James, the former by his 1D Bizarre at 42 Georgia Street, South, the latter at his 6.5D shop and World's Fancy Fair and Waxwork Exhibition at 30 Henry Street, Admission 2D. Children 1D and the infinite possibilities hitherto unexploited of the modern art of advertisement, if condensed in trilateral, menoidal symbols vertically of maximum visibility defined, horizontally of maximum legibility deciphered, and of magnetizing efficacy to arrest involuntary attention to interest to convince to decide, such as K2 Kino's 11 trousers, House of Keys, Alexander J.

Such as never? What is home without plum tree's potted meat? Incomplete. With it an abode of bliss, manufactured by George Plumtree, 23 merchants quay Dublin, put up in four ounce pots and inserted by Concealer, Joseph P. Nanetti, M. P. Rotunda Ward, 19 Hardwick Street, under the obituary notices and anniversaries of deceases. The name on the label is Plumtree. A plum tree in a meat pot, registered trademark. Beware of imitations. Peat-Mott, Trumpley, Moot-Pat, Plumtru. Which example did he adduce to induce Stephen to deduce that originality, though producing its own reward, does not invariably conduce to success? His own ideated and rejected project of an illuminated show cart drawn by a beast burden in which two smartly dressed girls were to be seated, engaged in writing. What suggested scene was then constructed by Stephen? Solitary Hotel in Mountain Pass. Autumn Twilight. Firelit. In dark corner, young man seated. Young woman enters. Restless. Solitary. She goes to window. She stands. She sits. Twilight. She thinks. On solitary hotel paper she writes. She thinks. She writes. She sighs. Wheels and hooves. She hurries out. He comes from his dark corner. He sees his solitary paper. He holds it toward fire. Twilight. He reads solitary. What? In sloping upright and back hands. Queen's Hotel, Queen's Hotel, Queen's Hotel, Queen's Hotel. What suggested scene was then reconstructed by Bloom? The Queen's Hotel, Ennis County Clare, where Rudolph Bloom, Rudolph Virag, died on the evening of the 27 June 1886 at some hour unstated. In consequence of an overdose of monkshood, Akinite, self-administered in the form of a neurologic liniment composed of two parts of Akinite liniment, two one of chloroform liniment purchased by him at 10.20 a.m. on the morning of 27 June 1886 at the Medical Hall of Francis de Nehe, 17 Church Street, Ennis. After having, though not in consequence of having, purchased at 3.15 p.m. on the afternoon of 27 June 1886, a new boater straw hat, extra smart. After having, though not in consequence of having, purchased at the hour and in the place aforesaid, the toxin aforesaid, at the general drapery store of James Cullen for Main Street, Ennis. Did he attribute this homonymity to information or coincidence or intuition? Coincidence. Did he depict the scene verbally for his guest to see? He referred himself to see another's face and listen to another's words by which potential narration was realized and kinetic temperament relieved. Did he see only a small coincidence in the second scene narrated to him, described by the narrator as a piska site of Palestine or the parable of the plums? It, with the preceding scene and with others unnarrated but existent by implication to which add essays on various subjects or moral apathogens, e.g. my favorite hero or procrastination is the thief of time, composed during school years, seemed to him to contain in itself and in conjunction with the personal equation certain possibilities of financial, social, personal and sexual success, whether specially collected and selected as model pedagogic themes of cent per cent merit for the use of preparatory and junior grade students or contributed in printed form, following the precedent of Philip Bufoy or Dr. Dick or Heblins studies in blue to a publication of certified circulation and solvency or employed verbally as intellectual stimulation for sympathetic auditors, tacitly appreciative of successful narrative and confidently augurative of successful achievement during the increasingly longer nights gradually following the summer solstice on the day but three following Vitelect Tuesday, 21 June, S. Aloysius Gonzaga, Sunrise, 3.33 a.m. Sunset, 8.29 p.m. Which domestic problem, as much as, if not more than, any other frequently engaged his mind? What to do with our wives? What had been his hypothetical singular solutions? Parlor games. Domino's, Halema, Tiddlywinks, Spillikin's, Cup'n'Ball, Knapp, Spoil 5, Bezeek 25, Beggar My Neighbor, Drotts, Chess or Backgammon, Embroidery, Darning or Knitting for the Police-Aided Clothing Society, Musical Duets, Mandoline and Guitar, Piano and Flute, Guitar and Piano, Legal Scrivenery or Envelope Addressing, Bi-weekly visits to variety entertainments, commercial activity as pleasantly commanding and pleasing, obeyed mistress, proprietress in a cool dairy shop or warm cigar divan, the clandestine satisfaction of erotic irritation in masculine brothels, state-inspected and medically controlled social visits at regular infrequent prevented intervals and with regular frequent preventive superintendents to and from female acquaintances of recognized respectability in the vicinity, courses of evening instruction specially designed to render liberal instruction agreeable. What instances of deficient mental development in his wife inclined him in favor of the last mentioned ninth solution? In disoccupied moments, she had more than once covered a sheet of paper with signs and hieroglyphs which she stated were Greek and Irish and Hebrew characters. She had interrogated constantly at varying intervals as to the correct method of writing the capital initial of the name of a city in Canada, Quebec. She understood little of political complications, internal or balance of power, external. In calculating the addenda of bills, she frequently had recourse to digital aid. After completion of the conic apostillary compositions, she abandoned the implement of calligraphy in the encaustic pigment exposed to the corrosive action of copras, green vitriol and nut gold. Unusual polysyllables of foreign origin, she interpreted phonetically, or by false analogy or by both. Met him psychosis, met him pichosis, ileus, a mendacious person mentioned in sacred scripture. What compensated in the false balance of her intelligence for these and such deficiencies of judgment regarding persons, places and things? The false apparent parallelism of all perpendicular arms of all balances proved true by construction. The counterbalance of her proficiency of judgment regarding one person proved true by experiment. How had he attempted to remedy this state of comparative ignorance? Variously. By leaving in a conspicuous place a certain book open at a certain page by assuming in her, when alluding explanatorily, latent knowledge, by open ridicule in her presence of some absent other's ignorant labs. With what success had he attempted direct instruction? She followed not all. A part of the whole gave attention with interest, comprehended with surprise, with care repeated, with greater difficulty remembered, forgot with ease, with misgiving remembered, repeated with air. What system had provided more effective indirect suggestion implicating self-interest? Example, she disliked umbrella with rain. He liked woman with umbrella. She disliked new hat with rain. He liked woman with new hat. He bought new hat with rain. She carried umbrella with new hat. Accepting the analogy implied in his guest's parable which examples of post-exilic eminence did he adduce? Three seekers of the pure truth. Moses of Egypt, Moses Maamanides, author of more Nabuchan guide of the perplexed and Moses Mendelssohn of such eminence that from Moses of Egypt to Moses Mendelssohn there rose none like Moses Maamanides. What statement was made under correction by Bloom concerning a fourth seeker of pure truth by name Aristotle, mentioned with permission by Stephen that the seeker mentioned had been a pupil of a rabbinical philosopher, name uncertain. Were other apocryphal, lustrous sons of the law and children of a selected or ejected race mentioned? Felix Bartoldi Mendelssohn, composer. Rook Spinoza, philosopher. Mendoza, feudalist. Ferdinand LaSalle, reformer, dualist. What fragments of verse from the ancient Hebrew and ancient Irish languages were cited with modulations of voice and translation of texts by guests to host and by host to guest? By Stephen, Sul Sul Sul Arun Sul Go Sioczar Aegis Sul Go Suen Walk Walk Walk Your Way Walk in Safety Walk With Care By Bloom, Kefellok, Haraman, Rakatech, Mbad, the Zamatesh, Thy Temple Amid Thy Hair is as a slice of pomegranate. How was a glyphic comparison of the phonic symbols of both languages made in the substantiation of the oral comparison? Budget to position. On the penultimate blank page of a book of inferior literary style and tituled suites of sin produced by Bloom and so manipulated that its front cover came in contact with the surface of the table. With a pencil supplied by Stephen, Stephen wrote the Irish characters for G-E-D-M Simple and Modified and Bloom in turn wrote the Hebrew characters Gimel, Elif, Daleth, and, in the absence of Mem, a substituted quaff, explaining their erythmetical values as ordinal and cardinal numbers. Vidal Asset 3, 1, 4, and 100. Was the knowledge possessed by both of each of these languages, the extinct and the revived, theoretical or practical? Theoretical, being confined to certain grammatical rules of accidents and syntax and practically excluding vocabulary. What points of contact existed between these languages and between the peoples who spoke them? The presence of guttural sounds, diacritic aspirations, epenthetic and servile letters in both languages, their antiquity, both having been taught on the plain of Shinar, 242, years after the deluge in the seminary instituted by Phineas Farsai, descendant of Noah, progenitor of Israel, and ascendant of Heber and Hermon, progenitors of Ireland, their archeological, genealogical, hagiographical, exegetical, homilatic, toponomastic, historical and religious literatures comprised in the works of rabbis and coldies, Torah, Talmud, Mishnah and Gamara, Masar, Pentateuch, Book of the Duncao, Book of Ballymote, Garland of Houth, Book of Kells, their dispersal, persecution, survival and revival. The isolation of their synagogical and ecclesiastical rites in Ghetto, Esmeri Zabi, and Mass House, Adam and Eve's Tavern, the proscription of their national costumes in penal laws and Jewish dress acts, the restoration of Chana David of Zion and the possibility of Irish political autonomy or devolution. What anthem did Bloom chant partially in anticipation of that multiple ethnically irreducible consummation? Why was the chant arrested at the conclusion of this first distitch in consequence of defective nemotechnic? How did the chanter compensate for this deficiency by a paraphrasic version of the general text? In what common study did their mutual reflections merge? The increasing simplification traceable in the general text of the verse The increasing simplification traceable from the Egyptian epigraphic hieroglyphs to the Greek and Roman alphabets and the anticipation of modern synography and telegraphic code in the cuneiform inscriptions, somatic, and the virgular kinkakostate augum writing Celtic. Did the guest comply with his host's request? Doubly, by appending his signature in Irish and Roman characters. What was Stephen's auditive sensation? He heard, in a profound ancient mail on familiar melody, the cumulation of the past. What was Bloom's visual sensation? He saw in a quick young mail, familiar form, the predestination of a future. What were Stephen's and Bloom's quasi-simultaneous volitional quasi-sensations of concealed identities? Visually, Stephen's the traditional figure of hypostasis depicted by Johannes Damasconus Lenjulis Romanus and Epiphanius Monacus as Lucodermic Cezquipodalian with wine-dark hair. Auditively, Bloom's the traditional ascent of the ecstasy of catastrophe. What future careers had been possible for Bloom in the past, and with what exemplars? In the church, Roman, Anglican, or nonconformist, exemplars the very Reverend John Con-Me, S.J., the Reverend T. Salmon, D.D. provost of Trinity College, Alexander J. Dowie, at the bar, English or Irish, exemplars, Seymour Bush, K.C., Rufus Isaacs, K.C., on the stage modern or Shakespearean, exemplars, Charles Wyndham, High Comedian, Osmond Tyrol died 1901, exponent of Shakespeare. Did the host encourage his guest to chant in a modulated voice? A strange legend on an allied theme. Reassuringly, their place, where none could hear them talk, being secluded, reassured the decocted beverages, allowing for sub-solid residual sediment of a mechanical mixture, water plus sugar plus cream plus cocoa, having been consumed. Recite the first major part of this chanted legend. Little Harry Hughes and his school fellows all went out for to play ball, and the very first ball Little Harry Hughes played, he drove it over the Jews' Garden Mall, and the very second ball Little Harry Hughes played, he broke the Jews' windows all. How did the son of Rudolph receive this first part? With unmixed feeling, smiling, a Jew, he heard with pleasure and saw the unbroken kitchen window. Recite the second part, minor of the legend. Then out there came the Jew's daughter, and she, all dressed in green, come back, come back, you pretty little boy, and play your ball again. I can't come back, and I won't come back without my school fellows all, for if my master he did hear, he'd make it a sorry ball. She took him by the lily-white hand and led him along the hall until she led him to a room where none could hear him call. She took a pen-knife out of her pocket and cut off his little head, and now he'll play ball no more for he lies among the dead. How did the father of Millicent receive this second part? With mixed feelings, unsmiling, he heard and saw with wonder a Jew's daughter all dressed in green. Hence Stephen's commentary. One of all, the least of all, is the victim predestined. Once by inadventence, twice by design, he challenges his destiny. It comes when he is abandoned and challenges him reluctant and, as an apparition of hope and youth, holds him on resisting. It leads him to a strange habitation, to a secret infidel apartment, which, unimplacable, immolates him consenting. Why was the host, victim predestined, sad? He wished that a tale of a deed should be told of a deed not by him should by him not be told. Why was the host reluctant and resisting still? In accordance with the law of the conservation of energy. Why was the host, secret infidel, silent? He weighed the possible evidences for and against ritual murder. The incitations of the hierarchy, the superstition of the populace, the propagation of rumour and continued fraction of veridicity, the envy of opulence, the influence of retaliation, the sporadic reappearance of atavistic delinquency, the mitigating circumstances of fanaticism, hypnotic suggestion, and some namulism. From which, if any, of these mental or physical disorders was he not totally immune? From hypnotic suggestion. Once waking, he had not recognised his sleeping apartment. More than once, waking, he had been, for an indefinite time, incapable of moving or uttering sounds. From some namulism, once sleeping, he had risen, crouched and crawled in the direction of a heatless fire, and having attained its destination, their curled, unheeded, in night attire had lain sleeping. Had this latter, or any cognate phenomenon, declared itself in any member of his family, twice in Hall Street and in Ontario Terrace, his daughter Millicent Millie, at the ages of six and eight years, had uttered in sleep an exclamation of terror, and had replied to the interrogations of two figures in night attire with a vacant mute expression. What other infantile memories had he of her? 15 June 1889, a perilous newborn female infant, crying to cause and lessen congestion. A child, renamed Padney Sox, she shook with shocks her money box, countered his three free, money-penny buttons, one to Lou, to Lee. A doll, a boy, a sailor, she cast away. Blonde, born of too dark, she had blonde ancestry, remote, a violation. Herr Hauptmann Heinau, Austrian army, proximate, a hallucination, Lieutenant Mulvey British Navy. What endemic characteristics were present? Conversely, the nasal and frontal formation was derived in a direct line of lineage, which, though interrupted, would continue at distant intervals to more distant intervals to its most distant intervals. What memories had he of her adolescence? She relegated her hoop and skipping rope to a recess. On the Duke's lawn, and treated by an English visitor, she declined to permit him to make and take away her photographic image, objection not stated. On the south circular road in the company of Elsa Potter, followed by an individual of sinister aspect, she went halfway down Stammer Street and turned abruptly back, reason of change not stated. On the vigil of the 15th anniversary of her birth, she wrote a letter from Mollingar County Westmeath, making a brief allusion to a local student, faculty and year not stated. Did that first division, pretending a second division, afflict him? Less than he had imagined, more than he had hoped. What second departure was contemporaneously perceived by him similarly, if differently? A temporary departure of his cat. Why similarly, why differently? Similarly, because actuated by a secret purpose, the quest of a new male, Mollingar student or of a healing herb, Valerian. Differently, because of different possible returns to the inhabitants or to the habitation. In other respects, were there differences similar? In passivity, in economy, in the instinct of tradition, in unexpectedness, as, in as much as leaning, she sustained her blonde hair for him to ribbon it for her CF neck arching cat. Moreover, in the free surface of the lake in Stevens Green, amid inverted reflections of trees, her uncommented spit, describing concentric circles of waterings indicated by the constancy of its permanence, the locus of a somnolent, prostrate fish CF mouse-watching cat. Again, in order to remember the date, combatants, issue and consequences of a famous military engagement, she pulled a plate of her hair CF ear-washing cat. Furthermore, silly Millie, she dreamed of having had an unspoken, unremembered conversation with a horse whose name had been Joseph, to whom which she had offered a tumbler full of lemonade, which it, he, had appeared to have accepted CF hearth-dreaming cat. Hence, in passivity, in economy, in the instinct of tradition, in unexpectedness, their differences were similar. In what way had he utilized gifts, one, an owl, two, a clock, given as matrimonial auguries to interest and to instructor, as object lessons to explain, one, the nature and habits of over-Paris animals, the possibility of aerial flight, certain abnormalities of vision, the secular process of embalsemation, two, the principle of the pendulum exemplified in Bob, wheel gear and regulator, the translation in terms of human or social regulation of the various positions of clockwise moveable indicators on an unmoving dial, the exactitude of the recurrence per hour of an instant in each hour, when the longer and the shorter indicator were at the same angle of inclination, vitalis set. Five and five elevenths minutes passed each hour per hour in arithmetical progression. In what manners did she reciprocate? She remembered, on the 27th anniversary of his birth, she presented to him a breakfast mustache cup of imitation crowned derby porcelain wear. She provided, at quarter day or thereabouts, if or when purchases had been made by him, not for her, she showed herself attentive to his necessities, anticipating his desires. She admired a natural phenomenon, having been explained by him to her, she expressed the immediate desire to possess, without gradual acquisition, a fraction of his science, the moiety, the quarter, a thousandth part. What proposal did Bloom, Diambulist, father of Millie, some Nambulist, make to Stephen, Noctambulist, to pass and repose the hours intervening between Thursday proper and Friday normal, on an extemporized cubicle in the apartment immediately above the kitchen and immediately adjacent to the sleeping apartment of his host and hostess? What various advantages would or might have resulted from a prolongation of such an extemporization? For the guest, security of domicile and seclusion of study. For the host, rejuvenation of intelligence, vicarious satisfaction. For the hostess, disintegration of obsession, acquisition of correct Italian pronunciation. Why might these several provisional contingencies between a guest and a hostess not necessarily preclude or be precluded by a permanent eventuality of reconciliation between a school fellow and a Jewish daughter? Because the way to the daughter led through mother, the way to mother through daughter. To what inconsequent polysyllabic question of this host did the guest return a monosyllabic negative answer if he had known the late Mrs. Emily Sinekow accidentally killed at Sydney Parade railway station 14 October 1903? What in co-hate corollary statement was consequently suppressed by the host? A statement explanatory of his absence on the occasion of the interment of Mrs. Mary Dedalus, born Goulding, 26 June 1903, vigil of the anniversary of the decease of Rudolph Bloom, born Virag. Was the proposal of asylum accepted? Promptly, inexplicably, with immeccability, gratefully it was declined. To exchange of money took place between host and guest. The former returned to the latter, without interest a sum of money, one seven zero, one pound, seven shilling sterling, advanced by the latter to the former. What count proposals were alternately advanced, accepted, modified, declined, resated in other terms, re-accepted, ratified, reconfirmed? To inaugurate a pre-arranged course of Italian instruction, place the residence of the instructed. To inaugurate a course of vocal instruction, place the residence of the instructress. To inaugurate a series of static, semi-static, and peripatetic intellectual dialogues, places the residences of both speakers, if both speakers were resident in the same place. The ship hotel and tavern, six lower Abbey Street, W&E Connery Proprietors, the National Library of Ireland, 10 Kildare Street, the National Maternity Hospital, 2930 and 31 Hulls Street, a public garden, the vicinity of a place of worship, a conjunction of two or more public thoroughfares, the point of bisection of a right line drawn between their residences, if both speakers were resident in different places. What rendered problematic for Bloom, the realization of these mutually self-excuding propositions? The irreparability of the past, once at a performance of Albert Hangler's Circus in the Rotunda, Rutland Square, Dublin, an intuitive, party-colored clown in quest of paternity had penetrated from the ring to a place in the auditorium where Bloom, solitary, was seated and had publicly declared to an exhilarated audience that he, Bloom, was his, the clown's, papa. The imprevedability of the future, once in the summer of 1898, he, Bloom, had marked a florin, too, with three notches on the milled edge and tendered it, and payment of an account due to and received by J&T Davy Family Groters, one Charlemont Mall Grand Canal, for circulation on the waters of civic finance for possible circuitous or direct return. Was the clown Bloom's son? No. Had Bloom's coin returned? Never. Why would a recurrent frustration demore depress him? Because, at the critical turning point of human existence, he desired to amend many social conditions, the product of inequality and avarice and international animosity. He believed, then, that human life was infinitely perfectible, eliminating these conditions. These remain the generic conditions imposed by natural, as distinct from human law, as integral parts of the human whole, the necessity of destruction to procure elementary sustenance, the painful character of the ultimate functions of separate existence, the agonies of birth and death, the monotonous menstruation of simian and particularly human females, extending from the age of puberty to the menopause, inevitable accidents at sea, in mines and factories, certain very painful maladies and their resultant surgical operations, innate lunacy and congenital criminality, decimating epidemics, catastrophic cataclysms, which make terror the basis of human mentality, seismic upheavals, the epicenters of which are located in densely populated regions, the fact of vital growth through convulsions of metamorphosis from infancy through maturity to decay. Why did he desist from speculation? Because it was a task for superior intelligence to substitute other more acceptable phenomena in the place of the less acceptable phenomena to be removed. Did Stephen participate in his dejection? He affirmed his significance as a conscious rational animal proceeding syllogistically from the known to the unknown and the conscious rational regent between a micro and a macrocosm ineluctably constructed upon the insertitude of the void. Was this affirmation apprehended by Bloom? Not verbally, substantially. What comforted his misapprehension? That as a competent keyless citizen he had proceeded energetically from the unknown to the known through the insertitude of the void. In what order of precedence, with what attendant ceremony was the exodus from the house of bondage to the wilderness of inhabitation affected, lighted candle in stick borne by Bloom, diaconal hat on ash plant borne by Stephen? With what intonation secreto of what commemorative psalm? The 113th, Modus Peregrinas in exit to Israel de Egipto, Domus Jacob de Populo Barbaro. What did each do at the door of egress? Bloom set the candlestick on the floor. Stephen put the hat on his head. For what creature was the door of egress, a door of ingress, for a cat? What spectacle confronted them when they, first the host, then the guest, emerged silently, doubly dark from obscurity by a passage from the rear of the house into the penumbra of the garden. The heaven tree of stars hung with humid night-blue fruit. With what meditations did Bloom accompany his demonstration to his companion of various constellations? Meditations of evolution increasingly vaster of the moon invisible in incipient lunation approaching perigee of the infinite latidgenous, scintillating, uncondensed Milky Way, discernible by daylight by an observer placed at the lower end of a cylindrical vertical shaft 5,000 feet deep sunk from the surface toward the center of the earth. Of Sirius, Alpha in Canis Major, 10 light-years, 57 trillion miles, distant and in volume 900 times the dimension of our planet, of Arcturus of the procession of equinoxes, of Orion with belt and sextuple sun, theta and nebula in which 100 of our solar systems could be contained, of Morbund and of nascent new stars such as Nova in 1901, of our system plunging toward the constellation of Hercules, of the parallax or parallactic drift and so-called fixed stars, in reality ever-moving wanderers from immeasurably remote eons to infinitely remote futures in comparison with which the years 3 score and 10 of allotted human life formed a parenthesis of infinitesimal brevity. Were there averse meditations of involution increasingly less vast? Of the eons of geological periods recorded in the stratifications of the earth, of the myriad minut entomological organic existences concealed in cavities of the earth, beneath removable stones, in hives and mounds, of microbes, germs, bacteria, bacilli, spermatozoa, of the incalculable trillions of billions of millions of imperceptible molecules contained by cohesion of molecular affinity in a single pinhead, of the universe of human serum constellated with red and white bodies, themselves universes of void space constellated with other bodies, each in continuity, its universe of divisible component bodies of which each was again divisible in divisions of redivisible component bodies, dividends and divisors ever diminishing without actual division till if the progress were carried far enough, not nowhere was never reached. Why did he not elaborate these calculations to a more precise result? Because some years previously, in 1886, when occupied with the problem of the quadrature of the circle, he had learned of the existence of a number computed to a relative degree of accuracy to be of such magnitude and of so many places, e.g. the ninth power of the ninth power of nine, that the results having been obtained 33 closely printed volumes of 1,000 pages each of innumerable choirs and reams of India paper would have to be requisitioned in order to contain the complete tale of its printed integers of units, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions, the nucleus and the nebula of every digit of every series containing succinctly the potentiality of being raised to the utmost kinetic elaboration of any power of any of its powers. Did he find the problems of the inability of the planets and their satellites by a race given in species and the possible social and moral redemption of said race by a redeemer, easier of solution, of a different order of difficulty, conscious that the human organism normally capable of sustaining an atmospheric pressure of 19 tons when elevated to a considerable altitude in the terrestrial atmosphere suffered with arithmetical progression of intensity according as the line of demarcation between troposphere and stratosphere was approximated from nasal hemorrhage, impeded respiration and vertigo when proposing the problem for solution he had conjectured as a working hypothesis which could not be proved impossible that a more adaptable and differently anatomically constructed race of beings might subsist otherwise under Martian mercurial, venereal, Jovian, Saturnian, Neptunian or Uranian sufficient and equivalent conditions though an apogean humanity of beings created in varying forms with finite differences resulting similar to the whole and to one another would probably there as here inalternably and inalienably attached to vanities, to vanities of vanities and all that is vanity and the problem of possible redemption the final was proved by the major which various features of the constellations were in turn considered the various colors significant of various degrees of vitality white, yellow, crimson, vermilion, cinnabar, their degrees of brilliancy their magnitudes revealed up to and including the seventh their positions to wagon or star wall singham way of David, the annular sinctures of Saturn the condensation of spiral nebulae into suns the interdependent gyrations of double suns the independent synchronous discoveries of Galileo Simon Marius, Piazzi, Laverbière, Herschel, Gal the systematizations attempted by Bode and Kepler of cubes of distances and squares of times of revolution the almost infinite compressibility of Herschel Comets and their vast elliptical aggressive and reentrant orbits from perihelion to apelion the sidereal origin of meteoric stones the Libyan floods on Mars about the period of the birth of the younger astroscopist the annual recurrence of meteoric showers about the period of the feast of S.

Thomas www.validateyourlife.com Part 3 His, Blum's, logical conclusion having weighed the matter and allowing for possible error that it was not a heaven tree not a heaven grot, not a heaven beast not a heaven man that it was a utopia there being no known method from the known to the unknown and infinity renderable equally finite by the suppositious apposition of one or more bodies equally of the same and of different magnitudes a mobility of illusory forms immobilized in space remobilized in air a past which possibly had ceased to exist as a present before its probable spectators had entered actual present existence was he more convinced of the aesthetic value of the spectacle indubitably in consequence of the reiterated examples of poets in the delirium of the frenzy of attachment or in the abasement of rejection invoking ardent sympathetic constellations or the fragility of the satellite of their planet did he then accept as an article of belief the theory of astrological influences upon sub-lunary disasters it seemed to him as possible of proof as of computation and the nomenclature employed in its selenographical charts as attributable to verifiable intuition as to fallacious

The dispersion of three final stars, the diffusion of daybreak, the apparition of a new solar disk. Had he ever been a spectator of these phenomena? Once in 1887, after a protracted performance of charades in the house of Luke Doyle, Kimmich, he had awaited with patience the apparition of the diurnal phenomenon, seated on a wall his gaze turned to the east. He remembered the initial para phenomena, more active air, a matutinal, distant cock ecclesiastical clocks at various points, avine music, the isolated tread of an early wave error, the visible diffusion of the light of an invisible luminous body, the first golden limb of the resurgent sun perceptible low on the horizon. Did he remain? Deep inspiration he returned, re-traversing the garden, re-entering the passage, re-closing the door. With brief suspicion he re- assumed the candle, re- ascended the stairs, re- approached the door of the front room, hall floor, and re-entered. What suddenly arrested his ingress? The right temporal lobe of the hollow sphere of his cranium came into contact with a small but sensible fraction of a second later. A painful sensation was located in consequence of antecedent sensations transmitted and registered. Describe the alterations affected in the disposition of the articles of furniture. A sofa upholstered in prune plush had been translocated from opposite the door to the ingleside near the compactly furled union jack an alteration which he had frequently intended to execute. In late Majolica-topped table had been placed opposite the door in the place vacated by the prune plush sofa. The walnut sideboard, a projecting angle of which had momentarily arrested his ingress, had been moved from its position beside the door to a more advantageous but more perilous position in front of the door. Two chairs had been moved from right and left of the ingleside to the position originally occupied by the blue and white plush jack-a-topped table. Describe them. One, a squat stuffed easy chair with stout arms extended and back slanted to the rear which repelled in recoil had then upturned an irregular fringe of a rectangular rug and now displayed on its amply upholstered seat a centralized diffusing, diminishing discoloration. The other, a slender splay-foot chair of glossy cane curves placed directly opposite the former, its frame from top to seat and from seat to base being varnished dark-brown, its seat being a bright circle of white plated rush. What Significances Attached to These Two Chairs Significances of similitude, of posture, of symbolism, of circumstantial evidence, of testimonial supermenance. What occupied the position originally occupied by the sideboard? A vertical piano cadby with exposed keyboard, its closed coffin supporting a pair of long yellow ladies' gloves, and an emerald ashtray containing four consumed matches, a partly consumed cigarette and two discolored ends of cigarettes, its music rests supporting the music in the key of G natural for voice and piano of Love's Old Sweet Song, words by G. Clifton Bingham composed by J. L. Malloy, sung by M. Antoinette Sterling, open at the last page with the final indications ad libitum, forte, pedal, and amato sustained pedal, ritorando, close. With what sensations did Bloom contemplate in rotation these objects? With strain elevating a candlestick, with pain feeling on his right temple a contused two-mesance, with attention focusing his gaze on a large, dull passive and a slender bright active, with solicitation bending and downturning the upturned rug fringe, with amusement remembering Dr. Malachi Mulligan's scheme of color containing the gradation of green with pleasure repeating the words an antecedent act of perceiving through various channels of internal sensibility the consequent and concomitant, tepid, pleasant diffusion of gradual discoloration. His next proceeding. From an open box on the majolica-topped table he extracted a black diminutive cone one inch in height, placed it on its circular base on a small tin plate, placed his candlestick on the right corner of the mantelpiece, produced from his waistcoat a folded page of Prospectus, illustrated entitled, Agendeth Natam, unfolded the same, examined it superficially, rolled it into a thin cylinder, ignited it in the candle flame, applied it when ignited to the apex of the cone till the latter reached the stage of rootelence, placed the cylinder in the basin of the candlestick disposing its unconsumed part in such a manner as to facilitate total combustion. What followed this operation? The truncated conical crater summit of the diminutive volcano emitted a vertical and serpentine fume redolent of aromatic oriental incense. What homothetic objects other than the candlestick stood on the mantelpiece. A timepiece of striated conimera marble stopped at the hour of 446 a.m. on the 21 March 1896, matrimonial gift of Matthew Dillon, a dwarf tree of glacial arborescence under a transparent bell shade, matrimonial gift of Luke and Carolyn Doyle, an embalmed owl, matrimonial gift of Alderman John Hooper. What interchanges of looks took place between these three objects in bloom? In the mirror of the gilt-boarded pierglass the undecorated back of the dwarf tree regarded the upright back of the embalmed owl. Before the mirror the matrimonial gift of Alderman John Hooper with a clear melancholy wise bright motionless compassionate gaze regarded bloom while bloom with obscure tranquil profound motionless compassionate gaze regarded the matrimonial gift of Luke and Carolyn Doyle. What composite asymmetrical image in the mirror then attracted his attention? The image of a solitary ipso-relative, beautiful aleorelative man. Why solitary ipso-relative? Brothers and sisters had he none yet that man father was his grandfather son. Why mutable aleorelative? From infancy to maturity he had resembled his maternal procreatrix. From maturity to senility he would increasingly resemble his paternal procreator. What final visual impression was communicated to him by the mirror? The optical reflection of several inverted volumes improperly arranged and not in the order of their common images with scintillating titles on the two bookshelves opposite. Catalog these books.

What Reflections Occupied His Mind during the process of reversion of the inverted volumes? The necessity of order, a place for everything and everything in its place. The deficient appreciation of literature possessed by females. The incongruity of an apple incuniated in a tumbler and of an umbrella inclined in a closed tool. The insecurity of hiding any secret document behind, beneath, or between the pages of a book. Which volume was the largest in bulk? Hosea's History of the Russo-Turkish War. What, among other data, did the second volume of the work in question contain? The name of a decisive battle forgotten. Frequently remembered by a decisive officer, Major Brian Cooper Tweedy, remembered. Why, firstly and secondly, did he not consult the work in question? Firstly, in order to exercise nanotechnic. Secondly, because after an interval of amnesia when seated at the central table about to consult the work in question, he remembered the nanotechnic, the name of the military engagement, plevna. What caused him consolation in his sitting posture? The candor, nudity, pose, tranquility, youth, grace, sex, counsel of a statue erect in the center of the table, an image of Narcissus, purchased by auction from P. A. Ren, nine bachelor's walk. What caused him irritation in his sitting posture? Inhibitory pressure of collar, size 17, and waistcoat, two articles of clothing superfluous in the costume of mature males and inelastic to the alterations of mass by expansion. How was the irritation allayed? He removed his collar with contained black neck tie and collapsible stud from his neck to a position on the left of the table. He unbuttoned successively in reversed direction, waistcoat, trousers, shirt, and vest along the medial line of braided black hairs extending in triangular convergence from the pelvic basin over the circumference of the abdomen and umbilical-fossicle along the medial line of nodes to the intersection of the sixth pectoral vertebrae thence produced both ways at right angles and terminating in circles described about two equidistant points right and left on the summits of the mammary prominences. He unbraced successively with one braced trouser buttons arranged in pairs of which one incomplete. What involuntary actions followed? He compressed between two fingers the flesh circumjacent to a cicatrix on the left infracostal region below the diaphragm resulting from a sting inflicted two weeks and three days previously 23 May 1904 by a bee. He scratched imprecisely with his right hand though insensible of purition various points and surfaces of his partly-explosed, wholly-abluted skin. He inserted his left hand into the left lower pocket of his waistcoat and extracted and replaced a silver coin one shilling, placed there presumably on the occasion 17 October 1903 of the interment of Mrs. Emily Sineko, Sydney Parade.

Did the process of divestiture continue? Sensible of a beignignant, persistent ache in his foot-soles, he extended his foot to one side and observed the creases, and salient points caused by foot pressure in the course of walking repeatedly in several different directions. Then, inclined, he disnoted the lace knots, unhooked and loosened the laces, took off each of his two boots for the second time, detached the partially moistened right sock through the four part of which the nail of his great toe had again effracted, raised his right foot, and, having unhooked a purple elastic sock suspender, took off his right sock, placed his unclothed right foot on the margin of the seat of his chair, picked at and gently lacerated the protruding part of the great toenail, raised the part lacerated to his nostrils, and inhaled the odor of the quick, then, with satisfaction, threw away the lacerated un-gul fragment. Why with satisfaction? Because the odor inhaled corresponded to other odors inhaled of other un-gul fragments picked and lacerated by master bloom, pupil of Mrs. Ellis's juvenile school, patiently each night in the act of brief genuflection and nocturnal prayer and ambitious meditation. In what ultimate ambition had all concurrent and consecutive ambitions now coalesced? Not to inherit by right of primogeniture, gravelkind or burrow English or possess in perpetuity an extensive domain of the number of acres, roots, and perches. Statute land measures valuation forty-two pounds of grazing turboree surrounded a baronial hall with gate lodge and carriage-drive, nor, on the other hand, a terrace house or semi-detached villa described as ru in erbe or qui cisana, but to purchase by private treaty in fee simple, a thatched bungalow-shaped two-story dwelling-house of southerly aspect surmounted by vane and lightning conductor, connected with the earth with porch covered with parasitic plants, ivy or Virginia creeper, hall door, olive-green with smart carriage finish and neat door-brasses stucco front with gilt tracery at eaves and gable rising, if possible, upon a gentle eminence with agreeable prospect from balcony with stone-pillar parapet over unoccupied and unoccupiable interjacent pastures and standing in five or six acres of its own ground at such a distance from the nearest public thoroughfare as to render its house-lights visible at night above and through a quick-set horn-beam hedge of topiary cutting situate at a given point not less than one statute mile from the periphery of the metropolis within a time limit of not more than fifteen minutes from tram or train-line, e.g. dundrum, south, or Sutton, north, both localities equally reported by trial to resemble the terrestrial poles in being favorable climates for thecidical subjects. The premise is to be held under fee-farm grant least nine hundred ninety-nine years the mesouage to consist of one drawing room with bay window, two lancets, thermometer affixed, one sitting room, four bedrooms, two servants' rooms, tiled kitchen with close range and scullery, lounge hall fitted with linen wall presses, tumed oak sectional bookcase containing the Encyclopedia Britannica and New Century Dictionary, transverse obsolete medieval and oriental weapons, dinner-gong, alabaster lamp, bowl pendant, vulcanite automatic telephone receiver with adjacent directory, hand-tufted axe-minster carpet with cream-ground and trellis border, lute-table with pillar and claw legs, hearth with massive fire-brasses and two mantle-chronometer clock guaranteed time-keeper with cathedral chime, barometer with hygrographic chart, comfortable lounge setes and corner fitments upholstered in ruby plush with good springing and sunk center, three banner Japanese screen and cuspidors, club style, rich wine-colored leather, gloss renewable with a minimum of labor by use of linseed oil and vinegar, and pyramidically prismatic central chandelier luster, bent wood perched with octane parrot, expurgated language embossed mural paper at ten per dozen with transverse swags of carmine floral design and top crowned frieze, staircase three continuous flights at successive right angles of varnished clear-grained oak treads and risers, Newell balusters and handrail with stepped-up panel dado dressed with camphorated wax, bathroom, hot and cold supply, reclining and shower, water closet on mezzanine provided with opaque, single-pane oblong window, tip-up seat, bracket lamp, brass tie rod and brace, arm rests, foot stool and artistic oleograph on interface of door, ditto plain, servants apartments with separate sanitary and hygienic necessaries for cook, general and between-made, salary rising by biennial, unearned increments of two pounds with comprehensive fidelity insurance, annual bonus one pound, and retiring allowance based on the 65 system after 30 years service, pantry, buttery, larder, refrigerator, out-offices, coal and wood cellarage with wine bin, still and sparkling vintages for distinguished guests if entertained to dinner, evening dress, carbon-binoxide gas supply throughout. What additional attractions might the grounds contain? As a denda, a tennis and fives court, a shrubbery, a glass summer house with tropical palms equipped in the best botanical manner, a rockery with water spray, a beehive arranged on humane principles, oval flower beds in rectangular grass plots, set with eccentric ellipses of scarlet and chrome tulips, blue cilas, crocuses, polyanthus, sweet William, sweet P. lily of the valley, bulbs obtainable from Sir James W. Mackie Limited, wholesale and retail seed and bulb merchants and nursery men, agents for chemical use. We have a lot of equipment, equipment and equipment for the home of a housekeeper, a chiseled, a kitchen-garden and a binary protected against illegal trespassers by glass topped mural enclosures, a lumber shed with padlock for various inventoryed implements. As, eel traps, lobster pots, fishing rods, hatchet, steel yard, grindstone, clawed paint pot, brush, hoe, and so on. What improvements might be subsequently introduced? A rabbitry and foul run, a dove coat, a botanical conservatory, two hammocks, ladies and gentlemen, a sundial shaded and sheltered by laburnum or lilac trees, an exotically harmonically accorded Japanese tinkle gatebell affixed to the left lateral gate post, a capacious water butt, a lawn mower with side delivery and grass box, a lawn sprinkler with hose. What facilities of transit were desirable? When city-bound frequent connection by train or tram from their respective intermediate station or terminal, when country-bound velocities, a chainless free-wheel roadster cycle with side basket-car attached, or draft conveyance, a donkey with wicker trap, or smart fightin' with good-working, solid-ungular cob, roan-gelding, 14 hands. What might be the name of your erected residence? Bloom Cottage. St. Leopold's. Flowerville. Could Bloom of Seven Echo Street foresee Bloom of Flowerville? In loose, all-wool garments with harris-tweed cap price £8.6 and useful garden boots with elastic gussets and watering can, planting aligned young fir trees, syringing pruning, staking, sowing hay seed, trundling a weed-laden pig at sunset amid the scent of new-mown hay, ameliorating the soil, multiplying wisdom, achieving longevity. What syllabus of intellectual pursuits was simultaneously possible? Snapshot photography, comparative study of religions, folklore relative to various amateury and superstitious practices, contemplation of the celestial constellations. What lighter recreations? Outdoor, rain and fieldwork, cycling on level macadamized causeways, a sense of moderately high hills, natation in secluded fresh water, and unmolested river-boating in secure wary or light-curricle with cage anchor on reaches free from weirs and rapids, period of estivation, vespertinal perambulation or equestrian circum-procession with inspection of sterile landscape, and contrastingly agreeable cottagers' fires of smoking turfs, period of hibernation. Indoor, discussion in tepid security of unsolved historical and criminal problems, lecture of unexpurgated exotic erotic masterpieces, house carpentry with toolbox containing hammer, all nails, screws, tin-tacks, gimlet, tweezers, bull-nose plane and turn screw. Might he become a gentleman farmer of field produce and livestock? Not impossibly, with one or two stripper cows, one pike of upland hay, and requisite farming implements, e.g., an end-to-end turn, a turnip pulper, etc. What would be his civic functions and social status among the country families and landed gentry? Arranged successively in ascending powers of hierarchical order, that of gardener, groundsman, cultivator, breeder, and at the zenith of his career resident magistrate or justice of the peace with a family crest and coat of arms, and appropriate classical motto, Semper Paratus, duly recorded in the court directory, Bloom, Leopold P. M.P. P.C. K.P. L.L.D., honoris causa, Bloomville, dumb drum, and mentioned in court and fashionable intelligence, Mr. and Mrs. Leopold Bloom have left Kingstown for England. What course of action did he outline for himself in such capacity? A course that lay between undue clemency and excessive rigor. The dispensation of a heterogeneous society of arbitrary classes incessantly rearranged in terms of greater and lesser social inequality. Of unbiased, homogeneous, indisputable justice tempered with mitigants of the widest possible latitude but extractable to the uttermost farthing with confiscation of estate real and personal to the crown. The highest constituted power in the land actuated by an innate love of rectitude, his aims would be the strict maintenance of public order, the repression of many abuses though not of all simultaneously, every measure of reform or retrenchment being a preliminary solution to be contained by a fluxion in the final solution. The upholding of the letter of the law, common, statute, and law-merchant against all traversers in coven and trespassers acting in contravention of bylaws and regulations, all resuscitators by trespass and petty larceny of kindlings of venvil rights, obsolete by despotude, all orotoned instigators of international persecution, all perpetuators of international animosities, all menial molesters of domestic conviviality, all recalcitrant violators of domestic cannubiality. Prove that he loved rectitude from his earliest youth. To master Percy up John at high school in 1880 he had divulged his disbelief in the tenets of the Irish Protestant Church to which his father Rudolf Virag, later Rudolf Bloom, had been converted from the Israelitic faith and communion in 1865 by the Society for Promoting Christianity Among the Jews, subsequently abjured by him in favor of Roman Catholicism at the epoch of and with a view to his matrimony in 1888. To Daniel McGrane and Francis Wade in 1882 during a juvenile friendship terminated by the premature emigration of the former, he had advocated during nocturnal perambulations the political theory of colonial, e.g. Canadian, expansion, and the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin expounded in the dissent of man and the origin of species. In 1885 he had publicly expressed his adherence to the collective and national economic program advocated by James Fintan LaLore, John Fisher Murray, John Mitchell, J. F. X. O'Brien, and others, the agrarian policy of Michael Davit, the constitutional agitation of Charles Stuart Parnell, MP for Cork City, the program of peace, retrenchment and reform of William E. Wirt Gladstone, MP for Midlothian, N.B., and the support of his political convictions had climbed up into a secure position amid the ramifications of a tree on Northumberland Road to see the entrance to February 1888 into the capital of a demonstrative torchlight procession of 20,000 torchbearers divided into 120 trade corporations bearing 2,000 torches in escort of the Marcus of Ripon and honest John Morley. How much and how did he propose to this country residents? As per prospectus of the industrious foreign acclimatized, nationalized, friendly, state-aided building society Incorporated 1874, a maximum of 60 pounds per annum being one-sixth of an assured income derived from gilt-edged securities, representing at 5% simple interest on capital of 1200 pounds, estimate of price at 20 years' purchase, of which to be paid on acquisition and the balance of annual rent, v's 800 pounds plus 2.5% interest on the same, repayable quarterly in equal annual installments until extinction by amortization of loan advanced for purchase within a period of 20 years, amounting to an annual rental of 64 pounds, head rent included, the title deeds to remain in possession of the lender or lenders with a saving clause envisaging forced sale for closure and mutual compensation in the event of an attracted failure to pay the terms assigned, otherwise the mesouage to become the absolute property of the tenant-occupier upon expiry of the period of years stipulated. What rapid but insecure means to opulence might facilitate immediate purchase. A private wireless telegraph which would transmit by dot and dash system the result of a national equine handicap flat or steeple-chase of one or more miles and furlongs won by an outsider at odds of 50 to 1 at 3 hours, 8 minutes p.m. at Ascot, Greenwich time, the message being received and available for betting purposes in Dublin at 2.59 done sync time, the unexpected discovery of an object of great monetary value, precious stone, valuable adhesive or impressed postage stamps, seven-shelling mauve imperforate Hamburg, 1866, forpence, rose, blue paper, perforate, great Britain, 1855, one frunk, stone, official, roulette, diagonal, surcharge Luxembourg, 1878, antique, dynastical ring, unique relic, in unusual repositories or by unusual means, from the air dropped by an eagle in flight, by fire amid the carbonized remains of an incendiated edifice, in the sea amid flotsam, lagoon and derelict, on earth, in the gizzard of a commestible fowl, a Spanish prisoner's donation of a distant treasure of valuables or species or bullion lodged with a solvent banking corporation, 100 years previously at 5% compound interest of the collective worth of 5 million pound sterling, a contract with an inconsiderate contractee for the delivery of 32 consignments of some given commodity in consideration of cash payment on delivery per delivery, at the initial rate of 1 shilling 4 pence to be increased constantly in the geometric progression of 2, 1 shilling 4 pence, 1 shilling 2 pence, 1 pence, 2 pence, 4 pence, 8 pence, 1 shilling 4 pence, 2 shillings 8 pence to 32 terms, a prepared scheme based on a study of the laws of probability to break the bank at Monte Carlo, a solution of the secular problem of the quadrature of the circle, government premium 1 million pound sterling was vast wealth acquirable through industrial channels, the reclamation of dunums of waste air and airy soil, proposed in the prospectus of ag and death natame, Blybstru Strass Berlin West 15 by the cultivation of orange plantations and melon fields and re-aphorestation the utilization of waste paper fels of sewer rodents human excrement possessing chemical properties in view of the vast production of the first vast number of the second and immense quantity of the third every normal human being of average vitality and appetite producing annually cancelling byproducts of water, a sum total of 80 pounds, mixed animal and vegetable diet to be multiplied by 4,386,035 the total population of Ireland according to the census returns of 1901 end of section 54 read by Richard Wallace 15 February 2011
