook to be

[14451] testoon of costliest bronze. Thereon embossed in excellent smithwork

[14452] was seen the image of a queen of regal port, scion of the house of

[14454] of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the

[14455] British dominions beyond the sea, queen, defender of the faith, Empress

[14456] of India, even she, who bore rule, a victress over many peoples, the

[14457] wellbeloved, for they knew and loved her from the rising of the sun to

[14469] So he took a bundle of wisps of letters and envelopes out of his pocket.

[14479] So I saw there was going to be a bit of a dust. Bob’s a queer chap

[14509] with him, the two of them there near whatdoyoucallhim’s... What?

[14516] —Maybe so, says Joe. They took the liberty of burying him this morning

[14521] —Ay, says Joe. He paid the debt of nature, God be merciful to him.

[14529] luminosity of ruby light became gradually visible, the apparition of

[14531] of jivic rays from the crown of the head and face. Communication was

[14532] effected through the pituitary body and also by means of the orangefiery

[14535] stated that he was now on the path of pralaya or return but was still

[14536] submitted to trial at the hands of certain bloodthirsty entities on the

[14540] of atmic development opened up to them. Interrogated as to whether life

[14545] waves of volupcy of the very purest nature. Having requested a quart of

[14548] wrong side of Maya to acknowledge the true path for it was reported

[14551] were any special desires on the part of the defunct and the reply was:

[14554] Mr Cornelius Kelleher, manager of Messrs H. J. O’Neill’s popular

[14555] funeral establishment, a personal friend of the defunct, who had been

[14556] responsible for the carrying out of the interment arrangements. Before

[14561] this had greatly perturbed his peace of mind in the other region and

[14567] He is gone from mortal haunts: O’Dignam, sun of our morning. Fleet was

[14568] his foot on the bracken: Patrick of the beamy brow. Wail, Banba, with

[14603] didn’t want that kind of talk in a respectable licensed premises. And

[14619] And mournful and with a heavy heart he bewept the extinction of that

[14620] beam of heaven.

[14630] —O, Christ M’Keown, says Joe, reading one of the letters. Listen to

[14637] To the High Sheriff of Dublin,

[14654] —Hold hard, says Joe, i have a special nack of putting the noose once

[14662] —And the dirty scrawl of the wretch, says Joe. Here, says he, take

[14663] them to hell out of my sight, Alf. Hello, Bloom, says he, what will you

[14671] —Give us one of your prime stinkers, Terry, says Joe.

[14683] In the dark land they bide, the vengeful knights of the razor. Their

[14685] wight hath done a deed of blood for I will on nowise suffer it even so

[14688] So they started talking about capital punishment and of course Bloom

[14689] comes out with the why and the wherefore and all the codology of the

[14691] jewies does have a sort of a queer odour coming off them for dogs about

[14710] phenomenon, don’t you see, because on account of the...

[14716] medical evidence to the effect that the instantaneous fracture of the

[14717] cervical vertebrae and consequent scission of the spinal cord would,

[14718] according to the best approved tradition of medical science, be

[14720] ganglionic stimulus of the nerve centres of the genital apparatus,

[14721] thereby causing the elastic pores of the corpora cavernosa to rapidly

[14722] dilate in such a way as to instantaneously facilitate the flow of blood

[14723] to that part of the human anatomy known as the penis or male organ

[14728] So of course the citizen was only waiting for the wink of the word and

[14729] he starts gassing out of him about the invincibles and the old guard and

[14730] the men of sixtyseven and who fears to speak of ninetyeight and Joe with

[14736] was standing Alf a half one sucking up for what he could get. So of

[14743] tumbling off the bloody stool atop of the bloody old dog and he talking

[14744] all kinds of drivel about training by kindness and thoroughbred dog and

[14746] bits of old biscuit out of the bottom of a Jacobs’ tin he told Terry

[14748] out of him a yard long for more. Near ate the tin and all, hungry bloody

[14754] she’s far from the land. And Bloom, of course, with his knockmedown

[14758] was an old one there with a cracked loodheramaun of a nephew and

[14759] Bloom trying to get the soft side of her doing the mollycoddle playing

[14760] bézique to come in for a bit of the wampum in her will and not eating

[14761] meat of a Friday because the old one was always thumping her craw and

[14762] taking the lout out for a walk. And one time he led him the rounds of

[14765] evils of alcohol and by herrings, if the three women didn’t near roast

[14774] —The memory of the dead, says the citizen taking up his pintglass and

[14786] gloomy precincts rolled the ominous warning of a hundred muffled drums

[14787] punctuated by the hollow booming of pieces of ordnance. The deafening

[14788] claps of thunder and the dazzling flashes of lightning which lit up

[14789] the ghastly scene testified that the artillery of heaven had lent its

[14791] poured down from the floodgates of the angry heavens upon the

[14792] bared heads of the assembled multitude which numbered at the

[14793] lowest computation five hundred thousand persons. A posse of Dublin

[14799] trains and upholstered charabancs had been provided for the comfort of

[14800] our country cousins of whom there were large contingents. Considerable

[14804] with their broadsheets among lovers of the comedy element and nobody

[14806] will grudge them their hardearned pennies. The children of the Male and

[14809] entertainment and a word of praise is due to the Little Sisters of

[14810] the Poor for their excellent idea of affording the poor fatherless

[14818] seat by the aid of a powerful steam crane), Monsieur Pierrepaul

[14833] T. E. I. as to whether the eighth or the ninth of March was the correct

[14834] date of the birth of Ireland’s patron saint. In the course of the

[14837] of pig iron were resorted to and blows were freely exchanged. The

[14840] proposed the seventeenth of the month as a solution equally honourable

[14844] of whom were bleeding profusely. Commendatore Beninobenone having been

[14848] affray from the pockets of his junior colleagues in the hope of bringing

[14857] so characteristic of the man. The arrival of the worldrenowned headsman

[14858] was greeted by a roar of acclamation from the huge concourse, the

[14861] medley of cries, hoch, banzai, eljen, zivio, chinchin, polla kronia,

[14862] hiphip, vive, Allah, amid which the ringing evviva of the delegate of

[14872] penalty knelt in a most christian spirit in a pool of rainwater, his

[14873] cassock above his hoary head, and offered up to the throne of grace

[14874] fervent prayers of supplication. Hard by the block stood the grim figure

[14875] of the executioner, his visage being concealed in a tengallon pot

[14877] furiously. As he awaited the fatal signal he tested the edge of his

[14880] admirers of his fell but necessary office. On a handsome mahogany table

[14883] worldfamous firm of cutlers, Messrs John Round and Sons, Sheffield),

[14884] a terra cotta saucepan for the reception of the duodenum, colon,

[14886] commodious milkjugs destined to receive the most precious blood of the

[14887] most precious victim. The housesteward of the amalgamated cats’ and

[14889] to that beneficent institution. Quite an excellent repast consisting of

[14892] by the authorities for the consumption of the central figure of the

[14897] should be divided in aliquot parts among the members of the sick and

[14898] indigent roomkeepers’ association as a token of his regard and esteem.

[14899] The nec and non plus ultra of emotion were reached when the blushing

[14900] bride elect burst her way through the serried ranks of the bystanders

[14901] and flung herself upon the muscular bosom of him who was about to be

[14904] of her christian name she kissed passionately all the various suitable

[14905] areas of his person which the decencies of prison garb permitted her

[14906] ardour to reach. She swore to him as they mingled the salt streams of

[14910] to his recollection the happy days of blissful childhood together on the

[14911] banks of Anna Liffey when they had indulged in the innocent pastimes

[14912] of the young and, oblivious of the dreadful present, they both laughed

[14916] last time. A fresh torrent of tears burst from their lachrymal ducts

[14917] and the vast concourse of people, touched to the inmost core, broke

[14919] himself. Big strong men, officers of the peace and genial giants of the

[14920] royal Irish constabulary, were making frank use of their handkerchiefs

[14925] tree, solicited the hand of the hapless young lady, requesting her to

[14927] was presented with a tasteful souvenir of the occasion in the shape of

[14929] a fresh outburst of emotion: and when the gallant young Oxonian (the

[14930] bearer, by the way, of one of the most timehonoured names in Albion’s

[14931] history) placed on the finger of his blushing fiancée an expensive

[14932] engagement ring with emeralds set in the form of a fourleaved shamrock

[14935] on the sad occasion, he who had blown a considerable number of sepoys

[14942] makes me kind of bleeding cry, straight, it does, when I sees her cause

[14943] I thinks of my old mashtub what’s waiting for me down Limehouse way.

[14949] he cadged off of Joe and talking about the Gaelic league and the

[14950] antitreating league and drink, the curse of Ireland. Antitreating is

[14951] about the size of it. Gob, he’d let you pour all manner of drink down

[14953] froth of his pint. And one night I went in with a fellow into one of

[14955] of hay she could my Maureen Lay and there was a fellow with a Ballyhooly

[14956] blue ribbon badge spiffing out of him in Irish and a lot of colleen

[14961] shuffling their feet to the tune the old cow died of. And one or two

[14982] papers about the muzzling order for a dog the like of that. Growling

[14984] hydrophobia dropping out of his jaws.

[14986] All those who are interested in the spread of human culture among the

[14987] lower animals (and their name is legion) should make a point of not

[14988] missing the really marvellous exhibition of cynanthropy given by the

[14989] famous old Irish red setter wolfdog formerly known by the sobriquet of

[14990] Garryowen and recently rechristened by his large circle of friends and

[14991] acquaintances Owen Garry. The exhibition, which is the result of years

[14992] of training by kindness and a carefully thoughtout dietary system,

[14998] much of those delightful lovesongs with which the writer who conceals

[14999] his identity under the graceful pseudonym of the Little Sweet Branch has

[15002] contemporary) of the harsher and more personal note which is found in

[15003] the satirical effusions of the famous Raftery and of Donal MacConsidine

[15004] to say nothing of a more modern lyrist at present very much in the

[15008] allusion rather more than an indication. The metrical system of

[15010] isosyllabic rules of the Welsh englyn, is infinitely more complicated

[15014] suggestive of suppressed rancour.

[15016] The curse of my curses

[15020] Has no sup of water

[15040] in the way of liquid refreshment? says he.

[15042] —Thank you, no, says Bloom. As a matter of fact I just wanted to

[15043] meet Martin Cunningham, don’t you see, about this insurance of poor

[15045] mean, didn’t serve any notice of the assignment on the company at the

[15060] of the wife and that a trust is created but on the other hand that

[15062] contested the mortgagee’s right till he near had the head of me addled

[15078] slight it may appear if judged by the standard of mere time, is founded,

[15079] as I hope and believe, on a sentiment of mutual esteem as to request of

[15080] you this favour. But, should I have overstepped the limits of reserve

[15081] let the sincerity of my feelings be the excuse for my boldness.

[15085] me consoled by the reflection that, though the errand be one of sorrow,

[15086] this proof of your confidence sweetens in some measure the bitterness of

[15089] —Then suffer me to take your hand, said he. The goodness of your

[15092] poignancy, were I to give vent to my feelings, would deprive me even of

[15099] porter out of teacups. And calling himself a Frenchy for the shawls,

[15107] see him of a Sunday with his little concubine of a wife, and she wagging

[15108] her tail up the aisle of the chapel with her patent boots on her,

[15110] Mooney’s sister. And the old prostitute of a mother procuring rooms to

[15112] patch up the pot, Jesus, he’d kick the shite out of him.

[15127] —Friend of yours, says Alf.

[15136] —Hairy Iopas, says the citizen, that exploded volcano, the darling of

[15137] all countries and the idol of his own.

[15145] head and my heels are coming till Joe Cuffe gave him the order of the

[15148] used to be in rivers of tears some times with Mrs O’Dowd crying her

[15149] eyes out with her eight inches of fat all over her. Couldn’t loosen

[15162] to ask about it on the floor of the house of commons.

[15173] tomorrow about the commissioner of police forbidding Irish games in the

[15174] park. What do you think of that, citizen? The Sluagh na h-Eireann.

[15176] Mr Cowe Conacre (Multifarnham. Nat.): Arising out of the question of

[15183] possession of the evidence produced before a committee of the whole

[15188] for the slaughter of human animals who dare to play Irish games in the

[15194] Mitchelstown telegram inspired the policy of gentlemen on the Treasury

[15197] Mr Allfours: I must have notice of that question.

[15209] champion of all Ireland at putting the sixteen pound shot. What was your

[15221] So off they started about Irish sports and shoneen games the like of

[15222] lawn tennis and about hurley and putting the stone and racy of the soil

[15223] and building up a nation once again and all to that. And of course Bloom

[15230] A most interesting discussion took place in the ancient hall of Brian

[15231] O’Ciarnain’s in Sraid na Bretaine Bheag, under the auspices of

[15232] Sluagh na h-Eireann, on the revival of ancient Gaelic sports and the

[15233] importance of physical culture, as understood in ancient Greece and

[15234] ancient Rome and ancient Ireland, for the development of the race.

[15235] The venerable president of the noble order was in the chair and the

[15236] attendance was of large dimensions. After an instructive discourse by

[15238] a most interesting and instructive discussion of the usual high standard

[15239] of excellence ensued as to the desirability of the revivability of

[15240] the ancient games and sports of our ancient Panceltic forefathers. The

[15241] wellknown and highly respected worker in the cause of our old tongue, Mr

[15243] of the ancient Gaelic sports and pastimes, practised morning and evening

[15244] by Finn MacCool, as calculated to revive the best traditions of manly

[15246] met with a mixed reception of applause and hisses, having espoused the

[15248] response to repeated requests and hearty plaudits from all parts of

[15249] a bumper house, by a remarkably noteworthy rendering of the immortal

[15251] need recalling here) A nation once again in the execution of which the

[15252] veteran patriot champion may be said without fear of contradiction

[15259] prominent members of the clergy as well as representatives of the press

[15299] And Bloom cuts in again about lawn tennis and the circulation of the

[15305] a bloody fool to it. Handed him the father and mother of a beating. See

[15311] to don the gloves for the purse of fifty sovereigns. Handicapped as

[15312] he was by lack of poundage, Dublin’s pet lamb made up for it by

[15313] superlative skill in ringcraft. The final bout of fireworks was a

[15316] receivergeneral of rights and lefts, the artilleryman putting in some

[15320] point of Bennett’s jaw. The redcoat ducked but the Dubliner lifted

[15326] and brimful of pluck, confident of knocking out the fistic Eblanite in

[15330] footwork a treat to watch. After a brisk exchange of courtesies during

[15331] which a smart upper cut of the military man brought blood freely from

[15337] victor to the frenzied cheers of the public who broke through the

[15345] —Who? says Bloom. Ah, yes. That’s quite true. Yes, a kind of summer

[15356] cocoanut and absence of hair on the animal’s chest. Blazes doing the

[15364] Pride of Calpe’s rocky mount, the ravenhaired daughter of Tweedy.

[15366] air. The gardens of Alameda knew her step: the garths of olives knew

[15367] and bowed. The chaste spouse of Leopold is she: Marion of the bountiful

[15370] And lo, there entered one of the clan of the O’Molloy’s, a comely

[15371] hero of white face yet withal somewhat ruddy, his majesty’s counsel

[15372] learned in the law, and with him the prince and heir of the noble line

[15373] of Lambert.

[15403] Pisser releasing his boots out of the pop. What’s your name, sir?

[15405] cross one of those days, I’m thinking.

[15427] —Of course an action would lie, says J. J. It implies that he is not

[15434] —Yes, says J. J., but the truth of a libel is no defence to an

[15435] indictment for publishing it in the eyes of the law.

[15439] —Still, says Bloom, on account of the poor woman, I mean his wife.

[15455] account of it being cruel for the wife having to go round after the

[15459] married him because a cousin of his old fellow’s was pewopener to

[15460] the pope. Picture of him on the wall with his Smashall Sweeney’s

[15464] shillings a week, and he covered with all kinds of breastplates bidding

[15468] be sufficient evidence of malice in the testcase Sadgrove v. Hole. In my

[15491] One of the bottlenosed fraternity it was went by the name of James

[15494] any green in the white of my eye? Course it was a bloody barney. What?

[15506] —Heart as big as a lion, says Ned. Tell him a tale of woe about

[15507] arrears of rent and a sick wife and a squad of kids and, faith, he’ll

[15527] in the third week after the feastday of the Holy and Undivided Trinity,

[15530] halls of law. There master Courtenay, sitting in his own chamber, gave

[15532] probate court, weighed well and pondered the claim of the first

[15533] chargeant upon the property in the matter of the will propounded and

[15534] final testamentary disposition in re the real and personal estate of the

[15536] infant, of unsound mind, and another. And to the solemn court of Green

[15538] the hour of five o’clock to administer the law of the brehons at the

[15540] county of the city of Dublin. And there sat with him the high sinhedrim

[15541] of the twelve tribes of Iar, for every tribe one man, of the tribe of

[15542] Patrick and of the tribe of Hugh and of the tribe of Owen and of the

[15543] tribe of Conn and of the tribe of Oscar and of the tribe of Fergus and

[15544] of the tribe of Finn and of the tribe of Dermot and of the tribe of

[15545] Cormac and of the tribe of Kevin and of the tribe of Caolte and of the

[15546] tribe of Ossian, there being in all twelve good men and true. And he

[15551] they rose in their seats, those twelve of Iar, and they swore by

[15552] the name of Him Who is from everlasting that they would do His

[15553] rightwiseness. And straightway the minions of the law led forth from

[15554] their donjon keep one whom the sleuthhounds of justice had apprehended

[15555] in consequence of information received. And they shackled him hand and

[15556] foot and would take of him ne bail ne mainprise but preferred a charge

[15572] —Swindling the peasants, says the citizen, and the poor of Ireland. We

[15580] —Very kind of you, says Bloom.

[15593] —A dishonoured wife, says the citizen, that’s what’s the cause of

[15601] And what was it only one of the smutty yankee pictures Terry borrows off

[15602] of Corny Kelleher. Secrets for enlarging your private parts. Misconduct

[15603] of society belle. Norman W. Tupper, wealthy Chicago contractor, finds

[15604] pretty but faithless wife in lap of officer Taylor. Belle in her

[15607] late after she doing the trick of the loop with officer Taylor.

[15611] —There’s hair, Joe, says I. Get a queer old tailend of corned beef

[15612] off of that one, what?

[15617] —Well, says the citizen, what’s the latest from the scene of action?

[15622] puissant and high and mighty chief of all Erin and did him to wit of

[15623] that which had befallen, how that the grave elders of the most obedient

[15624] city, second of the realm, had met them in the tholsel, and there, after

[15627] honour among mortal men the winged speech of the seadivided Gael.

[15634] blind eye to the telescope and drawing up a bill of attainder to impeach

[15639] them! The curse of a goodfornothing God light sideways on the bloody

[15640] thicklugged sons of whores’ gets! No music and no art and no

[15641] literature worthy of the name. Any civilisation they have they stole

[15642] from us. Tonguetied sons of bastards’ ghosts.

[15647] Egan of Paris. You wouldn’t see a trace of them or their language

[15654] And says Lenehan that knows a bit of the lingo:

[15659] medher of dark strong foamy ale and, uttering his tribal slogan Lamh

[15660] Dearg Abu, he drank to the undoing of his foes, a race of mighty

[15661] valorous heroes, rulers of the waves, who sit on thrones of alabaster

[15703] twenty millions of Irish should be here today instead of four, our lost

[15705] And our wool that was sold in Rome in the time of Juvenal and our flax

[15706] and our damask from the looms of Antrim and our Limerick lace, our

[15711] Greek merchants that came through the pillars of Hercules, the Gibraltar

[15712] now grabbed by the foe of mankind, with gold and Tyrian purple to

[15713] sell in Wexford at the fair of Carmen? Read Tacitus and Ptolemy, even

[15716] hobbies, with king Philip of Spain offering to pay customs duties for

[15717] the right to fish in our waters. What do the yellowjohns of Anglia owe

[15718] us for our ruined trade and our ruined hearths? And the beds of the

[15719] Barrow and Shannon they won’t deepen with millions of acres of marsh

[15720] and bog to make us all die of consumption?

[15724] land. Larches, firs, all the trees of the conifer family are going fast.

[15725] I was reading a report of lord Castletown’s...

[15727] —Save them, says the citizen, the giant ash of Galway and the

[15728] chieftain elm of Kildare with a fortyfoot bole and an acre of foliage.

[15729] Save the trees of Ireland for the future men of Ireland on the fair

[15730] hills of Eire, O.

[15735] at the wedding of the chevalier Jean Wyse de Neaulan, grand high chief

[15736] ranger of the Irish National Foresters, with Miss Fir Conifer of Pine

[15745] Forrest, Mrs Arabella Blackwood and Mrs Norma Holyoake of Oakholme Regis

[15747] her father, the M’Conifer of the Glands, looked exquisitely charming

[15749] underslip of gloaming grey, sashed with a yoke of broad emerald and

[15750] finished with a triple flounce of darkerhued fringe, the scheme being

[15751] relieved by bretelles and hip insertions of acorn bronze. The maids

[15752] of honour, Miss Larch Conifer and Miss Spruce Conifer, sisters of the

[15754] of plume rose being worked into the pleats in a pinstripe and repeated

[15755] capriciously in the jadegreen toques in the form of heron feathers of

[15757] wellknown ability and, in addition to the prescribed numbers of the

[15758] nuptial mass, played a new and striking arrangement of Woodman, spare

[15759] that tree at the conclusion of the service. On leaving the church of

[15761] subjected to a playful crossfire of hazelnuts, beechmast, bayleaves,

[15762] catkins of willow, ivytod, hollyberries, mistletoe sprigs and quicken

[15772] —And with the help of the holy mother of God we will again, says the

[15775] of Kerry, Killybegs, the third largest harbour in the wide world with a

[15776] fleet of masts of the Galway Lynches and the Cavan O’Reillys and the

[15777] O’Kennedys of Dublin when the earl of Desmond could make a treaty with

[15780] to the fore, none of your Henry Tudor’s harps, no, the oldest flag

[15781] afloat, the flag of the province of Desmond and Thomond, three crowns on

[15782] a blue field, the three sons of Milesius.

[15784] And he took the last swig out of the pint. Moya. All wind and piss like

[15789] holding of an evicted tenant.

[15798] —Yes, sir, says Terry. Small whisky and bottle of Allsop. Right, sir.

[15800] Hanging over the bloody paper with Alf looking for spicy bits instead of

[15801] attending to the general public. Picture of a butting match, trying to

[15804] Omaha, Ga. A lot of Deadwood Dicks in slouch hats and they firing at a

[15807] crucify him to make sure of their job.

[15818] of tars and officers and rearadmirals drawn up in cocked hats and the

[15820] brought out, howling for his ma, and they tie him down on the buttend of

[15832] and he draws out and he flogs the bloody backside off of the poor lad

[15837] hereditary chamber on the face of God’s earth and their land in the

[15838] hands of a dozen gamehogs and cottonball barons. That’s the great

[15839] empire they boast about of drudges and whipped serfs.

[15843] —And the tragedy of it is, says the citizen, they believe it. The

[15846] They believe in rod, the scourger almighty, creator of hell upon earth,

[15847] and in Jacky Tar, the son of a gun, who was conceived of unholy boast,

[15848] born of the fighting navy, suffered under rump and dozen, was scarified,

[15860] greater Ireland beyond the sea. They were driven out of house and home

[15866] of crops that the British hyenas bought and sold in Rio de Janeiro. Ay,

[15867] they drove out the peasants in hordes. Twenty thousand of them died in

[15868] the coffinships. But those that came to the land of the free remember

[15869] the land of bondage. And they will come again and with a vengeance, no

[15870] cravens, the sons of Granuaile, the champions of Kathleen ni Houlihan.

[15881] geese. Fontenoy, eh? And Sarsfield and O’Donnell, duke of Tetuan

[15882] in Spain, and Ulysses Browne of Camus that was fieldmarshal to Maria

[15885] —The French! says the citizen. Set of dancing masters! Do you know

[15888] with perfidious Albion? Firebrands of Europe and they always were.

[15893] had enough of those sausageeating bastards on the throne from George

[15898] with the winkers on her, blind drunk in her royal palace every night of

[15899] God, old Vic, with her jorum of mountain dew and her coachman carting

[15901] whiskers and singing him old bits of songs about Ehren on the Rhine and

[15909] —And what do you think, says Joe, of the holy boys, the priests

[15910] and bishops of Ireland doing up his room in Maynooth in His Satanic

[15911] Majesty’s racing colours and sticking up pictures of all the horses

[15912] his jockeys rode. The earl of Dublin, no less.

[15919] —Considerations of space influenced their lordships’ decision.

[15934] —Persecution, says he, all the history of the world is full of it.

[15949] So of course everyone had the laugh at Bloom and says he, trying to muck

[15950] out of it:

[15960] The citizen said nothing only cleared the spit out of his gullet and,

[15961] gob, he spat a Red bank oyster out of him right in the corner.

[15970] attributed to Solomon of Droma and Manus Tomaltach og MacDonogh, authors

[15971] of the Book of Ballymote, was then carefully produced and called forth

[15972] prolonged admiration. No need to dwell on the legendary beauty of the

[15973] cornerpieces, the acme of art, wherein one can distinctly discern each

[15976] nobler king of beasts than the British article, be it said in passing),

[15979] and grianauns and seats of learning and maledictive stones, are as

[15982] the time of the Barmecides. Glendalough, the lovely lakes of Killarney,

[15983] the ruins of Clonmacnois, Cong Abbey, Glen Inagh and the Twelve Pins,

[15984] Ireland’s Eye, the Green Hills of Tallaght, Croagh Patrick, the

[15985] brewery of Messrs Arthur Guinness, Son and Company (Limited), Lough

[15986] Neagh’s banks, the vale of Ovoca, Isolde’s tower, the Mapas obelisk,

[16020] then he collapses all of a sudden, twisting around all the opposite, as

[16025] knows that it’s the very opposite of that that is really life.

[16029] —Love, says Bloom. I mean the opposite of hatred. I must go now, says

[16041] moya! He’s a nice pattern of a Romeo and Juliet.

[16058] —The blessing of God and Mary and Patrick on you, says the citizen.

[16064] and children of Drogheda to the sword with the bible text God is love

[16065] pasted round the mouth of his cannon? The bible! Did you read that skit

[16071] So the citizen takes up one of his paraphernalia papers and he starts

[16074] —A delegation of the chief cotton magnates of Manchester was presented

[16075] yesterday to His Majesty the Alaki of Abeakuta by Gold Stick in Waiting,

[16076] Lord Walkup of Walkup on Eggs, to tender to His Majesty the heartfelt

[16077] thanks of British traders for the facilities afforded them in his

[16078] dominions. The delegation partook of luncheon at the conclusion of which

[16079] the dusky potentate, in the course of a happy speech, freely translated

[16083] he treasured as one of his dearest possessions an illuminated bible,

[16084] the volume of the word of God and the secret of England’s greatness,

[16086] Victoria, with a personal dedication from the august hand of the Royal

[16087] Donor. The Alaki then drank a lovingcup of firstshot usquebaugh to the

[16088] toast Black and White from the skull of his immediate predecessor in the

[16090] chief factory of Cottonopolis and signed his mark in the visitors’

[16092] course of which he swallowed several knives and forks, amid hilarious

[16141] Goodbye Ireland I’m going to Gort. So I just went round the back of

[16148] done about a gallon) flabbyarse of a wife speaking down the tube she’s

[16152] (there’s the last of it) Jerusalem (ah!) cuckoos.

[16156] all kinds of jerrymandering, packed juries and swindling the taxes off

[16157] of the government and appointing consuls all over the world to walk

[16160] Give us a bloody chance. God save Ireland from the likes of that bloody

[16165] Any amount of money advanced on note of hand. Distance no object. No

[16166] security. Gob, he’s like Lanty MacHale’s goat that’d go a piece of

[16173] with him and a fellow named Crofter or Crofton, pensioner out of

[16191] And for ourselves give us of your best for ifaith we need it.

[16196] —How now, fellow? cried the second of the party, a man of pleasant

[16211] —What say you, good masters, to a squab pigeon pasty, some collops of

[16212] venison, a saddle of veal, widgeon with crisp hog’s bacon, a boar’s

[16213] head with pistachios, a bason of jolly custard, a medlar tansy and a

[16214] flagon of old Rhenish?

[16218] —Aha! cried he of the pleasant countenance. A poor house and a bare

[16250] —Isn’t he a cousin of Bloom the dentist? says Jack Power.

[16256] —That’s the new Messiah for Ireland! says the citizen. Island of

[16282] Gob, there’s many a true word spoken in jest. One of those mixed

[16508] the distinguished phenomenologist on behalf of a large section of the

[16509] community and was accompanied by the gift of a silver casket, tastefully

[16510] executed in the style of ancient Celtic ornament, a work which reflects

[16512] was the recipient of a hearty ovation, many of those who were present

[16513] being visibly moved when the select orchestra of Irish pipes struck

[16524] the representatives of the fair sex who were present in large numbers

[16525] while, as it proceeded down the river, escorted by a flotilla of barges,

[16526] the flags of the Ballast office and Custom House were dipped in salute

[16555] grade of Mercalli’s scale, and there is no record extant of a similar

[16556] seismic disturbance in our island since the earthquake of 1534, the year

[16557] of the rebellion of Silken Thomas. The epicentre appears to have been

[16558] that part of the metropolis which constitutes the Inn’s Quay ward and

[16559] parish of Saint Michan covering a surface of fortyone acres, two roods

[16561] of the palace of justice were demolished and that noble edifice itself,

[16562] in which at the time of the catastrophe important legal debates were in

[16563] progress, is literally a mass of ruins beneath which it is to be

[16564] feared all the occupants have been buried alive. From the reports of

[16566] a violent atmospheric perturbation of cyclonic character. An article of

[16570] the erudite and worshipful chairman of quarter sessions sir Frederick

[16571] Falkiner, recorder of Dublin, have been discovered by search parties

[16572] in remote parts of the island respectively, the former on the third

[16573] basaltic ridge of the giant’s causeway, the latter embedded to the

[16574] extent of one foot three inches in the sandy beach of Holeopen bay near

[16575] the old head of Kinsale. Other eyewitnesses depose that they observed

[16616] the chariot, clothed upon in the glory of the brightness, having raiment

[16617] as of the sun, fair as the moon and terrible that for awe they durst not

[16618] look upon Him. And there came a voice out of heaven, calling: Elijah!

[16686] coveted castle too. Needless to say the cries of discomfited Master

[16687] Tommy drew the attention of the girl friends.

[16696] unmentionables were full of sand but Cissy was a past mistress in the

[16697] art of smoothing over life’s tiny troubles and very quickly not one

[16698] speck of sand was to be seen on his smart little suit. Still the blue

[16733] of winsome Irish girlhood as one could wish to see. She was pronounced

[16737] taking of late had done her a world of good much better than the Widow

[16738] Welch’s female pills and she was much better of those discharges she

[16739] used to get and that tired feeling. The waxen pallor of her face was

[16741] genuine Cupid’s bow, Greekly perfect. Her hands were of finely veined

[16742] alabaster with tapering fingers and as white as lemonjuice and queen of

[16746] at daggers drawn with Gerty (the girl chums had of course their little

[16747] tiffs from time to time like the rest of mortals) and she told her not

[16752] kind fate but willed her to be born a gentlewoman of high degree in

[16753] her own right and had she only received the benefit of a good education

[16760] eyes, a charm few could resist. Why have women such eyes of witchery?

[16761] Gerty’s were of the bluest Irish blue, set off by lustrous lashes and

[16763] seductive. It was Madame Vera Verity, directress of the Woman Beautiful

[16764] page of the Princess Novelette, who had first advised her to try

[16766] becoming in leaders of fashion, and she had never regretted it. Then

[16770] her wealth of wonderful hair. It was dark brown with a natural wave in

[16771] it. She had cut it that very morning on account of the new moon and it

[16772] nestled about her pretty head in a profusion of luxuriant clusters and

[16775] her cheeks she looked so lovely in her sweet girlish shyness that of a

[16776] surety God’s fair land of Ireland did not hold her equal.

[16782] a joyous little laugh which had in it all the freshness of a young May

[16784] say that because of him cooling in his attentions when it was simply a

[16785] lovers’ quarrel. As per usual somebody’s nose was out of joint about

[16787] and down in front of her window. Only now his father kept him in in the

[16794] to love her in time. They were protestants in his family and of course

[16797] he was what he looked, every inch a gentleman, the shape of his head too

[16801] and besides they were both of a size too he and she and that was why Edy

[16805] Gerty was dressed simply but with the instinctive taste of a votary of

[16807] out. A neat blouse of electric blue selftinted by dolly dyes (because it

[16810] which she always kept a piece of cottonwool scented with her

[16813] to perfection. She wore a coquettish little love of a hat of wideleaved

[16814] nigger straw contrast trimmed with an underbrim of eggblue chenille and

[16815] at the side a butterfly bow of silk to tone. All Tuesday week afternoon

[16822] the shine out of some people she knew. Her shoes were the newest thing

[16827] proportions beneath her skirt and just the proper amount and no more of

[16830] that knows the fluttering hopes and fears of sweet seventeen (though

[16850] worlds to be in the privacy of her own familiar chamber where, giving

[16853] mirror. You are lovely, Gerty, it said. The paly light of evening falls

[16855] Yes, she had known from the very first that her daydream of a marriage

[16859] sumptuous confection of grey trimmed with expensive blue fox was not

[16861] woman’s birthright. The night of the party long ago in Stoer’s (he

[16865] it was only the end of her nose and then he hastened from the room with

[16866] a remark about refreshments. Impetuous fellow! Strength of character

[16874] the strength of his deep passionate nature and comfort her with a long

[16876] summer eve. With all the heart of her she longs to be his only, his

[16886] feeling of hominess. Her griddlecakes done to a goldenbrown hue and

[16887] queen Ann’s pudding of delightful creaminess had won golden opinions

[16890] then cream the milk and sugar and whisk well the white of eggs though

[16914] Caffrey since he was out of pinnies. Edy told him no, no and to be off

[16936] Gerty MacDowell bent down her head and crimsoned at the idea of Cissy

[16937] saying an unladylike thing like that out loud she’d be ashamed of her

[16942] —Let him! she said with a pert toss of her head and a piquant tilt of

[16955] one of the bravest and truest hearts heaven ever made, not one of your

[16958] And then there came out upon the air the sound of voices and the pealing

[16959] anthem of the organ. It was the men’s temperance retreat conducted

[16961] benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. They were there gathered

[16962] together without distinction of social class (and a most edifying

[16964] storms of this weary world, kneeling before the feet of the immaculate,

[16965] reciting the litany of Our Lady of Loreto, beseeching her to intercede

[16966] for them, the old familiar words, holy Mary, holy virgin of virgins. How

[16967] sad to poor Gerty’s ears! Had her father only avoided the clutches of

[16972] lights or oftentimes gazing out of the window dreamily by the hour at

[16975] childhood days. Nay, she had even witnessed in the home circle deeds of

[16977] the fumes of intoxication, forget himself completely for if there was

[16978] one thing of all things that Gerty knew it was that the man who lifts

[16979] his hand to a woman save in the way of kindness, deserves to be branded

[16980] as the lowest of the low.

[16988] father because he was too old or something or on account of his face

[16989] (it was a palpable case of Doctor Fell) or his carbuncly nose with the

[17000] him for the rest of his days and he couldn’t even go to the funeral on

[17001] account of the gout and she had to go into town to bring him the letters

[17010] like her mother’s taking pinches of snuff and that was the only single

[17012] world of her for her gentle ways. It was Gerty who turned off the gas at

[17013] the main every night and it was Gerty who tacked up on the wall of that

[17014] place where she never forgot every fortnight the chlorate of lime Mr

[17015] Tunney the grocer’s christmas almanac, the picture of halcyon days

[17017] threecornered hat was offering a bunch of flowers to his ladylove with

[17050] towards the shingle. Pure jealousy of course it was nothing else to draw

[17051] attention on account of the gentleman opposite looking. She felt the

[17053] flaming into her cheeks. Till then they had only exchanged glances of

[17054] the most casual but now under the brim of her new hat she ventured a

[17058] Through the open window of the church the fragrant incense was wafted

[17059] and with it the fragrant names of her who was conceived without stain of

[17061] for us, vessel of singular devotion, pray for us, mystical rose. And

[17065] them what the great saint Bernard said in his famous prayer of Mary, the

[17070] The twins were now playing again right merrily for the troubles of

[17073] she cried behind the hood of the pushcar and Edy asked where was Cissy

[17080] eleven months everyone said and big for his age and the picture of

[17081] health, a perfect little bunch of love, and he would certainly turn out

[17089] blanket the other way under him. Of course his infant majesty was most

[17097] him in his mouth the teat of the suckingbottle and the young heathen was

[17101] of that and not get on her nerves, no hour to be out, and the little

[17102] brats of twins. She gazed out towards the distant sea. It was like the

[17106] hear the music like that and the perfume of those incense they burned

[17107] in the church like a kind of waft. And while she gazed her heart went

[17113] was a foreigner, the image of the photo she had of Martin Harvey, the

[17116] always dress the same on account of a play but she could not see whether

[17118] sitting. He was in deep mourning, she could see that, and the story of a

[17121] her kick the ball and perhaps he could see the bright steel buckles of

[17125] of which she had so often dreamed. It was he who mattered and there was

[17127] that he was like no-one else. The very heart of the girlwoman went out

[17136] make him forget the memory of the past. Then mayhap he would embrace her

[17140] Refuge of sinners. Comfortress of the afflicted. Ora pro nobis. Well has

[17142] never be lost or cast away: and fitly is she too a haven of refuge for

[17143] the afflicted because of the seven dolours which transpierced her own

[17146] of the blessed Virgin’s sodality and Father Conroy was helping Canon

[17151] convent for the novena of Saint Dominic. He told her that time when she

[17152] told him about that in confession, crimsoning up to the roots of her

[17154] voice of nature and we were all subject to nature’s laws, he said, in

[17155] this life and that that was no sin because that came from the nature of

[17161] white and gold with a canarybird that came out of a little house to tell

[17163] adoration because it was hard to know what sort of a present to give or

[17164] perhaps an album of illuminated views of Dublin or some place.

[17166] The exasperating little brats of twins began to quarrel again and Jacky

[17169] a good hiding for themselves to keep them in their places, the both of

[17178] a good enough colour if there had been more of it but with all the

[17183] was a lot of the tomboy about Cissy Caffrey and she was a forward piece

[17186] all the end of her petticoat running and her skinny shanks up as far as

[17192] Queen of angels, queen of patriarchs, queen of prophets, of all saints,

[17193] they prayed, queen of the most holy rosary and then Father Conroy handed

[17199] he never took his eyes off of her and then Canon O’Hanlon handed the

[17204] Sparrow’s of George’s street on the Tuesday, no the Monday before

[17207] neither shape nor form (the cheek of her!) because he had eyes in his

[17213] a fortnight before like a rag on her back and a bit of her petticoat

[17215] settle her hair and a prettier, a daintier head of nutbrown tresses was

[17218] mile before you found a head of hair the like of that. She could almost

[17219] see the swift answering flash of admiration in his eyes that set her

[17225] to brow till the lovely colour of her face became a glorious rose.

[17230] no-one could get on with her poking her nose into what was no concern of

[17235] —What? replied Gerty with a smile reinforced by the whitest of teeth.

[17239] their babby home to the mischief out of that so that was why she just

[17249] hand out of his pocket, getting nervous, and beginning to play with his

[17254] in every line of his distinguishedlooking figure.

[17261] measured accents there was a suspicion of a quiver in the mellow tones.

[17263] his waterworks were out of order.

[17265] Then they sang the second verse of the Tantum ergo and Canon O’Hanlon

[17267] Father Conroy that one of the candles was just going to set fire to the

[17273] back into his pockets. She felt a kind of a sensation rushing all over

[17274] her and she knew by the feel of her scalp and that irritation against

[17276] was when she clipped her hair on account of the moon. His dark eyes

[17286] their hair to make herself attractive of course and Canon O’Hanlon

[17293] blaze shone from her eyes that spoke volumes of scorn immeasurable. It

[17294] hurt—O yes, it cut deep because Edy had her own quiet way of saying

[17298] moulded it seemed one an artist might have dreamed of. She had loved him

[17301] there was in the blue eyes a quick stinging of tears. Their eyes were

[17308] Her words rang out crystalclear, more musical than the cooing of the

[17311] for Mr Reggy with his swank and his bit of money she could just chuck

[17315] look of measured scorn that would make him shrivel up on the spot. Miss

[17320] something aloof, apart, in another sphere, that she was not of them and

[17328] looked just too ducky, laughing up out of his gleeful eyes, and Cissy

[17329] poked him like that out of fun in his wee fat tummy and baby, without as

[17348] of Erin, the touching chime of those evening bells and at the same

[17350] thither, with a tiny lost cry. And she could see far away the lights of

[17351] the lighthouses so picturesque she would have loved to do with a box of

[17356] she read in that book The Lamplighter by Miss Cummins, author of Mabel

[17357] Vaughan and other tales. For Gerty had her dreams that no-one knew of.

[17359] of that lovely confession album with the coralpink cover to write her

[17360] thoughts in she laid it in the drawer of her toilettable which, though

[17361] it did not err on the side of luxury, was scrupulously neat and clean.

[17363] combs, her child of Mary badge, the whiterose scent, the eyebrowleine,

[17366] in violet ink that she bought in Hely’s of Dame Street for she felt

[17368] that poem that appealed to her so deeply that she had copied out of the

[17371] something about twilight, wilt thou ever? and ofttimes the beauty of

[17383] with the foreign name from the land of song had to have her put into a

[17386] finebred nature instinctively recoiled. She loathed that sort of person,

[17391] without all that other in spite of the conventions of Society with a big

[17396] of mine! She would follow, her dream of love, the dictates of her heart

[17420] But Gerty was adamant. She had no intention of being at their beck and

[17427] be trusted to the death, steadfast, a sterling man, a man of inflexible

[17433] rounded, and she seemed to hear the panting of his heart, his hoarse

[17434] breathing, because she knew too about the passion of men like that,

[17437] them out of the Congested Districts Board that had pictures cut out of

[17438] papers of those skirtdancers and highkickers and she said he used to do

[17442] his and the first quick hot touch of his handsome lips. Besides there

[17451] and the garters were blue to match on account of the transparent and

[17458] high, almost out of sight, and her face was suffused with a divine, an

[17461] those other pettiwidth, the green, four and eleven, on account of being

[17463] it went out of sight a moment and she was trembling in every limb from

[17467] because he couldn’t resist the sight of the wondrous revealment half

[17471] his lips laid on her white brow, the cry of a young girl’s love, a

[17474] Roman candle burst and it was like a sigh of O! and everyone cried O! O!

[17475] in raptures and it gushed out of it a stream of rain gold hair threads

[17480] glanced at him as she bent forward quickly, a pathetic little glance of

[17481] piteous protest, of shy reproach under which he coloured like a girl. He

[17486] He of all men! But there was an infinite store of mercy in those eyes,

[17487] for him too a word of pardon even though he had erred and sinned and

[17498] Gerty had an idea, one of love’s little ruses. She slipped a hand

[17499] into her kerchief pocket and took out the wadding and waved in reply of

[17502] meet again, there, and she would dream of that till then, tomorrow, of

[17503] her dream of yester eve. She drew herself up to her full height. Their

[17505] her heart, full of a strange shining, hung enraptured on her sweet

[17511] darker now and there were stones and bits of wood on the strand and

[17513] of her but with care and very slowly because—because Gerty MacDowell

[17520] wrong by the cut of her jib. Jilted beauty. A defect is ten times worse

[17526] All kinds of crazy longings. Licking pennies. Girl in Tranquilla convent

[17538] natural craving. Shoals of them every evening poured out of offices.

[17540] Pity they can’t see themselves. A dream of wellfilled hose. Where was

[17550] shining beneath his what? of jet. Say a woman loses a charm with every

[17551] pin she takes out. Pinned together. O, Mairy lost the pin of her.

[17552] Dressed up to the nines for somebody. Fashion part of their charm. Just

[17553] changes when you’re on the track of the secret. Except the east: Mary,

[17564] Tableau! O, look who it is for the love of God! How are you at all? What

[17568] have you left? Wouldn’t lend each other a pinch of salt.

[17573] Molly often told me feel things a ton weight. Scratch the sole of my

[17590] meeting someone might know her, bend down or carry a bunch of flowers to

[17608] Still you have to get rid of it someway. They don’t care. Complimented

[17612] of actresses. Nell Gwynn, Mrs Bracegirdle, Maud Branscombe. Curtain

[17615] a man. That’s the secret of it. Good job I let off there behind the

[17616] wall coming out of Dignam’s. Cider that was. Otherwise I couldn’t

[17621] Wonderful of course if you say: good evening, and you see she’s on

[17624] night. All the dirty things I made her say. All wrong of course. My

[17631] of it. Different with me. Glad to get away from other chap’s wife.

[17633] gumchewed gristle. French letter still in my pocketbook. Cause of half

[17641] sake. Flatters them. She must have been thinking of someone else all the

[17642] time. What harm? Must since she came to the use of reason, he, he and

[17655] mother’s clothes. Time enough, understand all the ways of the world.

[17661] lips. Caressing the little boy too. Onlookers see most of the game. Of

[17666] Fine eyes she had, clear. It’s the white of the eye brings that out

[17669] high school drawing a picture of Venus with all his belongings on show.

[17672] under the bed for what’s not there. Longing to get the fright of their

[17674] corner of Cuffe street was goodlooking, thought she might like, twigged

[17686] know! Three years old she was in front of Molly’s dressingtable, just

[17688] knows? Ways of the world. Young student. Straight on her pins anyway not

[17690] of her calf. Transparent stockings, stretched to breaking point. Not

[17696] Edy after with the pushcar and then Gerty beyond the curve of the rocks.

[17704] combined. Excitement. When she leaned back, felt an ache at the butt of

[17706] worse fool of myself however. Instead of talking about nothing. Then

[17707] I will tell you all. Still it was a kind of language between us. It

[17713] Place made me think of that I suppose. All tarred with the same brush.

[17720] out of harm’s way. Nature. Washing child, washing corpse. Dignam.

[17728] marriageable. Worst of all at night Mrs Duggan told me in the City Arms.

[17729] Husband rolling in drunk, stink of pub off him like a polecat. Have that

[17730] in your nose in the dark, whiff of stale boose. Then ask in the morning:

[17734] It’s the blood of the south. Moorish. Also the form, the figure.

[17737] Then they trot you out some kind of a nondescript, wouldn’t know

[17741] in hand. Then little chits of girls, height of a shilling in coppers,

[17744] of seventy and blushing bride. Marry in May and repent in December. This

[17773] slipper on the floor so they wouldn’t hear. But lots of them can’t

[17778] you this to think of me when I’m far away on the pillow. What is it?

[17779] Heliotrope? No. Hyacinth? Hm. Roses, I think. She’d like scent of that

[17782] dance night she met him, dance of the hours. Heat brought it out. She

[17783] was wearing her black and it had the perfume of the time before. Good

[17787] slow but sure. Suppose it’s ever so many millions of tiny grains

[17791] call it gossamer, and they’re always spinning it out of them, fine as

[17793] she takes off. Vamp of her stockings. Warm shoe. Stays. Drawers: little

[17796] Reminds me of strawberries and cream. Wonder where it is really. There

[17797] or the armpits or under the neck. Because you get it out of all holes

[17798] and corners. Hyacinth perfume made of oil of ether or something.

[17812] of forbidden priest. O, father, will you? Let me be the first to. That

[17846] they might think it a house. Wreckers. Grace Darling. People afraid of

[17848] flash better. Women. Light is a kind of reassuring. Not going to hurt

[17849] you. Better now of course than long ago. Country roads. Run you through

[17856] Wait. Trees are they? An optical illusion. Mirage. Land of the setting

[17863] sore on the mouth. Cut with grass or paper worst. Friction of the

[17872] oilpainting of her then. June that was too I wooed. The year returns.

[17875] lame of course but must be on your guard not to feel too much pity. They

[17883] Tired I feel now. Will I get up? O wait. Drained all the manhood out of

[17887] new under the sun. Care of P. O. Dolphin’s Barn. Are you not happy in

[17889] house. Mat Dillon and his bevy of daughters: Tiny, Atty, Floey, Maimy,

[17891] old major, partial to his drop of spirits. Curious she an only child,

[17905] likely. Hanging by his heels in the odour of sanctity. Bell scared him

[17914] still. All instinct like the bird in drouth got water out of the end of

[17916] tiny hands. Weeny bones. Almost see them shimmering, kind of a bluey

[17920] the staircase. Colour of brown turf. Say you never see them with three

[17935] wires. Dreadful life sailors have too. Big brutes of oceangoing steamers

[17937] ballagh! Out of that, bloody curse to you! Others in vessels, bit of a

[17939] winds do blow. Married too. Sometimes away for years at the ends of the

[17942] home again. If ever he does. Smelling the tail end of ports. How can

[17946] touch. That brought us out of the land of Egypt and into the house of

[17956] A last lonely candle wandered up the sky from Mirus bazaar in search of

[17958] of violet but one white stars. They floated, fell: they faded. The

[17959] shepherd’s hour: the hour of folding: hour of tryst. From house to

[17963] lintstock lit the lamp at Leahy’s terrace. By screens of lighted

[17965] Telegraph, stop press edition! Result of the Gold Cup races! and from

[17966] the door of Dignam’s house a boy ran out and called. Twittering the

[17968] crept, grey. Howth settled for slumber, tired of long days, of yumyum

[17970] his fell of ferns. He lay but opened a red eye unsleeping, deep and

[17977] the Erin’s King, throwing them the sack of old papers. Bears in

[17979] overboard to feed the herrings. Nausea. And the women, fear of God in

[17980] their faces. Milly, no sign of funk. Her blue scarf loose, laughing.

[18008] Leah, Lily of Killarney. No. Might be still up. Call to the hospital to

[18010] house of Keyes, museum with those goddesses, Dedalus’ song. Then that

[18014] company. Afraid to be alone like a child of two. Suppose he hit me. Look

[18017] about, three fangs in her mouth. Same style of beauty. Particularly nice

[18018] old party for a cup of tea. The sister of the wife of the wild man of

[18021] Dignam’s put the boots on it. Houses of mourning so depressing because

[18039] of Keyes’s. Work Hynes and Crawford. Petticoats for Molly. She has

[18046] Bottle with story of a treasure in it, thrown from a wreck. Parcels

[18226] good ground of her allowed that that of him swiftseen face, hers, so

[18227] young then had looked. Light swift her eyes kindled, bloom of blushes

[18238] to his limbs. The man then right earnest asked the nun of which death

[18246] dust that gripeth on every man that is born of woman for as he came

[18255] many births of women but never was none so hard as was that woman’s

[18258] for he felt with wonder women’s woe in the travail that they have of

[18263] And whiles they spake the door of the castle was opened and there nighed

[18264] them a mickle noise as of many that sat there at meat. And there came

[18267] had had ado each with other in the house of misericord where this

[18271] a salve of volatile salt and chrism as much as he might suffice. And he

[18274] otherwhither for he was a man of cautels and a subtile. Also the lady

[18275] was of his avis and repreved the learningknight though she trowed well

[18280] for a space being sore of limb after many marches environing in divers

[18283] And in the castle was set a board that was of the birchwood of Finlandy

[18284] and it was upheld by four dwarfmen of that country but they durst not

[18286] knives that are made in a great cavern by swinking demons out of white

[18287] flames that they fix then in the horns of buffalos and stags that there

[18288] abound marvellously. And there were vessels that are wrought by magic of

[18289] Mahound out of seasand and the air by a warlock with his breath that he

[18292] a vat of silver that was moved by craft to open in the which lay strange

[18295] in an oily water brought there from Portugal land because of the fatness

[18296] that therein is like to the juices of the olivepress. And also it was

[18297] a marvel to see in that castle how by magic they make a compost out of

[18298] fecund wheatkidneys out of Chaldee that by aid of certain angry spirits

[18301] out of the ground and of the scales of these serpents they brew out a

[18307] in amity for he never drank no manner of mead which he then put by and

[18309] his neighbour nist not of this wile. And he sat down in that castle with

[18313] reverence of Jesu our alther liege Lord to leave their wassailing for

[18316] cry that it was whether of child or woman and I marvel, said he, that it

[18319] any of the tother and for that they both were knights virtuous in the

[18325] none asking nor desiring of him to drink and, Now drink, said he, fully

[18327] for he was a passing good man of his lustiness. And sir Leopold that was

[18330] that was the very truest knight of the world one that ever did minion

[18334] Now let us speak of that fellowship that was there to the intent to be

[18335] drunken an they might. There was a sort of scholars along either

[18336] side the board, that is to wit, Dixon yclept junior of saint Mary

[18337] Merciable’s with other his fellows Lynch and Madden, scholars of

[18339] one Crotthers, and young Stephen that had mien of a frere that was at

[18340] head of the board and Costello that men clepen Punch Costello all long

[18341] of a mastery of him erewhile gested (and of all them, reserved young

[18342] Stephen, he was the most drunken that demanded still of more mead) and

[18354] matter of some year agone with a woman of Eblana in Horne’s house that

[18355] now was trespassed out of this world and the self night next before her

[18356] death all leeches and pothecaries had taken counsel of her case). And

[18358] the woman should bring forth in pain and wherefore they that were of

[18360] conscience to let her die. And not few and of these was young Lynch

[18370] rede of palmer and bedesman and for a vow he had made to Saint Ultan of

[18375] But, gramercy, what of those Godpossibled souls that we nightly

[18377] and Giver of Life? For, sirs, he said, our lust is brief. We are means

[18380] overmuch drunken and the best word he could have of him was that he

[18382] it so fortuned him to be delivered of his spleen of lustihead. Whereat

[18383] Crotthers of Alba Longa sang young Malachi’s praise of that beast the

[18387] he was able to do any manner of thing that lay in man to do. Thereat

[18389] never durst laugh too open by reason of a strange humour which he would

[18391] be or wheresoever. Then spake young Stephen orgulous of mother Church

[18392] that would cast him out of her bosom, of law of canons, of Lilith,

[18393] patron of abortions, of bigness wrought by wind of seeds of brightness

[18394] or by potency of vampires mouth to mouth or, as Virgilius saith, by the

[18395] influence of the occident or by the reek of moonflower or an she

[18397] peradventure in her bath according to the opinions of Averroes and Moses

[18398] Maimonides. He said also how at the end of the second month a human

[18403] church for all ages founded. All they bachelors then asked of sir

[18405] life. A wariness of mind he would answer as fitted all and, laying hand

[18407] him, who had ever loved the art of physic as might a layman, and

[18419] manchild which on his eleventh day on live had died and no man of art

[18420] could save so dark is destiny. And she was wondrous stricken of heart

[18421] for that evil hap and for his burial did him on a fair corselet of

[18422] lamb’s wool, the flower of the flock, lest he might perish utterly and

[18423] lie akeled (for it was then about the midst of the winter) and now sir

[18424] Leopold that had of his body no manchild for an heir looked upon him his

[18426] and as sad as he was that him failed a son of such gentle courage (for

[18427] all accounted him of real parts) so grieved he also in no less measure

[18434] the intentions of the sovereign pontiff, he gave them for a pledge the

[18435] vicar of Christ which also as he said is vicar of Bray. Now drink we,

[18711] gotten into him a mess of broken victuals or a platter of tripes with

[18714] mother’s son of them would burst their sides. The other, Costello that

[18717] butchered along of the plague. But they can go hang, says he with a

[18719] in this tin as ever came out of it and very friendly he offered to

[18720] take of some salty sprats that stood by which he had eyed wishly in the

[18721] meantime and found the place which was indeed the chief design of his

[18726] who could ill keep him to school to learn his letters and the use of

[18733] kidnapping a squire’s heir by favour of moonlight or fecking maids’

[18736] father the headborough who shed a pint of tears as often as he saw him.

[18738] the drift of it, will they slaughter all? I protest I saw them but this

[18740] ’tis so bad, says he. And he had experience of the like brood beasts

[18741] and of springers, greasy hoggets and wether wool, having been some years

[18749] Muscovy, with a bolus or two of physic to take the bull by the horns.

[18751] horns of a dilemma if he meddles with a bull that’s Irish, says he.

[18755] farmer Nicholas, the bravest cattlebreeder of them all, with an emerald

[18758] says he, never shit on shamrock. He had horns galore, a coat of cloth

[18759] of gold and a sweet smoky breath coming out of his nostrils so that the

[18760] women of our island, leaving doughballs and rollingpins, followed after

[18763] properly gelded by a college of doctors who were no better off than

[18768] of the other so that maid, wife, abbess and widow to this day affirm

[18769] that they would rather any time of the month whisper in his ear in the

[18770] dark of a cowhouse or get a lick on the nape from his long holy tongue

[18771] than lie with the finest strapping young ravisher in the four fields of

[18775] spermacetic oil and built stables for him at every turn of the road

[18776] with a gold manger in each full of the best hay in the market so that he

[18777] could doss and dung to his heart’s content. By this time the father of

[18782] mystery and roar and bellow out of him in bulls’ language and they all

[18786] in the middle of the island with a printed notice, saying: By the Lord

[18788] if ever he got scent of a cattleraider in Roscommon or the wilds of

[18790] of mustard or a bag of rapeseed out he’d run amok over half the

[18796] hell, says he, with the help of that good pizzle my father left me. But

[18799] himself but the first rule of the course was that the others were to row

[18802] he found sure enough that he was a lefthanded descendant of the famous

[18803] champion bull of the Romans, Bos Bovum, which is good bog Latin for boss

[18804] of the show. After that, says Mr Vincent, the lord Harry put his head

[18805] into a cow’s drinkingtrough in the presence of all his courtiers and

[18808] his grandmother and bought a grammar of the bulls’ language to study

[18809] but he could never learn a word of it except the first personal pronoun

[18812] fancy, the side of a rock or a teahouse table or a bale of cotton or

[18813] a corkfloat. In short, he and the bull of Ireland were soon as fast

[18815] was that the men of the island seeing no help was toward, as the ungrate

[18816] women were all of one mind, made a wherry raft, loaded themselves and

[18817] their bundles of chattels on shipboard, set all masts erect, manned the

[18821] pushed off in their bumboat and put to sea to recover the main of

[18822] America. Which was the occasion, says Mr Vincent, of the composing by a

[18823] boatswain of that rollicking chanty:

[18832] enough to express some relish of it all the more as it jumped with a

[18833] project of his own for the cure of the very evil that had been touched

[18834] on. Whereat he handed round to the company a set of pasteboard cards

[18838] from the round of idle pleasures such as form the chief business of sir

[18841] let us hear of it, good my friend, said Mr Dixon. I make no doubt it

[18842] smacks of wenching. Come, be seated, both. ’Tis as cheap sitting as

[18843] standing. Mr Mulligan accepted of the invitation and, expatiating upon

[18845] a consideration of the causes of sterility, both the inhibitory and the

[18847] vexations or to a parsimony of the balance as well as whether the

[18850] defrauded of its dearest pledges: and to reflect upon so many agreeable

[18858] certain counsellors of worth and inspected into this matter, he had

[18859] resolved to purchase in fee simple for ever the freehold of Lambay

[18860] island from its holder, lord Talbot de Malahide, a Tory gentleman of

[18863] hewn and erected after the fashion of Egypt and to offer his dutiful

[18864] yeoman services for the fecundation of any female of what grade of life

[18865] soever who should there direct to him with the desire of fulfilling the

[18866] functions of her natural. Money was no object, he said, nor would he

[18868] opulent lady of fashion, if so be their constructions and their tempers

[18871] diet of savoury tubercles and fish and coneys there, the flesh of these

[18873] broiled and stewed with a blade of mace and a pod or two of capsicum

[18874] chillies. After this homily which he delivered with much warmth of

[18878] observed by Mr Mulligan’s smallclothes of a hodden grey which was now

[18880] by his auditors and won hearty eulogies from all though Mr Dixon of

[18884] upon his memory, seemed to him a sound and tasteful support of his

[18888] centurionum Romanorum magnopere anteponunt, while for those of ruder wit

[18889] he drove home his point by analogies of the animal kingdom more suitable

[18890] to their stomach, the buck and doe of the forest glade, the farmyard

[18894] man of person, this talkative now applied himself to his dress with

[18895] animadversions of some heat upon the sudden whimsy of the atmospherics

[18901] a civil bow and said, Pray, sir, was you in need of any professional

[18904] come there about a lady, now an inmate of Horne’s house, that was in

[18907] Dixon, to turn the table, took on to ask of Mr Mulligan himself whether

[18911] For answer Mr Mulligan, in a gale of laughter at his smalls, smote

[18913] mimic of Mother Grogan (the most excellent creature of her sex though

[18915] bastard. This was so happy a conceit that it renewed the storm of mirth

[18916] and threw the whole room into the most violent agitations of delight.

[18917] The spry rattle had run on in the same vein of mimicry but for some

[18921] fume of a fellow, blond as tow, congratulated in the liveliest fashion

[18924] obligingness to pass him a flagon of cordial waters at the same time by

[18925] a questioning poise of the head (a whole century of polite breeding had

[18927] contrary balance of the bottle asked the narrator as plainly as was ever

[18928] done in words if he might treat him with a cup of it. Mais bien sûr,

[18950] Beneficent Disseminator of blessings to all Thy creatures, how great

[18951] and universal must be that sweetest of Thy tyrannies which can hold in

[18953] the lover in the heyday of reckless passion and the husband of maturer

[18957] cloak along! I could weep to think of it. Then, though it had poured

[18958] seven showers, we were neither of us a penny the worse. But beshrew me,

[18960] thousand thunders, I know of a marchand de capotes, Monsieur Poyntz,

[18961] from whom I can have for a livre as snug a cloak of the French fashion

[18964] (I have just cracked a half bottle avec lui in a circle of the best wits

[18965] of the town), is my authority that in Cape Horn, ventre biche, they have

[18967] of that violence, he tells me, sans blague, has sent more than one

[18971] stopgaps. No woman of any wit would wear one. My dear Kitty told me

[18973] such an ark of salvation for, as she reminded me (blushing piquantly and

[18977] for which the innocence of our original garb, in other circumstances a

[18978] breach of the proprieties, is the fittest, nay, the only garment. The

[18981] chamber of my ear), the first is a bath... But at this point a bell

[18985] Amid the general vacant hilarity of the assembly a bell rang and, while

[18989] party of debauchees of a woman endued with every quality of modesty and

[18990] not less severe than beautiful refrained the humourous sallies even of

[18991] the most licentious but her departure was the signal for an outbreak of

[18993] A monstrous fine bit of cowflesh! I’ll be sworn she has rendezvoused

[19000] with immodest squirmings of his body, how you do tease a body! Drat the

[19001] man! Bless me, I’m all of a wibbly wobbly. Why, you’re as bad as

[19002] dear little Father Cantekissem, that you are! May this pot of four half

[19008] of the lady who was enceinte which she had borne with a laudable

[19013] when I say that if need were I could produce a cloud of witnesses to the

[19014] excellence of her noble exercitations which, so far from being a byword,

[19018] the most momentous that can befall a puny child of clay? Perish the

[19019] thought! I shudder to think of the future of a race where the seeds of

[19028] breath. Stap my vitals, said he, them was always the sentiments of

[19033] To revert to Mr Bloom who, after his first entry, had been conscious of

[19035] of that age upon which it is commonly charged that it knows not

[19036] pity. The young sparks, it is true, were as full of extravagancies

[19037] as overgrown children: the words of their tumultuary discussions

[19040] they scrupulously sensible of the proprieties though their fund of

[19041] strong animal spirits spoke in their behalf. But the word of Mr Costello

[19043] seemed to him a cropeared creature of a misshapen gibbosity, born out

[19044] of wedlock and thrust like a crookback toothed and feet first into the

[19045] world, which the dint of the surgeon’s pliers in his skull lent

[19046] indeed a colour to, so as to put him in thought of that missing link of

[19048] now for more than the middle span of our allotted years that he had

[19049] passed through the thousand vicissitudes of existence and, being of a

[19050] wary ascendancy and self a man of rare forecast, he had enjoined his

[19051] heart to repress all motions of a rising choler and, by intercepting

[19053] plenitude of sufferance which base minds jeer at, rash judgers scorn

[19055] wits at the cost of feminine delicacy (a habit of mind which he never

[19057] herit the tradition of a proper breeding: while for such that, having

[19059] antidote of experience to cause their insolency to beat a precipitate

[19075] since she had been in such pain through no fault of hers. The dressy

[19090] faculty of metempsychosis possessed by them, that the puerperal

[19091] dormitory and the dissecting theatre should be the seminaries of such

[19092] frivolity, that the mere acquisition of academic titles should suffice

[19093] to transform in a pinch of time these votaries of levity into exemplary

[19094] practitioners of an art which most men anywise eminent have esteemed

[19097] that birds of a feather laugh together.

[19099] But with what fitness, let it be asked of the noble lord, his patron,

[19100] has this alien, whom the concession of a gracious prince has admitted

[19101] to civic rights, constituted himself the lord paramount of our

[19105] moment to discharge his piece against the empire of which he is a tenant

[19106] at will while he trembled for the security of his four per cents? Has he

[19108] being a deluder of others he has become at last his own dupe as he is,

[19110] candour to violate the bedchamber of a respectable lady, the daughter of

[19115] listen to his objurgations with any other feeling than the derision of

[19116] the desperate. He says this, a censor of morals, a very pelican in his

[19117] piety, who did not scruple, oblivious of the ties of nature, to attempt

[19119] of society! Nay, had the hussy’s scouringbrush not been her tutelary

[19121] question of the grazing lands his peevish asperity is notorious and

[19125] home a seedfield that lies fallow for the want of the ploughshare? A

[19127] middle life. If he must dispense his balm of Gilead in nostrums

[19128] and apothegms of dubious taste to restore to health a generation of

[19130] that now engross him. His marital breast is the repository of secrets

[19131] which decorum is reluctant to adduce. The lewd suggestions of some faded

[19133] new exponent of morals and healer of ills is at his best an exotic tree

[19140] usage of the Sublime Porte by the second female infirmarian to the

[19143] the women’s apartment to assist at the prescribed ceremony of the

[19144] afterbirth in the presence of the secretary of state for domestic

[19145] affairs and the members of the privy council, silent in unanimous

[19147] solemnity of their vigil and hoping that the joyful occurrence would

[19148] palliate a licence which the simultaneous absence of abigail and

[19149] obstetrician rendered the easier, broke out at once into a strife of

[19150] tongues. In vain the voice of Mr Canvasser Bloom was heard endeavouring

[19152] display of that discursiveness which seemed the only bond of union among

[19153] tempers so divergent. Every phase of the situation was successively

[19154] eviscerated: the prenatal repugnance of uterine brothers, the Caesarean

[19157] Murder and rendered memorable by the impassioned plea of Mr Advocate

[19158] Bushe which secured the acquittal of the wrongfully accused, the rights

[19159] of primogeniture and king’s bounty touching twins and triplets,

[19162] of certain chinless Chinamen (cited by Mr Candidate Mulligan) in

[19163] consequence of defective reunion of the maxillary knobs along the medial

[19165] benefits of anesthesia or twilight sleep, the prolongation of labour

[19166] pains in advanced gravidancy by reason of pressure on the vein, the

[19167] premature relentment of the amniotic fluid (as exemplified in the

[19168] actual case) with consequent peril of sepsis to the matrix, artificial

[19169] insemination by means of syringes, involution of the womb consequent

[19170] upon the menopause, the problem of the perpetration of the species in

[19171] the case of females impregnated by delinquent rape, that distressing

[19172] manner of delivery called by the Brandenburghers Sturzgeburt, the

[19173] recorded instances of multiseminal, twikindled and monstrous births

[19174] conceived during the catamenic period or of consanguineous parents—in

[19175] a word all the cases of human nativity which Aristotle has classified

[19177] problems of obstetrics and forensic medicine were examined with as much

[19178] animation as the most popular beliefs on the state of pregnancy such as

[19181] the injunction upon her in the event of a yearning, ardently and

[19182] ineffectually entertained, to place her hand against that part of her

[19183] person which long usage has consecrated as the seat of castigation. The

[19184] abnormalities of harelip, breastmole, supernumerary digits, negro’s

[19186] facie and natural hypothetical explanation of those swineheaded (the

[19187] case of Madame Grissel Steevens was not forgotten) or doghaired infants

[19188] occasionally born. The hypothesis of a plasmic memory, advanced by the

[19189] Caledonian envoy and worthy of the metaphysical traditions of the land

[19190] he stood for, envisaged in such cases an arrest of embryonic development

[19193] the theory of copulation between women and the males of brutes, his

[19194] authority being his own avouchment in support of fables such as that of

[19195] the Minotaur which the genius of the elegant Latin poet has handed down

[19196] to us in the pages of his Metamorphoses. The impression made by his

[19198] been evoked by an allocution from Mr Candidate Mulligan in that vein of

[19200] the supremest object of desire a nice clean old man. Contemporaneously,

[19203] in the event of one Siamese twin predeceasing the other, the difficulty

[19206] better to show by preternatural gravity that curious dignity of the

[19213] and in the recess appeared... Haines! Which of us did not feel his flesh

[19214] creep! He had a portfolio full of Celtic literature in one hand, in the

[19218] history is to blame. Yes, it is true. I am the murderer of Samuel

[19222] with my share of songs and himself after me the like of a soulth or a

[19230] gone. Tears gushed from the eyes of the dissipated host. The seer

[19231] raised his hand to heaven, murmuring: The vendetta of Mananaun! The sage

[19236] ghost of his own father. He drank drugs to obliterate. For this relief

[19242] What is the age of the soul of man? As she hath the virtue of the

[19246] the cud of reminiscence, that staid agent of publicity and holder of a

[19247] modest substance in the funds. A score of years are blown away. He is

[19249] a mirror (hey, presto!), he beholdeth himself. That young figure of then

[19252] bandolierwise, and in it a goodly hunk of wheaten loaf, a mother’s

[19256] handkerchief (not for show only), his case of bright trinketware (alas!

[19257] a thing now of the past!) and a quiverful of compliant smiles for this

[19262] to the head of the firm, seated with Jacob’s pipe after like labours

[19263] in the paternal ingle (a meal of noodles, you may be sure, is aheating),

[19264] reading through round horned spectacles some paper from the Europe of a

[19268] sons. Who can say? The wise father knows his own child. He thinks of a

[19270] first. Together (she is a poor waif, a child of shame, yours and mine

[19271] and of all for a bare shilling and her luckpenny), together they hear

[19272] the heavy tread of the watch as two raincaped shadows pass the new royal

[19278] terror the poor girl flees away through the murk. She is the bride of

[19279] darkness, a daughter of night. She dare not bear the sunnygolden babe

[19280] of day. No, Leopold. Name and memory solace thee not. That youthful

[19281] illusion of thy strength was taken from thee—and in vain. No son of

[19286] infinite of space: and swiftly, silently the soul is wafted over regions

[19287] of cycles of generations that have lived. A region where grey twilight

[19289] dusk, scattering a perennial dew of stars. She follows her mother with

[19291] are they, yet moulded in prophetic grace of structure, slim shapely

[19293] fade, sad phantoms: all is gone. Agendath is a waste land, a home of

[19295] on the highway of the clouds they come, muttering thunder of rebellion,

[19296] the ghosts of beasts. Huuh! Hark! Huuh! Parallax stalks behind and goads

[19297] them, the lancinating lightnings of whose brow are scorpions. Elk and

[19298] yak, the bulls of Bashan and of Babylon, mammoth and mastodon, they come

[19303] multitude, murderers of the sun.

[19308] magnitude, till it looms, vast, over the house of Virgo. And lo, wonder

[19309] of metempsychosis, it is she, the everlasting bride, harbinger of the

[19313] shod in sandals of bright gold, coifed with a veil of what do you call

[19316] of the cold interstellar wind, winding, coiling, simply swirling,

[19318] metamorphoses of symbol, it blazes, Alpha, a ruby and triangled sign

[19319] upon the forehead of Taurus.

[19321] Francis was reminding Stephen of years before when they had been at

[19323] Pisistratus. Where were they now? Neither knew. You have spoken of the

[19324] past and its phantoms, Stephen said. Why think of them? If I call them

[19325] into life across the waters of Lethe will not the poor ghosts troop to

[19327] bard, am lord and giver of their life. He encircled his gadding hair

[19328] with a coronal of vineleaves, smiling at Vincent. That answer and those

[19330] more, and greatly more, than a capful of light odes can call your genius

[19336] hard it was for him to be reminded of his promise and of his recent

[19337] loss. He would have withdrawn from the feast had not the noise of voices

[19339] of the rider’s name: Lenehan as much more. He told them of the race.

[19347] her a bright casket of gold in which lay some oval sugarplums which she

[19354] By gad, sir, a queen of them. Do you remember her, Vincent? I wish you

[19357] frock of muslin, I do not know the right name of it. The chestnuts that

[19360] cooked on a stone a batch of those buns with Corinth fruit in them that

[19371] slight disorder in her dress: a slip of underwood clung there for the

[19375] poor luck with Bass’s mare perhaps this draught of his may serve me

[19380] born. Any object, intensely regarded, may be a gate of access to the

[19381] incorruptible eon of the gods. Do you not think it, Stephen? Theosophos

[19383] priests initiated into the mysteries of karmic law. The lords of the

[19385] of the lunar chain would not assume the etheric doubles and these

[19389] However, as a matter of fact though, the preposterous surmise about him

[19390] being in some description of a doldrums or other or mesmerised which was

[19391] entirely due to a misconception of the shallowest character, was not

[19393] was going on were at this juncture commencing to exhibit symptoms of

[19397] he had been staring hard at a certain amount of number one Bass bottled

[19399] amongst a lot of others right opposite to where he was and which was

[19400] certainly calculated to attract anyone’s remark on account of its

[19405] two or three private transactions of his own which the other two were as

[19406] mutually innocent of as the babe unborn. Eventually, however, both

[19409] to help him himself and so he accordingly took hold of the neck of the

[19411] made a capacious hole in it by pouring a lot of it out with, also at the

[19412] same time, however, a considerable degree of attentiveness in order not

[19413] to upset any of the beer that was in it about the place.

[19415] The debate which ensued was in its scope and progress an epitome of the

[19416] course of life. Neither place nor council was lacking in dignity. The

[19418] the loftiest and most vital. The high hall of Horne’s house had never

[19420] old rafters of that establishment ever listened to a language so

[19422] the foot of the table in his striking Highland garb, his face glowing

[19423] from the briny airs of the Mull of Galloway. There too, opposite to him,

[19424] was Lynch whose countenance bore already the stigmata of early depravity

[19427] the squat form of Madden. The chair of the resident indeed stood vacant

[19428] before the hearth but on either flank of it the figure of Bannon in

[19429] explorer’s kit of tweed shorts and salted cowhide brogues contrasted

[19430] sharply with the primrose elegance and townbred manners of Malachi

[19431] Roland St John Mulligan. Lastly at the head of the board was the young

[19432] poet who found a refuge from his labours of pedagogy and metaphysical

[19433] inquisition in the convivial atmosphere of Socratic discussion, while

[19434] to right and left of him were accommodated the flippant prognosticator,

[19436] dust of travel and combat and stained by the mire of an indelible

[19438] or threat or degradation could ever efface the image of that voluptuous

[19439] loveliness which the inspired pencil of Lafayette has limned for ages

[19446] deals with tangible phenomena. The man of science like the man in the

[19450] by Mr L. Bloom (Pubb. Canv.) regarding the future determination of sex.

[19451] Must we accept the view of Empedocles of Trinacria that the right ovary

[19453] of males or are the too long neglected spermatozoa or nemasperms the

[19456] Leopold and Valenti, a mixture of both? This would be tantamount to

[19457] a cooperation (one of nature’s favourite devices) between the nisus

[19458] formativus of the nemasperm on the one hand and on the other a happily

[19459] chosen position, succubitus felix, of the passive element. The other

[25317] of the public the primary and most indispensable. Bread, the staff of

[25324] spoke a word of caution re the dangers of nighttown, women of ill fame

[25326] as a habitual practice, was of the nature of a regular deathtrap for

[25327] young fellows of his age particularly if they had acquired drinking

[25328] habits under the influence of liquor unless you knew a little jiujitsu

[25329] for every contingency as even a fellow on the broad of his back could

[25338] the fact was that a lot of those policemen, whom he cordially disliked,

[25339] were admittedly unscrupulous in the service of the Crown and, as Mr

[25342] the spot when wanted but in quiet parts of the city, Pembroke road for

[25343] example, the guardians of the law were well in evidence, the obvious

[25345] he commented on was equipping soldiers with firearms or sidearms of

[25349] health and also character besides which, the squandermania of the thing,

[25350] fast women of the demimonde ran away with a lot of £. s. d. into

[25351] the bargain and the greatest danger of all was who you got drunk with

[25352] though, touching the much vexed question of stimulants, he relished a

[25353] glass of choice old wine in season as both nourishing and bloodmaking

[25357] nothing of your being at the tender mercy of others practically. Most

[25358] of all he commented adversely on the desertion of Stephen by all his

[25359] pubhunting confrères but one, a most glaring piece of ratting on the

[25360] part of his brother medicos under all the circs.

[25366] of the Customhouse and passed under the Loop Line bridge where a brazier

[25367] of coke burning in front of a sentrybox or something like one attracted

[25368] their rather lagging footsteps. Stephen of his own accord stopped for

[25369] no special reason to look at the heap of barren cobblestones and by

[25371] figure of the corporation watchman inside the gloom of the sentrybox. He

[25374] that he recognised in the sentry a quondam friend of his father’s,

[25375] Gumley. To avoid a meeting he drew nearer to the pillars of the railway

[25380] A figure of middle height on the prowl evidently under the arches

[25385] Stephen of course started rather dizzily and stopped to return the

[25386] compliment. Mr Bloom actuated by motives of inherent delicacy inasmuch

[25388] nevertheless remained on the qui vive with just a shade of anxiety

[25393] secluded spot outside the city proper, famished loiterers of the

[25401] breath redolent of rotten cornjuice. Lord John Corley some called him

[25402] and his genealogy came about in this wise. He was the eldest son of

[25403] inspector Corley of the G division, lately deceased, who had married

[25404] a certain Katherine Brophy, the daughter of a Louth farmer. His

[25405] grandfather Patrick Michael Corley of New Ross had married the widow

[25406] of a publican there whose maiden name had been Katherine (also) Talbot.

[25407] Rumour had it (though not proved) that she descended from the house of

[25409] fine residence of its kind and well worth seeing, her mother or aunt or

[25410] some relative, a woman, as the tale went, of extreme beauty, had enjoyed

[25411] the distinction of being in service in the washkitchen. This therefore

[25413] man who now addressed Stephen was spoken of by some with facetious

[25419] him to Stephen a mean bloody swab with a sprinkling of a number of other

[25420] uncalledfor expressions. He was out of a job and implored of Stephen to

[25422] to do. No, it was the daughter of the mother in the washkitchen that

[25423] was fostersister to the heir of the house or else they were connected

[25436] I was never one of your bright ones, he added with a half laugh. I got

[25450] Though this sort of thing went on every other night or very near it

[25451] still Stephen’s feelings got the better of him in a sense though he

[25453] hardly deserving of much credence. However haud ignarus malorum miseris

[25455] would have it he got paid his screw after every middle of the month on

[25456] the sixteenth which was the date of the month as a matter of fact though

[25457] a good bit of the wherewithal was demolished. But the cream of the joke

[25458] was nothing would get it out of Corley’s head that he was living in

[25460] He put his hand in a pocket anyhow not with the idea of finding any food

[25464] missing. A few broken biscuits were all the result of his investigation.

[25476] And so in point of fact they turned out to be. Stephen anyhow lent him

[25477] one of them.

[25489] he got he informed Stephen about a fellow by the name of Bags Comisky

[25490] that he said Stephen knew well out of Fullam’s, the shipchandler’s,

[25492] O’Mara and a little chap with a stutter the name of Tighe. Anyhow

[25496] Mr Bloom in the meanwhile kept dodging about in the vicinity of the

[25497] cobblestones near the brazier of coke in front of the corporation

[25505] to not a few in point of shrewd observation he also remarked on his very

[25507] chronic impecuniosity. Palpably he was one of his hangerson but for the

[25508] matter of that it was merely a question of one preying on his nextdoor

[25510] the matter of that if the man in the street chanced to be in the dock

[25511] himself penal servitude with or without the option of a fine would be

[25512] a very rara avis altogether. In any case he had a consummate amount of

[25513] cool assurance intercepting people at that hour of the night or morning.

[25518] blandiloquence of the other parasite. Alluding to the encounter he said,

[25525] Bloom gazed abstractedly for the space of a half a second or so in the

[25526] direction of a bucketdredger, rejoicing in the farfamed name of Eblana,

[25527] moored alongside Customhouse quay and quite possibly out of repair,

[25530] —Everybody gets their own ration of luck, they say. Now you mention it

[25541] a smile, will you sleep yourself? Walking to Sandycove is out of the

[25551] yesterday. Where does he live at present? I gathered in the course of

[25557] —A gifted man, Mr Bloom said of Mr Dedalus senior, in more respects

[25559] pride, quite legitimate, out of you. You could go back perhaps, he

[25560] hasarded, still thinking of the very unpleasant scene at Westland Row

[25562] that is, and that English tourist friend of his, who eventually euchred

[25574] Boody and Katey, the cat meanwhile under the mangle devouring a mess of

[25575] eggshells and charred fish heads and bones on a square of brown paper,

[25576] in accordance with the third precept of the church to fast and abstain

[25581] trust in that boon companion of yours who contributes the humorous

[25584] probability he never realised what it is to be without regular meals. Of

[25586] me the least surprise to learn that a pinch of tobacco or some narcotic

[25594] in addition to which professional status his rescue of that man from

[25599] at the back of it except he put it down to sheer cussedness or jealousy,

[25605] The guarded glance of half solicitude half curiosity augmented by

[25607] of features did not throw a flood of light, none at all in fact on the

[25616] round which a group of presumably Italians in heated altercation were

[25617] getting rid of voluble expressions in their vivacious language in a

[25636] hints anent the keeper of it said to be the once famous Skin-the-Goat

[25638] facts which quite possibly there was not one vestige of truth in. A few

[25641] of waifs and strays and other nondescript specimens of the genus homo

[25643] for whom they seemingly formed an object of marked curiosity.

[25645] —Now touching a cup of coffee, Mr Bloom ventured to plausibly suggest

[25647] shape of solid food, say, a roll of some description.

[25650] these commodities quietly. The hoi polloi of jarvies or stevedores

[25653] portion of whose hair was greyish, a sailor probably, still stared for

[25655] floor. Mr Bloom, availing himself of the right of free speech, he having

[25658] audible tone of voice à propos of the battle royal in the street which

[25668] —To fill the ear of a cow elephant. They were haggling over money.

[25670] —Is that so? Mr Bloom asked. Of course, he subjoined pensively, at the

[25671] inward reflection of there being more languages to start with than were

[25675] The keeper of the shelter in the middle of this tête-à-tête put a

[25676] boiling swimming cup of a choice concoction labelled coffee on the table

[25677] and a rather antediluvian specimen of a bun, or so it seemed. After

[25681] the honours by surreptitiously pushing the cup of what was temporarily

[25703] The sailor stared at him heavily from a pair of drowsy baggy eyes,

[25704] rather bunged up from excessive use of boose, preferably good old

[25789] might be, the publican of the Crown and Anchor, in shirtsleeves, eating

[25797] of the jarvies with the request:

[25848] them) outside some primitive shanties of osier.

[25857] His postcard proved a centre of attraction for Messrs the greenhorns for

[25877] the fictitious addressee of the missive which made him nourish some

[25878] suspicions of our friend’s bona fides nevertheless it reminded him in

[25879] a way of a longcherished plan he meant to one day realise some Wednesday

[25880] or Saturday of travelling to London via long sea not to say that he had

[25892] out of order, seeing the different places along the route, Plymouth,

[25893] Falmouth, Southampton and so on culminating in an instructive tour of

[25894] the sights of the great metropolis, the spectacle of our modern Babylon

[25896] wealth of Park lane to renew acquaintance with. Another thing just

[25926] of being always and ever cooped up since my old stick-in-the-mud took me

[25928] months of it and merited a radical change of venue after the grind

[25947] leg, it being only about three quarters of an hour’s run from the

[26012] —Have you seen the rock of Gibraltar? Mr Bloom inquired.

[26019] but he failed to do so, simply letting spirt a jet of spew into the

[26020] sawdust, and shook his head with a sort of lazy scorn.

[26131] The face of a streetwalker glazed and haggard under a black straw hat

[26132] peered askew round the door of the shelter palpably reconnoitring on

[26133] her own with the object of bringing more grist to her mill. Mr

[26514] peasant. He’s the backbone of our empire. You know Jem Mullins?

[26518] worthy of his salt that served it. Then they began to have a few

[26520] to the listeners who followed the passage of arms with interest so long

[26523] From inside information extending over a series of years Mr Bloom was

[26526] fully cognisant of the fact that their neighbours across the channel,

[26530] the coal seam of the sister island would be played out and if, as

[26532] personally say on the matter was that as a host of contingencies,

[26534] advisable in the interim to try to make the most of both countries even

[26535] though poles apart. Another little interesting point, the amours of

[26538] fact. And now, why? So the scene between the pair of them, the licensee

[26539] of the place rumoured to be or have been Fitzharris, the famous

[26542] prearranged as the lookeron, a student of the human soul if anything,

[26543] the others seeing least of the game. And as for the lessee or keeper,

[26548] felonsetting, there always being the offchance of a Dannyman coming

[26551] disliked those careers of wrongdoing and crime on principle. Yet, though

[26552] such criminal propensities had never been an inmate of his bosom in any

[26554] remaining what he was) a certain kind of admiration for a man who

[26555] had actually brandished a knife, cold steel, with the courage of his

[26557] any such thing), off the same bat as those love vendettas of the south,

[26561] adored one as a result of an alternative postnuptial liaison by plunging

[26563] Skin-the-Goat, merely drove the car for the actual perpetrators of the

[26565] the ambush which, in point of fact, was the plea some legal luminary

[26570] performance then come up smiling again. Generous to a fault of course,

[26571] temperamental, no economising or any idea of the sort, always snapping

[26573] that Mr Johnny Lever got rid of some £. s. d. in the course of his

[26574] perambulations round the docks in the congenial atmosphere of the Old

[26587] He turned a long you are wrong gaze on Stephen of timorous dark pride

[26588] at the soft impeachment with a glance also of entreaty for he seemed to

[26589] glean in a kind of a way that it wasn’t all exactly.

[26595] —Of course, Mr B. proceeded to stipulate, you must look at both sides

[26596] of the question. It is hard to lay down any hard and fast rules as to

[26600] very fine to boast of mutual superiority but what about mutual equality.

[26603] instalments plan. It’s a patent absurdity on the face of it to hate

[26611] was overwhelmingly right. And the whole world was full of that sort of

[26614] —You just took the words out of my mouth, he said. A hocuspocus of

[26618] bad blood, from some bump of combativeness or gland of some kind,

[26619] erroneously supposed to be about a punctilio of honour and a flag, were

[26620] very largely a question of the money question which was at the back of

[26627] of ruining. Not a vestige of truth in it, I can safely say. History,

[26643] no niggard fashion either, something in the neighbourhood of £ 300 per

[26645] be provocative of friendlier intercourse between man and man. At least

[26647] patria, as we learned a smattering of in our classical days in Alma

[26650] Over his untastable apology for a cup of coffee, listening to this

[26651] synopsis of things in general, Stephen stared at nothing in particular.

[26652] He could hear, of course, all kinds of words changing colour like those

[26654] of different sorts of the same sand where they had a home somewhere

[26664] —I mean, of course, the other hastened to affirm, work in the widest

[26665] possible sense. Also literary labour not merely for the kudos of

[26668] I know of you, after all the money expended on your education you are

[26670] as much right to live by your pen in pursuit of your philosophy as the

[26674] —You suspect, Stephen retorted with a sort of a half laugh, that I

[26687] Stephen, patently crosstempered, repeated and shoved aside his mug of

[26694] to put on belongs to which sounded rather a far cry. The rebuke of some

[26695] kind was clearer than the other part. Needless to say the fumes of

[26699] been familiarised with the right sort of people. With a touch of fear

[26701] of some consternation remembering he had just come back from Paris,

[26702] the eyes more especially reminding him forcibly of father and sister,

[26704] instances of cultured fellows that promised so brilliantly nipped in the

[26705] bud of premature decay and nobody to blame but themselves. For instance

[26706] there was the case of O’Callaghan, for one, the halfcrazy faddist,

[26707] respectably connected though of inadequate means, with his mad vagaries

[26709] to everybody all round he was in the habit of ostentatiously sporting

[26710] in public a suit of brown paper (a fact). And then the usual dénouement

[26713] blind horse from John Mallon of Lower Castle Yard, so as not to be made

[26714] amenable under section two of the criminal law amendment act, certain

[26715] names of those subpœnaed being handed in but not divulged for reasons

[26716] which will occur to anyone with a pick of brains. Briefly, putting two

[26719] all the go in the seventies or thereabouts even in the house of lords

[26720] because early in life the occupant of the throne, then heir apparent,

[26721] the other members of the upper ten and other high personages simply

[26722] following in the footsteps of the head of the state, he reflected about

[26723] the errors of notorieties and crowned heads running counter to morality

[26724] such as the Cornwall case a number of years before under their veneer in

[26728] fiddling more or less at one another it being largely a matter of

[26729] dress and all the rest of it. Ladies who like distinctive underclothing

[26731] between them by innuendo and give more of a genuine filip to acts of

[26736] to the top from the lowest rung by the aid of their bootstraps. Sheer

[26737] force of natural genius, that. With brains, sir.

[26743] acquaintance of someone of no uncommon calibre who could provide food

[26746] Added to which was the coincidence of meeting, discussion, dance, row,

[26747] old salt of the here today and gone tomorrow type, night loafers, the

[26748] whole galaxy of events, all went to make up a miniature cameo of the

[26749] world we live in especially as the lives of the submerged tenth, viz.

[26754] groove (as he fully intended doing) at the rate of one guinea per

[26768] Cup. Victory of outsider Throwaway recalls Derby of ’92 when Capt.

[26770] New York disaster. Thousand lives lost. Foot and Mouth. Funeral of the

[26774] reflected, was anything but a gay sendoff. Or a change of address

[26777] —This morning (Hynes put it in of course) the remains of the late Mr

[26781] brief illness came as a great shock to citizens of all classes by whom

[26782] he is deeply regretted. The obsequies, at which many friends of the

[26793] of bitched type but tickled to death simultaneously by C. P. M’Coy and

[26795] total absence (to say nothing of M’Intosh) L. Boom pointed it out to

[26797] not forgetting the usual crop of nonsensical howlers of misprints.

[26818] that Lenehan’s version of the business was all pure buncombe. Secured

[26821] after not in yet but expected any minute) Maximum II. Different ways of

[26823] ran off at a tangent in his impetuosity to get left. Of course gambling

[26824] eminently lent itself to that sort of thing though as the event turned

[26834] Return of Parnell. He bet them what they liked. A Dublin fusilier was in

[26841] brought over was full of stones. He changed his name to De Wet, the Boer

[26845] memories for in nine cases out of ten it was a case of tarbarrels and

[26847] was twenty odd years. Highly unlikely of course there was even a shadow

[26848] of truth in the stones and, even supposing, he thought a return highly

[26850] his death. Either he petered out too tamely of acute pneumonia just when

[26855] eventually died of it amid widespread regret before a fortnight was at

[26857] out of their hands. Of course nobody being acquainted with his movements

[26859] were decidedly of the Alice, where art thou order even prior to his

[26861] remark which emanated from friend cabby might be within the bounds of

[26863] of men which undoubtedly he was and a commanding figure, a sixfooter

[26867] far between. It certainly pointed a moral, the idol with feet of clay,

[26868] and then seventytwo of his trusty henchmen rounding on him with mutual

[26870] back. That haunting sense kind of drew you. To show the understudy in

[26873] a privilege he keenly appreciated, and, in point of fact, handed him his

[26878] set the terrier at you directly you got back. Then a lot of shillyshally

[26882] Tichborne, Bella was the boat’s name to the best of his recollection

[26890] sound the lie of the land first.

[26895] —Fine lump of a woman all the same, the soi-disant townclerk Henry

[26896] Campbell remarked, and plenty of her. She loosened many a man’s

[26902] This gratuitous contribution of a humorous character occasioned a fair

[26903] amount of laughter among his entourage. As regards Bloom he, without the

[26904] faintest suspicion of a smile, merely gazed in the direction of the door

[26908] of sweet nothings. First it was strictly Platonic till nature intervened

[26910] a climax and the matter became the talk of the town till the staggering

[26919] court literally electrifying everybody in the shape of witnesses

[26921] the act of scrambling out of an upstairs apartment with the assistance

[26922] of a ladder in night apparel, having gained admittance in the same

[26924] coined shoals of money out of. Whereas the simple fact of the case was

[26925] it was simply a case of the husband not being up to the scratch, with

[26927] arriving on the scene, strong to the verge of weakness, falling a victim

[26929] in the loved one’s smiles. The eternal question of the life connubial,

[26932] Though it was no concern of theirs absolutely if he regarded her with

[26933] affection, carried away by a wave of folly. A magnificent specimen of

[26934] manhood he was truly augmented obviously by gifts of a high order, as

[26936] usual everyday farewell, my gallant captain kind of an individual in

[26939] peculiar way which she of course, woman, quickly perceived as highly

[26941] priests and ministers of the gospel as a whole, his erstwhile staunch

[26943] service in the rural parts of the country by taking up the cudgels on

[26946] of fire on his head much in the same way as the fabled ass’s kick.

[26947] Looking back now in a retrospective kind of arrangement all seemed a

[26948] kind of dream. And then coming back was the worst thing you ever did

[26949] because it went without saying you would feel out of place as things

[26951] locality he had not been in for quite a number of years looked different

[26953] North or south, however, it was just the wellknown case of hot passion,

[26956] types that wouldn’t do things by halves, passionate abandon of the

[26957] south, casting every shred of decency to the winds.

[26963] —The king of Spain’s daughter, Stephen answered, adding something or

[26972] Carefully avoiding a book in his pocket Sweets of, which reminded him

[26973] by the by of that Capel street library book out of date, he took out his

[26982] was in the full bloom of womanhood in evening dress cut ostentatiously

[26983] low for the occasion to give a liberal display of bosom, with more than

[26984] vision of breasts, her full lips parted and some perfect teeth, standing

[26985] near, ostensibly with gravity, a piano on the rest of which was In Old

[26988] about something to be admired, Lafayette of Westmoreland street,

[26996] Beside the young man he looked also at the photo of the lady now his

[26997] legal wife who, he intimated, was the accomplished daughter of Major

[27002] lot of notice usually and which did not come out to the best advantage

[27004] ensemble, not to dwell on certain opulent curves of the. He dwelt, being

[27005] a bit of an artist in his spare time, on the female form in general

[27007] he had seen those Grecian statues, perfectly developed as works of art,

[27018] professional etiquette so. Though it was a warm pleasant sort of a night

[27020] storm. And he did feel a kind of need there and then to follow suit like

[27021] a kind of inward voice and satisfy a possible need by moving a motion.

[27024] thoughtfully with the intention of not further increasing the other’s

[27025] possible embarrassment while gauging her symmetry of heaving embonpoint.

[27026] In fact the slight soiling was only an added charm like the case of

[27029] me came into his mind but merely as a passing fancy of his because he

[27035] The vicinity of the young man he certainly relished, educated,

[27036] distingué and impulsive into the bargain, far and away the pick of

[27040] awful lot of makebelieve went on about that sort of thing involving a

[27041] lifelong slur with the usual splash page of gutterpress about the same

[27043] the newest stage favourite instead of being honest and aboveboard about

[27054] the matter was put in the hands of a solicitor who filed a petition for

[27055] the party wronged in due course. He, B, enjoyed the distinction of being

[27058] his guns to the last drop even when clothed in the mantle of adultery,

[27059] (leader’s) trusty henchmen to the number of ten or a dozen or

[27060] possibly even more than that penetrated into the printing works of the

[27063] something like that all on account of some scurrilous effusions from

[27064] the facile pens of the O’Brienite scribes at the usual mudslinging

[27067] though carelessly garbed as usual with that look of settled purpose

[27069] their vast discomfiture that their idol had feet of clay after placing

[27072] sustained a minor injury from a nasty prod of some chap’s elbow in the

[27073] crowd that of course congregated lodging some place about the pit of the

[27074] stomach, fortunately not of a grave character. His hat (Parnell’s)

[27075] a silk one was inadvertently knocked off and, as a matter of strict

[27080] a gentleman born with a stake in the country he, as a matter of fact,

[27081] having gone into it more for the kudos of the thing than anything

[27083] mother’s knee in the shape of knowing what good form was came out at

[27085] aplomb, saying: Thank you, sir, though in a very different tone of voice

[27086] from the ornament of the legal profession whose headgear Bloom also set

[27087] to rights earlier in the course of the day, history repeating itself

[27088] with a difference, after the burial of a mutual friend when they had

[27089] left him alone in his glory after the grim task of having committed his

[27093] jokes of the cabman and so on who passed it all off as a jest, laughing

[27101] rumpus and the erring fair one begging forgiveness of her lord and

[27106] possibly there were several others. He personally, being of a sceptical

[27110] world and they got on fairly well together for the sake of argument,

[27111] when, neglecting her duties, she chose to be tired of wedded life

[27114] affections centred on another, the cause of many liaisons between still

[27116] no doubt as several famous cases of feminine infatuation proved up to

[27119] It was a thousand pities a young fellow, blessed with an allowance of

[27122] his lifetime. In the nature of single blessedness he would one day take

[27129] and the company of smirking misses without a penny to their names bi or

[27130] triweekly with the orthodox preliminary canter of complimentplaying and

[27132] think of him house and homeless, rooked by some landlady worse than any

[27140] —At what o’clock did you dine? he questioned of the slim form and

[27150] Literally astounded at this piece of intelligence Bloom reflected.

[27153] in the one train of thought. At his age when dabbling in politics

[27154] roughly some score of years previously when he had been a quasi aspirant

[27156] in retrospect (which was a source of keen satisfaction in itself) he

[27160] copper or pinning his faith absolutely to its dictums, some of which

[27163] trend of modern opinion (a partiality, however, which, realising his

[27164] mistake, he was subsequently partially cured of) and even was twitted

[27168] our friend at the gathering of the clans in Barney Kiernan’s so that

[27169] he, though often considerably misunderstood and the least pugnacious of

[27172] themselves were concerned, he was only too conscious of the casualties

[27173] invariably resulting from propaganda and displays of mutual animosity

[27175] fine young fellows, chiefly, destruction of the fittest, in a word.

[27180] (somebody having a temper of her own sometimes) and spoil the hash

[27186] or Sandycove suggestion so that he was in some perplexity as to which of

[27188] to avail himself to the full of the opportunity, all things considered.

[27196] by concluding, eschewing for the nonce hidebound precedent, a cup of

[27197] Epps’s cocoa and a shakedown for the night plus the use of a rug or

[27200] vast amount of harm in that always with the proviso no rumpus of any

[27205] bawdyhouse of retired beauties where age was no bar off Sheriff street

[27209] calculated to freeze the marrow of anybody’s bones and mauling their

[27211] accompaniment of large potations of potheen and the usual blarney about

[27217] point too of tender Achilles. Your god was a jew. Because mostly they

[27229] of the shanty who didn’t seem to.

[27231] —Yes, that’s the best, he assured Stephen to whom for the matter of

[27234] All kinds of Utopian plans were flashing through his (B’s) busy brain,

[27238] with the accent perfectly true to nature and a quantity of other

[27239] things, no necessity, of course, to tell the world and his wife from the

[27240] housetops about it, and a slice of luck. An opening was all was wanted.

[27243] well, by the way no harm, to trail the conversation in the direction of

[27246] The cabby read out of the paper he had got hold of that the former

[27250] to have some spark of vitality left read out that sir Anthony MacDonnell

[27252] effect. To which absorbing piece of intelligence echo answered why.

[27259] The sailor lugged out from a case he had a pair of greenish goggles

[27266] a bit of a literary cove in his own small way, staring out of seagreen

[27269] manner of speaking. The Arabian Nights Entertainment was my favourite

[27273] found drowned or the exploits of King Willow, Iremonger having made a

[27275] time (completely regardless of Ire) the keeper was intensely occupied

[27277] him as he muttered against whoever it was sold it, all of them who were

[27288] grand total of fourpence (the amount he deposited unobtrusively in

[27289] four coppers, literally the last of the Mohicans), he having previously

[27297] shelter or shanty together and the élite society of oilskin and company

[27298] whom nothing short of an earthquake would move out of their dolce far

[27303] of the moment. Why they put tables upside down at night, I mean

[27311] time apologetic to get on his companion’s right, a habit of his, by

[27324] kind of flesh of a different man approach him, sinewless and wobbly and

[27329] purposes wrapped in the arms of Murphy, as the adage has it, dreaming

[27330] of fresh fields and pastures new. And apropos of coffin of stones the

[27332] part of seventytwo out of eighty odd constituencies that ratted at the

[27333] time of the split and chiefly the belauded peasant class, probably the

[27336] So they turned on to chatting about music, a form of art for which

[27340] follow at the first go-off but the music of Mercadante’s Huguenots,

[27343] of first class music as such, literally knocking everything else into

[27344] a cocked hat. He infinitely preferred the sacred music of the catholic

[27347] thy protestant to be. He also yielded to none in his admiration of

[27355] a place of worship for music of a sacred character there was a generally

[27357] light opera of the Don Giovanni description and Martha, a gem in its

[27359] severe classical school such as Mendelssohn. And talking of that, taking

[27363] privilege he keenly appreciated, from the lips of Stephen’s respected

[27364] father, sung to perfection, a study of the number, in fact, which made

[27366] put query, said he didn’t sing it but launched out into praises of

[27367] Shakespeare’s songs, at least of in or about that period, the lutenist

[27378] brushing a long swathe of mire up so that with the noise Bloom was not

[27381] celebrity of that ilk, as it struck him, the two identical names, as a

[27388] —Our lives are in peril tonight. Beware of the steamroller.

[27390] They thereupon stopped. Bloom looked at the head of a horse not worth

[27392] near so that it seemed new, a different grouping of bones and even flesh

[27395] lord of his creation sat on the perch, busy with his thoughts. But such

[27396] a good poor brute he was sorry he hadn’t a lump of sugar but, as he

[27398] that might crop up. He was just a big nervous foolish noodly kind of a

[27400] take that mongrel in Barney Kiernan’s, of the same size, would be a

[27402] was built that way like the camel, ship of the desert, distilling grapes

[27403] into potheen in his hump. Nine tenths of them all could be caged or

[27404] trained, nothing beyond the art of man barring the bees. Whale with a

[27405] harpoon hairpin, alligator tickle the small of his back and he sees the

[27407] reflections anent the brutes of the field occupied his mind somewhat

[27408] distracted from Stephen’s words while the ship of the street was

[27412] in medias res, would have the greatest of pleasure in making your

[27413] acquaintance as she is passionately attached to music of any kind.

[27415] He looked sideways in a friendly fashion at the sideface of Stephen,

[27416] image of his mother, which was not quite the same as the usual handsome

[27425] by Jans Pieter Sweelinck, a Dutchman of Amsterdam where the frows come

[27426] from. Even more he liked an old German song of Johannes Jeep about

[27427] the clear sea and the voices of sirens, sweet murderers of men, which

[27436] A phenomenally beautiful tenor voice like that, the rarest of boons,

[27442] houses in the best residential quarters of financial magnates in a large

[27443] way of business and titled people where with his university degree of

[27451] matter of months and he could easily foresee him participating in

[27452] their musical and artistic conversaziones during the festivities of the

[27454] of the fair sex and being made a lot of by ladies out for sensation,

[27455] cases of which, as he happened to know, were on record—in fact,

[27457] to, could easily have. Added to which of course would be the pecuniary

[27459] tuition fees. Not, he parenthesised, that for the sake of filthy lucre

[27461] any lengthy space of time. But a step in the required direction it

[27468] Dublin’s musical world after the usual hackneyed run of catchy tenor

[27470] Just and their genus omne. Yes, beyond a shadow of a doubt he could with

[27474] the patrons of the King street house, given a backerup, if one were

[27476] with some impetus of the goahead sort to obviate the inevitable

[27477] procrastination which often tripped up a too much fêted prince of good

[27479] his own master, he would have heaps of time to practise literature in

[27480] his spare moments when desirous of so doing without its clashing with

[27483] that was the very reason why the other, possessed of a remarkably sharp

[27484] nose for smelling a rat of any sort, hung on to him at all.

[27493] of a person’s character, no pun intended.

[27495] The horse having reached the end of his tether, so to speak, halted and,

[27498] globes of turds. Slowly three times, one after another, from a full

[27503] through the gap of the chains, divided by the upright, and, stepping

[27504] over a strand of mire, went across towards Gardiner street lower,

[27505] Stephen singing more boldly, but not loudly, the end of the ballad.

[27512] their tête à tête (which, of course, he was utterly out of) about

[27513] sirens, enemies of man’s reason, mingled with a number of other topics

[27514] of the same category, usurpers, historical cases of the kind while the

[27517] simply sat in his seat near the end of lower Gardiner street and looked

17. Ithaca

[27532] Gardiner’s place by an inadvertence as far as the farther corner of

[27533] Temple street: then, at reduced pace with interruptions of halt, bearing

[27539] Of what did the duumvirate deliberate during their itinerary?

[27542] prostitution, diet, the influence of gaslight or the light of arc and

[27543] glowlamps on the growth of adjoining paraheliotropic trees, exposed

[27546] the study of medicine, the past day, the maleficent influence of the

[27549] Did Bloom discover common factors of similarity between their respective

[27554] of life, a cisatlantic to a transatlantic place of residence. Both

[27555] indurated by early domestic training and an inherited tenacity of

[27558] the alternately stimulating and obtunding influence of heterosexual

[27564] of dietary and civic selfhelp while Bloom dissented tacitly from

[27565] Stephen’s views on the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man in

[27566] literature. Bloom assented covertly to Stephen’s rectification of

[27567] the anachronism involved in assigning the date of the conversion of the

[27568] Irish nation to christianity from druidism by Patrick son of Calpornus,

[27569] son of Potitus, son of Odyssus, sent by pope Celestine I in the year

[27570] 432 in the reign of Leary to the year 260 or thereabouts in the reign

[27571] of Cormac MacArt († 266 A.D.), suffocated by imperfect deglutition of

[27573] ascribed to gastric inanition and certain chemical compounds of varying

[27574] degrees of adulteration and alcoholic strength, accelerated by mental

[27575] exertion and the velocity of rapid circular motion in a relaxing

[27582] The influence of gaslight or electric light on the growth of adjoining

[27595] railway carriages of suburban lines. In 1888 frequently with major Brian

[27607] of the converse domain of interindividual relations.

[27617] At the housesteps of the 4th of the equidifferent uneven numbers, number

[27619] of his trousers to obtain his latchkey.

[27623] It was in the corresponding pocket of the trousers which he had worn on

[27640] the lower union of rails and stiles, lowered his body gradually by its

[27641] length of five feet nine inches and a half to within two feet ten inches

[27642] of the area pavement and allowed his body to move freely in space by

[27644] the impact of the fall.

[27648] By his body’s known weight of eleven stone and four pounds in

[27650] periodical selfweighing in the premises of Francis Froedman,

[27651] pharmaceutical chemist of 19 Frederick street, north, on the last feast

[27662] at its freely moving flange and by leverage of the first kind applied

[27669] What discrete succession of images did Stephen meanwhile perceive?

[27672] kitchen panes a man regulating a gasflame of 14 CP, a man lighting a

[27673] candle of 1 CP, a man removing in turn each of his two boots, a man

[27678] After a lapse of four minutes the glimmer of his candle was discernible

[27681] of the doorway the man reappeared without his hat, with his candle.

[27696] necessary, knelt on one knee, composed in the grate a pyre of crosslaid

[27698] of best Abram coal at twentyone shillings a ton from the yard of Messrs

[27699] Flower and M’Donald of 14 D’Olier street, kindled it at three

[27700] projecting points of paper with one ignited lucifer match, thereby

[27702] carbon and hydrogen elements to enter into free union with the oxygen of

[27705] Of what similar apparitions did Stephen think?

[27707] Of others elsewhere in other times who, kneeling on one knee or on two,

[27708] had kindled fires for him, of Brother Michael in the infirmary of the

[27709] college of the Society of Jesus at Clongowes Wood, Sallins, in the

[27710] county of Kildare: of his father, Simon Dedalus, in an unfurnished room

[27711] of his first residence in Dublin, number thirteen Fitzgibbon street:

[27712] of his godmother Miss Kate Morkan in the house of her dying sister Miss

[27713] Julia Morkan at 15 Usher’s Island: of his aunt Sara, wife of Richie

[27714] (Richard) Goulding, in the kitchen of their lodgings at 62 Clanbrassil

[27715] street: of his mother Mary, wife of Simon Dedalus, in the kitchen of

[27716] number twelve North Richmond street on the morning of the feast of

[27717] Saint Francis Xavier 1898: of the dean of studies, Father Butt, in the

[27718] physics’ theatre of university College, 16 Stephen’s Green, north:

[27719] of his sister Dilly (Delia) in his father’s house in Cabra.

[27721] What did Stephen see on raising his gaze to the height of a yard from

[27724] Under a row of five coiled spring housebells a curvilinear rope,

[27727] folded unattached consecutively in adjacent rectangles and one pair of

[27730] extremities and the third at their point of junction.

[27745] Yes. From Roundwood reservoir in county Wicklow of a cubic capacity of

[27746] 2400 million gallons, percolating through a subterranean aqueduct of

[27747] filter mains of single and double pipeage constructed at an initial

[27748] plant cost of £ 5 per linear yard by way of the Dargle, Rathdown, Glen

[27749] of the Downs and Callowhill to the 26 acre reservoir at Stillorgan, a

[27750] distance of 22 statute miles, and thence, through a system of relieving

[27751] tanks, by a gradient of 250 feet to the city boundary at Eustace bridge,

[27753] supply of 12 1/2 million gallons the water had fallen below the sill of

[27755] engineer, Mr Spencer Harty, C. E., on the instructions of the waterworks

[27756] committee had prohibited the use of municipal water for purposes other

[27757] than those of consumption (envisaging the possibility of recourse being

[27758] had to the impotable water of the Grand and Royal canals as in 1893)

[27760] of 15 gallons per day per pauper supplied through a 6 inch meter, had

[27761] been convicted of a wastage of 20,000 gallons per night by a reading of

[27762] their meter on the affirmation of the law agent of the corporation, Mr

[27763] Ignatius Rice, solicitor, thereby acting to the detriment of another

[27764] section of the public, selfsupporting taxpayers, solvent, sound.

[27766] What in water did Bloom, waterlover, drawer of water, watercarrier,

[27770] in seeking its own level: its vastness in the ocean of Mercator’s

[27771] projection: its unplumbed profundity in the Sundam trench of the Pacific

[27772] exceeding 8000 fathoms: the restlessness of its waves and surface

[27773] particles visiting in turn all points of its seaboard: the independence

[27774] of its units: the variability of states of sea: its hydrostatic

[27778] its preponderance of 3 to 1 over the dry land of the globe: its

[27780] below the subequatorial tropic of Capricorn: the multisecular stability

[27781] of its primeval basin: its luteofulvous bed: its capacity to dissolve

[27782] and hold in solution all soluble substances including millions of

[27783] tons of the most precious metals: its slow erosions of peninsulas and

[27784] islands, its persistent formation of homothetic islands, peninsulas

[27787] its gradation of colours in the torrid and temperate and frigid zones:

[27797] gate, saturation of air, distillation of dew: the simplicity of its

[27798] composition, two constituent parts of hydrogen with one constituent part

[27799] of oxygen: its healing virtues: its buoyancy in the waters of the Dead

[27804] hail: its strength in rigid hydrants: its variety of forms in loughs

[27807] arms of sea: its solidity in glaciers, icebergs, icefloes: its docility

[27813] numerically, if not literally, the inhabitants of the globe: its

[27814] ubiquity as constituting 90 % of the human body: the noxiousness of its

[27821] To wash his soiled hands with a partially consumed tablet of

[27832] of October of the preceding year), disliking the aqueous substances of

[27833] glass and crystal, distrusting aquacities of thought and language.

[27835] What impeded Bloom from giving Stephen counsels of hygiene and

[27837] preliminary wetting of the head and contraction of the muscles with

[27838] rapid splashing of the face and neck and thoracic and epigastric region

[27839] in case of sea or river bathing, the parts of the human anatomy most

[27840] sensitive to cold being the nape, stomach and thenar or sole of foot?

[27842] The incompatibility of aquacity with the erratic originality of genius.

[27846] Dietary: concerning the respective percentage of protein and caloric

[27847] energy in bacon, salt ling and butter, the absence of the former in the

[27848] lastnamed and the abundance of the latter in the firstnamed.

[27850] Which seemed to the host to be the predominant qualities of his guest?

[27852] Confidence in himself, an equal and opposite power of abandonment and

[27855] What concomitant phenomenon took place in the vessel of liquid by the

[27856] agency of fire?

[27858] The phenomenon of ebullition. Fanned by a constant updraught of

[27860] communicated from the faggots of precombustible fuel to polyhedral

[27861] masses of bituminous coal, containing in compressed mineral form the

[27862] foliated fossilised decidua of primeval forests which had in turn

[27863] derived their vegetative existence from the sun, primal source of heat

[27865] ether. Heat (convected), a mode of motion developed by such

[27867] of calorification to the liquid contained in the vessel, being radiated

[27868] through the uneven unpolished dark surface of the metal iron, in part

[27870] the temperature of the water from normal to boiling point, a rise in

[27871] temperature expressible as the result of an expenditure of 72 thermal

[27872] units needed to raise 1 pound of water from 50° to 212° Fahrenheit.

[27874] What announced the accomplishment of this rise in temperature?

[27876] A double falciform ejection of water vapour from under the kettlelid at

[27888] quiet reflections upon the course of the day: a cleaner sensation when

[27892] shoot, with thought of aught he sought though fraught with nought might

[27893] cause a faster rate of shaving and a nick on which incision plaster with

[27896] Why did absence of light disturb him less than presence of noise?

[27898] Because of the surety of the sense of touch in his firm full masculine

[27909] What lay under exposure on the lower, middle and upper shelves of the

[27914] moustachecup, uninverted, and saucer of Crown Derby, four white

[27916] copper, and a phial of aromatic (violet) comfits. On the middle shelf

[27917] a chipped eggcup containing pepper, a drum of table salt, four

[27918] conglomerated black olives in oleaginous paper, an empty pot of

[27920] containing one Jersey pear, a halfempty bottle of William Gilbey and

[27921] Co’s white invalid port, half disrobed of its swathe of coralpink

[27922] tissue paper, a packet of Epps’s soluble cocoa, five ounces of Anne

[27926] bisected with augmented surface and more redolent, a jar of Irish Model

[27927] Dairy’s cream, a jug of brown crockery containing a naggin and a

[27928] quarter of soured adulterated milk, converted by heat into water,

[27932] halfpenny and a small dish containing a slice of fresh ribsteak. On

[27933] the upper shelf a battery of jamjars (empty) of various sizes and

[27936] What attracted his attention lying on the apron of the dresser?

[27938] Four polygonal fragments of two lacerated scarlet betting tickets,

[27943] Reminiscences of coincidences, truth stranger than fiction,

[27944] preindicative of the result of the Gold Cup flat handicap, the official

[27945] and definitive result of which he had read in the Evening Telegraph,

[27948] Where had previous intimations of the result, effected or projected,

[27955] Elijah, restorer of the church in Zion: in Lincoln place outside the

[27956] premises of F. W. Sweny and Co (Limited), dispensing chemists, when,

[27958] perused and restituted the copy of the current issue of the Freeman’s

[27961] edifice of the Turkish and Warm Baths, 11 Leinster street, with the

[27962] light of inspiration shining in his countenance and bearing in his arms

[27963] the secret of the race, graven in the language of prediction.

[27967] The difficulties of interpretation since the significance of any event

[27969] electrical discharge and of counterestimating against an actual loss

[27970] by failure to interpret the total sum of possible losses proceeding

[27991] What supererogatory marks of special hospitality did the host show his

[27994] Relinquishing his symposiarchal right to the moustache cup of imitation

[27996] he substituted a cup identical with that of his guest and served

[27998] viscous cream ordinarily reserved for the breakfast of his wife Marion

[28001] Was the guest conscious of and did he acknowledge these marks of

[28008] Were there marks of hospitality which he contemplated but suppressed,

[28012] The reparation of a fissure of the length of 1 1/2 inches in the right

[28013] side of his guest’s jacket. A gift to his guest of one of the four

[28019] Bloom, having the advantage of ten seconds at the initiation and taking,

[28020] from the concave surface of a spoon along the handle of which a steady

[28021] flow of heat was conducted, three sips to his opponent’s one, six to

[28028] literature of instruction rather than of amusement as he himself had

[28029] applied to the works of William Shakespeare more than once for the

[28030] solution of difficult problems in imaginary or real life.

[28034] In spite of careful and repeated reading of certain classical passages,

[28038] What lines concluded his first piece of original verse written by him,

[28039] potential poet, at the age of 11 in 1877 on the occasion of the offering

[28040] of three prizes of 10/-, 5/- and 2/6 respectively for competition by the

[28082] the anticipated diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria (born 1820, acceded

[28084] secondly, apprehension of opposition from extreme circles on the

[28085] questions of the respective visits of Their Royal Highnesses the

[28092] and concupiscence caused by Nelly Bouverist’s revelations of white

[28093] articles of non-intellectual, non-political, non-topical underclothing

[28095] difficulties of the selection of appropriate music and humorous

[28096] allusions from Everybody’s Book of Jokes (1000 pages and a laugh in

[28105] Stephen was 6. 16 years after in 1920 when Stephen would be of Bloom’s

[28107] Stephen 54 their ages initially in the ratio of 16 to 0 would be as 17

[28114] age of 70 Bloom, being 1190 years alive having been born in the year

[28116] that of Methusalah, 969 years, while, if Stephen would continue to live

[28123] The cessation of existence of both or either, the inauguration of a

[28124] new era or calendar, the annihilation of the world and consequent

[28125] extermination of the human species, inevitable but impredictable.

[28129] Two. The first in the lilacgarden of Matthew Dillon’s house, Medina

[28130] Villa, Kimmage road, Roundtown, in 1887, in the company of Stephen’s

[28131] mother, Stephen being then of the age of 5 and reluctant to give his

[28132] hand in salutation. The second in the coffeeroom of Breslin’s hotel

[28133] on a rainy Sunday in the January of 1892, in the company of Stephen’s

[28140] gratitude, in appreciatively grateful sincerity of regret, he declined.

[28142] Did their conversation on the subject of these reminiscences reveal a

[28145] Mrs Riordan (Dante), a widow of independent means, had resided in the

[28146] house of Stephen’s parents from 1 September 1888 to 29 December 1891

[28148] Arms Hotel owned by Elizabeth O’Dowd of 54 Prussia street where,

[28149] during parts of the years 1893 and 1894, she had been a constant

[28150] informant of Bloom who resided also in the same hotel, being at that

[28151] time a clerk in the employment of Joseph Cuffe of 5 Smithfield for the

[28152] superintendence of sales in the adjacent Dublin Cattle market on the

[28171] continual changes of the thoroughfare without, pedestrians, quadrupeds,

[28173] and round the rim of a round and round precipitous globe.

[28175] What distinct different memories had each of her now eight years

[28179] suppositious wealth, her lapses of responsiveness and incipient

[28180] catarrhal deafness: the younger, her lamp of colza oil before the statue

[28181] of the Immaculate Conception, her green and maroon brushes for Charles

[28192] front of a mirror so as to bring into play the various families of

[28194] relaxation and the most pleasant repristination of juvenile agility.

[28413] What instances of deficient mental development in his wife inclined him

[28414] in favour of the lastmentioned (ninth) solution?

[28416] In disoccupied moments she had more than once covered a sheet of paper

[28419] as to the correct method of writing the capital initial of the name of

[28420] a city in Canada, Quebec. She understood little of political

[28421] complications, internal, or balance of power, external. In calculating

[28422] the addenda of bills she frequently had recourse to digital aid.

[28423] After completion of laconic epistolary compositions she abandoned

[28424] the implement of calligraphy in the encaustic pigment, exposed to

[28425] the corrosive action of copperas, green vitriol and nutgall. Unusual

[28426] polysyllables of foreign origin she interpreted phonetically or by

[28430] What compensated in the false balance of her intelligence for these and

[28431] such deficiencies of judgment regarding persons, places and things?

[28433] The false apparent parallelism of all perpendicular arms of all

[28434] balances, proved true by construction. The counterbalance of her

[28435] proficiency of judgment regarding one person, proved true by experiment.

[28651] incitations of the hierarchy, the superstition of the populace, the

[28652] propagation of rumour in continued fraction of veridicity, the envy of

[28653] opulence, the influence of retaliation, the sporadic reappearance of

[28654] atavistic delinquency, the mitigating circumstances of fanaticism,

[28657] From which (if any) of these mental or physical disorders was he not

[28662] indefinite time incapable of moving or uttering sounds. From

[28673] of terror and had replied to the interrogations of two figures in night

[28676] What other infantile memories had he of her?

[28681] tlee: a doll, a boy, a sailor she cast away: blond, born of two dark,

[28689] line of lineage which, though interrupted, would continue at distant

[28692] What memories had he of her adolescence?

[28697] the South Circular road in the company of Elsa Potter, followed by an

[28698] individual of sinister aspect, she went half way down Stamer street and

[28699] turned abruptly back (reason of change not stated). On the vigil of the

[28700] 15th anniversary of her birth she wrote a letter from Mullingar, county

[28711] A temporary departure of his cat.

[28715] Similarly, because actuated by a secret purpose the quest of a new

[28716] male (Mullingar student) or of a healing herb (valerian). Differently,

[28729] in Stephen’s green amid inverted reflections of trees her uncommented

[28731] constancy of its permanence the locus of a somnolent prostrate fish (cf

[28733] issue and consequences of a famous military engagement she pulled a

[28734] plait of her hair (cf earwashing cat). Furthermore, silly Milly, she

[28735] dreamed of having had an unspoken unremembered conversation with a horse

[28737] tumblerful of lemonade which it (he) had appeared to have accepted (cf

[28745] animals, the possibility of aerial flight, certain abnormalities of

[28746] vision, the secular process of imbalsamation: 2) the principle of the

[28748] in terms of human or social regulation of the various positions of

[28749] clockwise moveable indicators on an unmoving dial, the exactitude of the

[28757] him a breakfast moustachecup of imitation Crown Derby porcelain ware.

[28765] What proposal did Bloom, diambulist, father of Milly, somnambulist, make

[28770] above the kitchen and immediately adjacent to the sleeping apartment of

[28774] of such an extemporisation?

[28776] For the guest: security of domicile and seclusion of study. For the

[28777] host: rejuvenation of intelligence, vicarious satisfaction. For the

[28778] hostess: disintegration of obsession, acquisition of correct Italian

[28783] eventuality of reconciliatory union between a schoolfellow and a jew’s

[28789] To what inconsequent polysyllabic question of his host did the guest

[28798] A statement explanatory of his absence on the occasion of the interment

[28799] of Mrs Mary Dedalus (born Goulding), 26 June 1903, vigil of the

[28800] anniversary of the decease of Rudolph Bloom (born Virag).

[28802] Was the proposal of asylum accepted?

[28806] What exchange of money took place between host and guest?

[28808] The former returned to the latter, without interest, a sum of money (£

[28815] To inaugurate a prearranged course of Italian instruction, place

[28816] the residence of the instructed. To inaugurate a course of vocal

[28817] instruction, place the residence of the instructress. To inaugurate a

[28818] series of static, semistatic and peripatetic intellectual dialogues,

[28823] public garden, the vicinity of a place of worship, a conjunction of two

[28824] or more public thoroughfares, the point of bisection of a right line

[28828] What rendered problematic for Bloom the realisation of these mutually

[28831] The irreparability of the past: once at a performance of Albert

[28833] particoloured clown in quest of paternity had penetrated from the ring

[28836] (the clown’s) papa. The imprevidibility of the future: once in the

[28837] summer of 1898 he (Bloom) had marked a florin (2/-) with three notches

[28838] on the milled edge and tendered it in payment of an account due to and

[28840] Canal, for circulation on the waters of civic finance, for possible,

[28853] Because at the critical turningpoint of human existence he desired to

[28854] amend many social conditions, the product of inequality and avarice and

[28861] from human law, as integral parts of the human whole: the necessity of

[28862] destruction to procure alimentary sustenance: the painful character of

[28863] the ultimate functions of separate existence, the agonies of birth and

[28864] death: the monotonous menstruation of simian and (particularly) human

[28865] females extending from the age of puberty to the menopause: inevitable

[28869] terror the basis of human mentality: seismic upheavals the epicentres

[28870] of which are located in densely populated regions: the fact of vital

[28871] growth, through convulsions of metamorphosis, from infancy through

[28877] more acceptable phenomena in the place of the less acceptable phenomena

[28885] incertitude of the void.

[28894] the unknown to the known through the incertitude of the void.

[28896] In what order of precedence, with what attendant ceremony was the exodus

[28897] from the house of bondage to the wilderness of inhabitation effected?

[28905] With what intonation secreto of what commemorative psalm?

[28910] What did each do at the door of egress?

[28914] For what creature was the door of egress a door of ingress?

[28920] the rere of the house into the penumbra of the garden?

[28922] The heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit.

[28925] companion of various constellations?

[28927] Meditations of evolution increasingly vaster: of the moon invisible in

[28928] incipient lunation, approaching perigee: of the infinite lattiginous

[28930] observer placed at the lower end of a cylindrical vertical shaft 5000

[28931] ft deep sunk from the surface towards the centre of the earth: of Sirius

[28933] and in volume 900 times the dimension of our planet: of Arcturus: of the

[28934] precession of equinoxes: of Orion with belt and sextuple sun theta and

[28935] nebula in which 100 of our solar systems could be contained: of moribund

[28936] and of nascent new stars such as Nova in 1901: of our system plunging

[28937] towards the constellation of Hercules: of the parallax or parallactic

[28938] drift of socalled fixed stars, in reality evermoving wanderers from

[28940] which the years, threescore and ten, of allotted human life formed a

[28941] parenthesis of infinitesimal brevity.

[28943] Were there obverse meditations of involution increasingly less vast?

[28945] Of the eons of geological periods recorded in the stratifications of the

[28946] earth: of the myriad minute entomological organic existences concealed

[28947] in cavities of the earth, beneath removable stones, in hives and mounds,

[28948] of microbes, germs, bacteria, bacilli, spermatozoa: of the incalculable

[28949] trillions of billions of millions of imperceptible molecules contained

[28950] by cohesion of molecular affinity in a single pinhead: of the universe

[28951] of human serum constellated with red and white bodies, themselves

[28952] universes of void space constellated with other bodies, each, in

[28953] continuity, its universe of divisible component bodies of which each was

[28954] again divisible in divisions of redivisible component bodies, dividends

[28960] Because some years previously in 1886 when occupied with the problem of

[28961] the quadrature of the circle he had learned of the existence of a number

[28962] computed to a relative degree of accuracy to be of such magnitude and

[28963] of so many places, e.g., the 9th power of the 9th power of 9, that, the

[28964] result having been obtained, 33 closely printed volumes of 1000 pages

[28965] each of innumerable quires and reams of India paper would have to be

[28966] requisitioned in order to contain the complete tale of its printed

[28967] integers of units, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands,

[28968] hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions,

[28969] billions, the nucleus of the nebula of every digit of every series

[28970] containing succinctly the potentiality of being raised to the utmost

[28971] kinetic elaboration of any power of any of its powers.

[28973] Did he find the problems of the inhabitability of the planets and their

[28974] satellites by a race, given in species, and of the possible social and

[28975] moral redemption of said race by a redeemer, easier of solution?

[28977] Of a different order of difficulty. Conscious that the human organism,

[28978] normally capable of sustaining an atmospheric pressure of 19 tons,

[28980] suffered with arithmetical progression of intensity, according as

[28981] the line of demarcation between troposphere and stratosphere was

[28985] adaptable and differently anatomically constructed race of beings might

[28988] an apogean humanity of beings created in varying forms with finite

[28991] vanities, to vanities of vanities and to all that is vanity.

[28993] And the problem of possible redemption?

[28997] Which various features of the constellations were in turn considered?

[28999] The various colours significant of various degrees of vitality (white,

[29000] yellow, crimson, vermilion, cinnabar): their degrees of brilliancy:

[29002] the waggoner’s star: Walsingham way: the chariot of David: the annular

[29003] cinctures of Saturn: the condensation of spiral nebulae into suns: the

[29004] interdependent gyrations of double suns: the independent synchronous

[29005] discoveries of Galileo, Simon Marius, Piazzi, Le Verrier, Herschel,

[29006] Galle: the systematisations attempted by Bode and Kepler of cubes

[29007] of distances and squares of times of revolution: the almost infinite

[29008] compressibility of hirsute comets and their vast elliptical egressive

[29009] and reentrant orbits from perihelion to aphelion: the sidereal origin of

[29010] meteoric stones: the Libyan floods on Mars about the period of the birth

[29011] of the younger astroscopist: the annual recurrence of meteoric showers

[29012] about the period of the feast of S. Lawrence (martyr, 10 August): the

[29014] the posited influence of celestial on human bodies: the appearance of a

[29015] star (1st magnitude) of exceeding brilliancy dominating by night and

[29017] incandescence of two nonluminous exsuns) about the period of the

[29018] birth of William Shakespeare over delta in the recumbent neversetting

[29019] constellation of Cassiopeia and of a star (2nd magnitude) of similar

[29020] origin but of lesser brilliancy which had appeared in and disappeared

[29021] from the constellation of the Corona Septentrionalis about the period

[29022] of the birth of Leopold Bloom and of other stars of (presumably) similar

[29024] from the constellation of Andromeda about the period of the birth of

[29025] Stephen Dedalus, and in and from the constellation of Auriga some years

[29026] after the birth and death of Rudolph Bloom, junior, and in and from

[29027] other constellations some years before or after the birth or death of

[29028] other persons: the attendant phenomena of eclipses, solar and lunar,

[29029] from immersion to emersion, abatement of wind, transit of shadow,

[29030] taciturnity of winged creatures, emergence of nocturnal or crepuscular

[29031] animals, persistence of infernal light, obscurity of terrestrial waters,

[29032] pallor of human beings.

[29040] suppositious apposition of one or more bodies equally of the same and of

[29041] different magnitudes: a mobility of illusory forms immobilised in space,

[29046] Was he more convinced of the esthetic value of the spectacle?

[29048] Indubitably in consequence of the reiterated examples of poets in the

[29049] delirium of the frenzy of attachment or in the abasement of rejection

[29050] invoking ardent sympathetic constellations or the frigidity of the

[29051] satellite of their planet.

[29053] Did he then accept as an article of belief the theory of astrological

[29056] It seemed to him as possible of proof as of confutation and the

[29058] verifiable intuition as to fallacious analogy: the lake of dreams, the

[29059] sea of rains, the gulf of dews, the ocean of fecundity.

[29068] invariability of her aspect: her indeterminate response to inaffirmative

[29071] incite to and aid delinquency: the tranquil inscrutability of her

[29072] visage: the terribility of her isolated dominant implacable resplendent

[29073] propinquity: her omens of tempest and of calm: the stimulation of her

[29074] light, her motion and her presence: the admonition of her craters, her

[29081] In the second storey (rere) of his (Bloom’s) house the light of a

[29082] paraffin oil lamp with oblique shade projected on a screen of roller

[29086] How did he elucidate the mystery of an invisible attractive person, his

[29095] Silent, each contemplating the other in both mirrors of the reciprocal

[29096] flesh of theirhisnothis fellowfaces.

[29102] of micturition reciprocally rendered invisible by manual circumposition,

[29108] The trajectories of their, first sequent, then simultaneous, urinations

[29110] of the bifurcated penultimate alphabetical letter, who in his ultimate

[29111] year at High School (1880) had been capable of attaining the point

[29112] of greatest altitude against the whole concurrent strength of the

[29114] ultimate hours of the previous day had augmented by diuretic consumption

[29118] invisible audible collateral organ of the other?

[29120] To Bloom: the problems of irritability, tumescence, rigidity,

[29123] To Stephen: the problem of the sacerdotal integrity of Jesus circumcised

[29124] (1 January, holiday of obligation to hear mass and abstain from

[29126] prepuce, the carnal bridal ring of the holy Roman catholic apostolic

[29127] church, conserved in Calcata, were deserving of simple hyperduly or of

[29128] the fourth degree of latria accorded to the abscission of such divine

[29134] from Vega in the Lyre above the zenith beyond the stargroup of the Tress

[29135] of Berenice towards the zodiacal sign of Leo.

[29140] By inserting the barrel of an arruginated male key in the hole of an

[29141] unstable female lock, obtaining a purchase on the bow of the key and

[29146] How did they take leave, one of the other, in separation?

[29148] Standing perpendicular at the same door and on different sides of its

[29149] base, the lines of their valedictory arms, meeting at any point and

[29150] forming any angle less than the sum of two right angles.

[29152] What sound accompanied the union of their tangent, the disunion of their

[29155] The sound of the peal of the hour of the night by the chime of the bells

[29156] in the church of Saint George.

[29158] What echoes of that sound were by both and each heard?

[29168] Where were the several members of the company which with Bloom that day

[29169] at the bidding of that peal had travelled from Sandymount in the south

[29179] The double reverberation of retreating feet on the heavenborn earth, the

[29180] double vibration of a jew’s harp in the resonant lane.

[29184] The cold of interstellar space, thousands of degrees below freezing

[29185] point or the absolute zero of Fahrenheit, Centigrade or Réaumur: the

[29186] incipient intimations of proximate dawn.

[29188] Of what did bellchime and handtouch and footstep and lonechill remind

[29191] Of companions now in various manners in different places defunct: Percy

[29197] What prospect of what phenomena inclined him to remain?

[29199] The disparition of three final stars, the diffusion of daybreak, the

[29200] apparition of a new solar disk.

[29202] Had he ever been a spectator of those phenomena?

[29204] Once, in 1887, after a protracted performance of charades in the house

[29205] of Luke Doyle, Kimmage, he had awaited with patience the apparition

[29206] of the diurnal phenomenon, seated on a wall, his gaze turned in the

[29207] direction of Mizrach, the east.

[29212] various points, avine music, the isolated tread of an early wayfarer,

[29213] the visible diffusion of the light of an invisible luminous body, the

[29214] first golden limb of the resurgent sun perceptible low on the horizon.

[29241] from right and left of the ingleside to the position originally occupied

[29248] irregular fringe of a rectangular rug and now displayed on its amply

[29250] The other: a slender splayfoot chair of glossy cane curves, placed

[29252] to base being varnished dark brown, its seat being a bright circle of

[29257] Significances of similitude, of posture, of symbolism, of circumstantial

[29258] evidence, of testimonial supermanence.

[29265] discoloured ends of cigarettes, its musicrest supporting the music in

[29266] the key of G natural for voice and piano of Love’s Old Sweet Song

[29278] gradation of green: with pleasure, repeating the words and antecedent

[29293] of the candlestick disposing its unconsumed part in such a manner as to

[29298] The truncated conical crater summit of the diminutive volcano emitted a

[29307] gift of Luke and Caroline Doyle: an embalmed owl, matrimonial gift of

[29310] What interchanges of looks took place between these three objects and

[29313] In the mirror of the giltbordered pierglass the undecorated back of the

[29323] The image of a solitary (ipsorelative) mutable (aliorelative) man.

[29414] What reflections occupied his mind during the process of reversion of

[29417] The necessity of order, a place for everything and everything in its

[29418] place: the deficient appreciation of literature possessed by females:

[29419] the incongruity of an apple incuneated in a tumbler and of an umbrella

[29420] inclined in a closestool: the insecurity of hiding any secret document

[29421] behind, beneath or between the pages of a book.

[29425] Hozier’s History of the Russo-Turkish War.

[29427] What among other data did the second volume of the work in question

[29430] The name of a decisive battle (forgotten), frequently remembered by a

[29436] interval of amnesia, when, seated at the central table, about to consult

[29437] the work in question, he remembered by mnemotechnic the name of the

[29463] of the mammary prominences. He unbraced successively each of six minus

[29464] one braced trouser buttons, arranged in pairs, of which one incomplete.

[29471] He scratched imprecisely with his right hand, though insensible of

[29472] prurition, various points and surfaces of his partly exposed, wholly

[29473] abluted skin. He inserted his left hand into the left lower pocket of

[29510] Did the process of divestiture continue?

[29512] Sensible of a benignant persistent ache in his footsoles he extended

[29514] points caused by foot pressure in the course of walking repeatedly in

[29518] fore part of which the nail of his great toe had again effracted, raised

[29521] of the seat of his chair, picked at and gently lacerated the protruding

[29522] part of the great toenail, raised the part lacerated to his nostrils and

[29673] career, resident magistrate or justice of the peace with a family crest

[29674] and coat of arms and appropriate classical motto (Semper paratus), duly

[29680] What course of action did he outline for himself in such capacity?

[29683] the dispensation in a heterogeneous society of arbitrary classes,

[29684] incessantly rearranged in terms of greater and lesser social inequality,

[29685] of unbiassed homogeneous indisputable justice, tempered with mitigants

[29687] with confiscation of estate, real and personal, to the crown. Loyal to

[29688] the highest constituted power in the land, actuated by an innate love of

[29984] formerly of Szombathely in the kingdom of Hungary, hereby give notice

[29986] times to be known by the name of Rudolph Bloom.

[29991] An indistinct daguerreotype of Rudolf Virag and his father Leopold

[29992] Virag executed in the year 1852 in the portrait atelier of their

[29993] (respectively) 1st and 2nd cousin, Stefan Virag of Szesfehervar,

[29994] Hungary. An ancient haggadah book in which a pair of hornrimmed convex

[29995] spectacles inserted marked the passage of thanksgiving in the ritual

[29996] prayers for Pessach (Passover): a photocard of the Queen’s Hotel,

[30000] What fractions of phrases did the lecture of those five whole words

[30006] of me... das Herz... Gott... dein...

[30008] What reminiscences of a human subject suffering from progressive

[30011] An old man, widower, unkempt of hair, in bed, with head covered,

[30013] of grains and scruples as a palliative of recrudescent neuralgia: the

[30014] face in death of a septuagenarian, suicide by poison.

[30016] Why did Bloom experience a sentiment of remorse?

[30023] The prohibition of the use of fleshmeat and milk at one meal: the

[30024] hebdomadary symposium of incoordinately abstract, perfervidly concrete

[30025] mercantile coexreligionist excompatriots: the circumcision of

[30026] male infants: the supernatural character of Judaic scripture: the

[30027] ineffability of the tetragrammaton: the sanctity of the sabbath.

[30034] What first reminiscence had he of Rudolph Bloom (deceased)?

[30037] retrospective arrangement of migrations and settlements in and between

[30039] statements of satisfaction (his grandfather having seen Maria Theresia,

[30040] empress of Austria, queen of Hungary), with commercial advice (having

[30041] taken care of pence, the pounds having taken care of themselves).

[30043] consultation of a geographical map of Europe (political) and by

[30044] suggestions for the establishment of affiliated business premises in the

[30047] Had time equally but differently obliterated the memory of these

[30050] In narrator by the access of years and in consequence of the use of

[30051] narcotic toxin: in listener by the access of years and in consequence of

[30052] the action of distraction upon vicarious experiences.

[30054] What idiosyncracies of the narrator were concomitant products of

[30058] Occasionally he drank voraciously the juice of gooseberry fool from an

[30059] inclined plate. Occasionally he removed from his lips the traces of food

[30060] by means of a lacerated envelope or other accessible fragment of paper.

[30062] What two phenomena of senescence were more frequent?

[30064] The myopic digital calculation of coins, eructation consequent upon

[30069] The endowment policy, the bank passbook, the certificate of the

[30070] possession of scrip.

[30072] Reduce Bloom by cross multiplication of reverses of fortune, from which

[30073] these supports protected him, and by elimination of all positive values

[30076] Successively, in descending helotic order: Poverty: that of the outdoor

[30077] hawker of imitation jewellery, the dun for the recovery of bad and

[30079] that of the fraudulent bankrupt with negligible assets paying 1/4d

[30080] in the £, sandwichman, distributor of throwaways, nocturnal vagrant,

[30083] public laughingstock seated on bench of public park under discarded

[30084] perforated umbrella. Destitution: the inmate of Old Man’s House (Royal

[30085] Hospital), Kilmainham, the inmate of Simpson’s Hospital for reduced

[30086] but respectable men permanently disabled by gout or want of sight.

[30087] Nadir of misery: the aged impotent disfranchised ratesupported moribund

[30092] The unsympathetic indifference of previously amiable females, the

[30093] contempt of muscular males, the acceptance of fragments of bread,

[30094] the simulated ignorance of casual acquaintances, the latration of

[30095] illegitimate unlicensed vagabond dogs, the infantile discharge of

[30101] By decease (change of state): by departure (change of place).

[30105] The latter, by the line of least resistance.

[30109] Constant cohabitation impeding mutual toleration of personal defects.

[30110] The habit of independent purchase increasingly cultivated. The necessity

[30111] to counteract by impermanent sojourn the permanence of arrest.

[30118] which was absurd, to form by reunion the original couple of uniting

[30123] The attractive character of certain localities in Ireland and abroad,

[30124] as represented in general geographical maps of polychrome design or

[30125] in special ordnance survey charts by employment of scale numerals and

[30130] The cliffs of Moher, the windy wilds of Connemara, lough Neagh with

[30132] Fort Carlisle, the Golden Vale of Tipperary, the islands of Aran, the

[30133] pastures of royal Meath, Brigid’s elm in Kildare, the Queen’s Island

[30134] shipyard in Belfast, the Salmon Leap, the lakes of Killarney.

[30140] street, Dublin), Jerusalem, the holy city (with mosque of Omar and gate

[30141] of Damascus, goal of aspiration), the straits of Gibraltar (the unique

[30142] birthplace of Marion Tweedy), the Parthenon (containing statues of nude

[30145] O’Hara of the Camerons had slain the bull), Niagara (over which no

[30146] human being had passed with impunity), the land of the Eskimos (eaters

[30147] of soap), the forbidden country of Thibet (from which no traveller

[30148] returns), the bay of Naples (to see which was to die), the Dead Sea.

[30152] At sea, septentrional, by night the polestar, located at the point of

[30153] intersection of the right line from beta to alpha in Ursa Maior produced

[30154] and divided externally at omega and the hypotenuse of the rightangled

[30156] delta of Ursa Maior. On land, meridional, a bispherical moon, revealed

[30157] in imperfect varying phases of lunation through the posterior interstice

[30158] of the imperfectly occluded skirt of a carnose negligent perambulating

[30159] female, a pillar of the cloud by day.

[30161] What public advertisement would divulge the occultation of the departed?

[30164] missing gent about 40, answering to the name of Bloom, Leopold (Poldy),

[30176] Honour and gifts of strangers, the friends of Everyman. A nymph

[30177] immortal, beauty, the bride of Noman.

[30181] Ever he would wander, selfcompelled, to the extreme limit of his

[30183] planets, astronomical waifs and strays, to the extreme boundary of

[30186] the summons of recall. Whence, disappearing from the constellation of

[30188] constellation of Cassiopeia and after incalculable eons of peregrination

[30189] return an estranged avenger, a wreaker of justice on malefactors, a dark

[30191] surpassing those of Rothschild or the silver king.

[30199] What play of forces, inducing inertia, rendered departure undesirable?

[30201] The lateness of the hour, rendering procrastinatory: the obscurity

[30202] of the night, rendering invisible: the uncertainty of thoroughfares,

[30204] proximity of an occupied bed, obviating research: the anticipation of

[30206] rendering desirable: the statue of Narcissus, sound without echo,

[30212] The removal of nocturnal solitude, the superior quality of human

[30213] (mature female) to inhuman (hotwaterjar) calefaction, the stimulation of

[30214] matutinal contact, the economy of mangling done on the premises in the

[30215] case of trousers accurately folded and placed lengthwise between the

[30218] What past consecutive causes, before rising preapprehended, of

[30221] The preparation of breakfast (burnt offering): intestinal congestion and

[30222] premeditative defecation (holy of holies): the bath (rite of John): the

[30223] funeral (rite of Samuel): the advertisement of Alexander Keyes (Urim and

[30224] Thummim): the unsubstantial lunch (rite of Melchisedek): the visit to

[30229] period of time including a cardrive, a visit to a house of mourning,

[30231] exhibitionism (rite of Onan): the prolonged delivery of Mrs Mina Purefoy

[30232] (heave offering): the visit to the disorderly house of Mrs Bella Cohen,

[30240] The cause of a brief sharp unforeseen heard loud lone crack emitted by

[30241] the insentient material of a strainveined timber table.

[30251] of artificial light, silently suddenly comprehend?

[30256] collected articles of recently disvested male wearing apparel, silently,

[30259] A provisional failure to obtain renewal of an advertisement: to obtain

[30260] a certain quantity of tea from Thomas Kernan (agent for Pulbrook,

[30262] C.): to certify the presence or absence of posterior rectal orifice in

[30263] the case of Hellenic female divinities: to obtain admission (gratuitous

[30264] or paid) to the performance of Leah by Mrs Bandmann Palmer at the Gaiety

[30267] What impression of an absent face did Bloom, arrested, silently recall?

[30269] The face of her father, the late Major Brian Cooper Tweedy, Royal Dublin

[30270] Fusiliers, of Gibraltar and Rehoboth, Dolphin’s Barn.

[30272] What recurrent impressions of the same were possible by hypothesis?

[30274] Retreating, at the terminus of the Great Northern Railway, Amiens

[30277] infinity, with constant uniform retardation, at the terminus of the

[30280] What miscellaneous effects of female personal wearing apparel were

[30283] A pair of new inodorous halfsilk black ladies’ hose, a pair of new

[30284] violet garters, a pair of outsize ladies’ drawers of India mull,

[30285] cut on generous lines, redolent of opoponax, jessamine and Muratti’s

[30287] curvilinear, a camisole of batiste with thin lace border, an accordion

[30288] underskirt of blue silk moirette, all these objects being disposed

[30289] irregularly on the top of a rectangular trunk, quadruple battened,

[30297] Orangekeyed ware, bought of Henry Price, basket, fancy goods, chinaware

[30299] irregularly on the washstand and floor and consisting of basin, soapdish

[30305] He deposited the articles of clothing on a chair, removed his remaining

[30306] articles of clothing, took from beneath the bolster at the head of the

[30308] proper apertures of the nightshirt, removed a pillow from the head to

[30309] the foot of the bed, prepared the bedlinen accordingly and entered the

[30315] not his own): with solicitude, the snakespiral springs of the mattress

[30317] under stress and strain: prudently, as entering a lair or ambush of

[30318] lust or adders: lightly, the less to disturb: reverently, the bed of

[30319] conception and of birth, of consummation of marriage and of breach of

[30320] marriage, of sleep and of death.

[30324] New clean bedlinen, additional odours, the presence of a human form,

[30325] female, hers, the imprint of a human form, male, not his, some crumbs,

[30326] some flakes of potted meat, recooked, which he removed.

[30331] enter whereas he is always the last term of a preceding series even if

[30332] the first term of a succeeding one, each imagining himself to be first,

[30338] Assuming Mulvey to be the first term of his series, Penrose, Bartell

[30342] (Lord Mayor of Dublin), Christopher Callinan, Lenehan, an Italian

[30345] Hely, Alderman John Hooper, Dr Francis Brady, Father Sebastian of Mount

[30349] What were his reflections concerning the last member of this series and

[30350] late occupant of the bed?

[30360] members of the same series the same concupiscence, inflammably

[30362] desire, finally with fatigue, with alternating symptoms of epicene

[30372] Of a bodily and mental male organism specially adapted for the

[30373] superincumbent posture of energetic human copulation and energetic

[30374] piston and cylinder movement necessary for the complete satisfaction of

[30381] the agent and reagent of attraction. Because attraction between agent(s)

[30382] and reagent(s) at all instants varied, with inverse proportion of

[30384] reentrance. Because the controlled contemplation of the fluctuation of

[30385] attraction produced, if desired, a fluctuation of pleasure.

[30390] establishment of George Mesias, merchant tailor and outfitter, 5 Eden

[30400] As as natural as any and every natural act of a nature expressed or

[30402] with his, her and their natured natures, of dissimilar similarity.

[30403] As not so calamitous as a cataclysmic annihilation of the planet in

[30404] consequence of a collision with a dark sun. As less reprehensible than

[30406] under false pretences, forgery, embezzlement, misappropriation of public

[30407] money, betrayal of public trust, malingering, mayhem, corruption of

[30408] minors, criminal libel, blackmail, contempt of court, arson, treason,

[30410] practice of unnatural vice, desertion from armed forces in the field,

[30413] murder. As not more abnormal than all other parallel processes of

[30414] adaptation to altered conditions of existence, resulting in a reciprocal

[30422] outrage (copulation) yet the matrimonial violator of the matrimonially

[30423] violated had not been outraged by the adulterous violator of the

[30431] for damages by legal influence or simulation of assault with evidence of

[30433] influence, possibly. If any, positively, connivance, introduction of

[30434] emulation (material, a prosperous rival agency of publicity: moral,

[30435] a successful rival agent of intimacy), depreciation, alienation,

[30439] By what reflections did he, a conscious reactor against the void of

[30442] The preordained frangibility of the hymen: the presupposed intangibility

[30443] of the thing in itself: the incongruity and disproportion between

[30444] the selfprolonging tension of the thing proposed to be done and the

[30445] selfabbreviating relaxation of the thing done: the fallaciously inferred

[30446] debility of the female: the muscularity of the male: the variations of

[30448] no alteration of sense of an aorist preterite proposition (parsed as

[30453] masculine agent) in the passive voice: the continued product of

[30454] seminators by generation: the continual production of semen by

[30455] distillation: the futility of triumph or protest or vindication: the

[30456] inanity of extolled virtue: the lethargy of nescient matter: the apathy

[30457] of the stars.

[30467] seminal warmth, reminiscent of secular families of curves of amplitude,

[30469] expressive of mute immutable mature animality.

[30768] they want out of you with that determined vicious look in his eye I had

[30769] to halfshut my eyes still he hasnt such a tremendous amount of spunk in

[30808] him go to her she of course would only be too delighted to pretend shes

[30812] plabbery kind of a manner like he did to me though I had the devils own

[30813] job to get it out of him though I liked him for that it showed he could

[30814] hold in and wasnt to be got for the asking he was on the pop of asking
