What ^|6course parallel courses^6| did Bloom and Stephen follow returning?

⁽³Starting united ^|6both^6| at normal walking pace from Beresford ^(errPlace placeº^err) they followed in the order named³⁾ Lower and Middle Gardiner streets and Mountjoy square, west⁽³. Then: then, at reduced pace³⁾, ^|6each^6| bearing left, Gardiner's place by an inadvertence as far as the farther corner of Temple street⁽³. Then^|6, north^6|: thenº, at reduced pace with interruptions of halt³⁾, bearing right, Temple street, north, as far as Hardwicke place. ^|3Approaching, disparate, at relaxed walking pace^{3| (3}They they³⁾ crossed ^|6both^6| the circus before George's church diametrically, the chord in any circle being less than the arc which it subtends.

Of what did ^|8they speak the duumvirate deliberate^8| during their itinerary?

Music, literature, Ireland, Dublin, Paris, friendship, woman, ⁽³prostitution,³⁾ diet, the influence of gaslight or the light of arc and glowlamps on the growth of adjoining ^|7paraheliotropic^7| trees, ⁽³exposed corporation emergency dustbuckets,³⁾ the Roman catholic church, ^|7ecclesiastical celibacy,^{7| |6}the Irish nation,^6| jesuit education, careers, the study of medicine, the past day,º ^|8the maleficent influence of the presabbath,^8| Stephen's ^|6breakdown collapse^6|.

Did Bloom discover ⁽³common factors of³⁾ similarity between their respective ⁽³like and unlike³⁾ reactions to experience?

Both were sensitive to artistic impressions,º musical in preference to plastic or pictorial. Both preferred a continental to an insular manner of
{u21, 737}
life⁽³, a cisatlantic to a transatlantic place of residence³⁾. Both indurated by early domestic training and an inherited tenacity of ^|7heterodox^7| resistance professed their disbelief in many ^|7accepted religions orthodox religiousº^7|, national, social and ethical doctrines. Both admitted the alternately stimulating and obtunding influence of heterosexual magnetism.
{u22, 620}

Were their views on some points divergent?

Stephen dissented openly from Bloom's views on the importance of dietary and civic selfhelp while Bloom dissented tacitly from Stephen's views on the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man in literature. ^|6Bloom ^|errassently assentedº^err| covertly to Stephen's rectification of the anachronism involved in assigning the date of the conversion of the Irish nation to christianity from druidism by Patrick son of Calpornus, son of Potitus, son of Odyssus, sent by pope Celestine I in the year 432 in the reign of Leary to the year ^|7288 260^7| or thereabouts in the reign of Cormac MacArt ^|7(† 266 a.d.)^7|,º suffocated by imperfect deglutition of aliment at Sletty and interred at Rossnaree.^6| The collapse which Bloom ascribed to gastric inanition and certain chemical compounds of varying degrees of adulteration and alcoholic strength^|3, accelerated by mental exertion and the velocity of rapid circular motion ^|ain a relaxing atmosphere^a|,^3| Stephen attributed to the reapparition of a matutinal cloud ^|4(perceived by both ^|aat from^a| two different points of observation, Sandycove and Dublin)º^4| at first no bigger than a woman's hand.

Was there one point ^|6on which their views^6| were equal and negative?

The influence of gaslight or electric light on the growth of adjoining ^|8paraheliotropic^8| trees.

Had Bloom discussed similar subjects during nocturnal perambulations in the past?

In 1884 with Owen Goldberg and Cecil Turnbull ^|3at night ^|aon public thoroughfares^a| between Longwood avenue and Leonard's corner and Leonard's corner and Synge street and Synge street and Bloomfield
{u21, 738}
^(errAvenue avenueº^err)3|. In 1885 with Percy Apjohn ^|3in the evenings^|8,^8| reclined against the wall between Gibraltar villa and Bloomfield house in Crumlin, barony of Uppercross^3|. In 1886 occasionallyº with casual acquaintances ^|3|aand prospective purchasers^a| on doorsteps, in front parlours, in ^|a|73(sup)r(sup)d third^7| class^a| railway carriages of suburban lines^3|. In 1888 frequently with major Brian Tweedy and his daughter Miss Marion Tweedy, together and separately ^|3on the lounge in Matthew Dillon's house in Roundtown^3|. Once in 1892 and once in 1893 with Julius ^|v3(Juda)^v3|º Mastiansky^|3, on both occasions in the parlour of his ^|6(Bloom's)^6| house in Lombard street, west^3|.

^|6What reflection concerning the irregular sequence of dates 1884, 1885, 1886, 1888, 1892, 1893, 1904 did Bloom make before their arrival at their destination?
{u22, 621}

He reflected that the progressive extension of the field of persona individual development and experience was regressively accompanied by a restriction of the converse domain of interindividual relations.

As in what ways?

From inexistence to existence he came to many and was as one received: existence with existence he was with any as any with any: from existence to nonexistence gone he would be by all as none perceived.^6|

What actionº did Bloom make on their arrival at their destination?

At the housesteps of ^|3the f 4th of the equidifferent uneven numbers,^3| number 7 Eccles street^|8,^8| he ^|8put inserted^8| his hand mechanically into the back pocket ^|6of his trousers^6| to ^|8get obtain^8| his latchkey.

Was it there?

It was in the corresponding pocket of the trousers which he had worn on the day but one preceding.
{u21, 739}

Why was he doubly irritated?

Because he had forgotten and because he remembered that he had reminded himself twice not to forget.

What ^|7were ^|8was were^8|7| then the ^|7alternatives ^|8alternative alternativesº^{8|7| |3}before the^|8, premeditatedly (respectively) and inadvertently,^8| keyless couple^3|?

To enter or not to enter. To knock or not to knock.

^|8His Bloom's^8| decision?

A stratagem. ^|3Resting his feet on the dwarf wall,^{3| |3}He he^3| climbed over the area railings, compressed his hat on his head, grasped ^|3the lower parts of two rails two points at the lower union of rails and stiles^3|, lowered his body gradually by its length of five feet nine inches and a half to within two feet ten inches of the area pavement^|6',^6'|º and allowed his body to move freely in space by separating himself from the railings and crouching in preparation for the impact of the fall.

Did he fall?

By his ^|3body's known^3| weight of ^|8ten eleven^8| stone and four ^|6ounces pounds^6| in avoirdupois measure, as certified by the graduated machine for periodical selfweighing in the premises of Francis Froedmanº, pharmaceutical chemist of 19 Frederick street, north, on the last feast of the Ascension, to wit, the twelfth day of May of the
{u22, 622}
^|8bissextile^8| year one thousand nine hundred and four of the christian eraº ^|8(jewish era five thousand six hundred and sixtyfour, mohammadan era one thousand three hundred and twentytwo), golden number 5, epact 13, solar cycle 9, dominical letters C B, Roman indicationº 2, Julian period 6617, MXMIVº^8|.

Did he rise uninjured ^|3by concussion^3|?

^|3Regaining new stable equilibrium^{3| |3}He he^3| rose uninjured though ^|8shocked concussed^8| by the impact, raised the latch of the area door by ^|3the exertion of force ^|aat its ^|6free arm freely moving^{6| |6}flange^6|a| and by^3| leverage ^|3|8of the
{u21, 740}
first kind^8| applied ^|ato its free arm^a| at its fulcrum^3|,º ^|3entered gained ^|6retarded^6| access to^3| the kitchen through the ^|3subadjacent^3| scullery, ignited a lucifer match by friction, set free inflammable coal gas by turning on the ventcock, lit a high flame which, by regulating, he reduced to quiescent candescence and lit finally a portable candle.

^|3Where was Stephen meanwhile? What discrete succession of images did Stephen meanwhile perceive?^3|

Reclined against the area railings he perceived through the transparent kitchen panes a man regulating a gasflame ^|6of 14 CP^6|, a man lighting a candle ^|7of 1 CPº^7|, a man removing in turn each of his two boots, a man leaving the kitchen holding a candleº.

Did the man reappear elsewhere?

After a lapse of four minutes the glimmer of his candle was discernible through the ^|6semitransparent^{6| |8}semicircular^8| glass fanlight over the halldoor. The halldoor turned gradually on its hinges. In the open space of the doorway the man reappeared without his hat, with his candle.

Did Stephen obey his sign?

Yes, entering softly, he helped to close and chain the door and followed softly along the hallway the man's back and ^|3listed feet and lighted^3| candle past a lighted crevice of doorway on the left and carefully down a turning staircase of more than five steps into the kitchen of Bloom's house.

What did Bloom do?

He extinguished the candle by a sharp ^|3ejection expiration^3| of breath upon its flame, drew two spoonseat deal chairs to the hearthstone, one for Stephen with ^|7his its^7| back to the area window, the other for himself when necessary, knelt on one knee, composed in the grate a pyre of crosslaid resintipped sticks and various coloured papers and irregular polygons of best Abram coal at twentyone shillings a ton from the yard of
{u21, 741}
Messrs Flower and M'Donald of ^|37 14^3| D'Olier
{u22, 623}
street, kindled it at three projecting points of paper with one ignited ^|8wooden lucifer^8| match^|8, thu thereby releasing the potential energy contained in the fuel by allowing its carbon and hydrogen elements to enter into free union with the oxygen of the air^8|.

Of what similar apparitions did Stephen think?

Of others elsewhere in other times who, kneeling on one knee or on two, had kindled fires for him, of Brother Michael in the infirmary of the college of the Society of Jesus at Clongowes Wood^|8, Sallins,^8| in the county of Kildare^|6,:^6| of his father, Simon Dedalus, in ^|6the an^6| unfurnished room of his first residence in Dublin, number thirteen Fitzgibbon street^|6,:^6| of his godmother Miss Kate Morkan in the house of her dying sister Miss Julia Morkan at 15 Usher's Island^|6,:^{6| |8}of his aunt Sara, wife of Richie (Richard Goulding) in the kitchen of their lodgings at 62 Clanbrassil street,^8| of his mother ^|8Mary, wife of Simon Dedalus,^8| inº the kitchen of number twelve North Richmond street on the morning of the feast of Saint Francis Xavierº 1898^|6,:^6| of the dean of ^|6Studies studies^6|, Father Butt, in the physics' theatre of university College, 16 Stephen's Green, northº ^|6,:^6| of his sister Dilly (Delia) in his father's house in Cabra.

What did Stephen see on raising his gaze to the height of a yard from the fire towards the opposite wall?

^|3Under a row of ^|65 five^6| coiled spring housebells^{3| (5}A a⁵⁾ curvilinear rope^|8,^8| stretched between two holdfasts athwart across the recess beside the chimney pier^|8,^8| from which hung four smallsized square handkerchiefs folded unattached consecutively in adjacent rectangles and one pair of ^|6grey Lisle^6| ladies' ^|6grey^{6| |8}stockings hose^{8| |6}with Lisle suspender tops and feet^6| in their habitual position clamped by three erect wooden pegs two at their outer extremities and the third at their point of junction.

^|3What did Bloom think of their different ages?

That neither could Stephen now have his age then nor he then Stephen's now.^3|

^|7What did Bloom see on the range?

On the right ^|a(smaller)^a| hob a blue enamelled saucepan: on the left (larger) hob a black iron kettle.^7|
{u21, 742}

^|7By what act did he solve the problem? ^|~What was his next act ^|8blank What did Bloom do at the range?º^8|~|7|

He removed the saucepan to the left hob, rose and carried the iron kettle to the ^|6tap and^6| sink in order to ^|6draw water tap the current^6| by turning the faucet to let it flow.

Did it flow?

Yes. From Roundwood reservoir in county Wicklow^|3,^3|º ^|3capable of containing of a cubic capacity of^3| 2400º million gallons, ^|3percolating^3| through ^|3an a subterranean^{3| |s8}acqueduct aqueduct^s8| of filterº

What in water did Bloom, ^|6waterlover,^{6| |6}carrying water drawer of water, watercarrier^6|, returning to the range, admire?

Its universality^|6,:^6| its ^|4democratic^4| equality and constancy to its nature in seeking its own level^|6,:^6| its vastness in the ocean of Mercator's ^|6projector, ^|8projector projection^8|:^6| its unplumbedº profundity in the Sundam trench of

Having set the halffilled kettle on the now burning coals,º why did he return to the stillflowing tap?

To wash his soiled hands with a partially consumed tablet of ^|6Barrington's^6| lemonflavoured soap^|7,^7| to which paper still adhered^|7|8,^8| (^7|bought thirteen hours previously for ^|8threepence fourpence^8| and still unpaid for^|7)^|8,^8|7| in fresh cold neverchanging everchanging water and dry them, face and hands, in a long redbordered holland cloth passed over a wooden revolving roller.

What reason did Stephen give for declining Bloom's offer?

That he was hydrophobe, hating ^|3total partial^3| contact by immersion ^|3or total by submersion^3| in cold water^|8,^{8| |6}(^6|his last bath having taken place in the month of
{u22, 626}
October of the preceding year^|6)^6|,º disliking the ^|8acqueous aqueous^8| substances of glass and crystal, distrusting aquacities of thought and language.

What impeded Bloom from giving Stephen counsels of hygiene and prophylactic ^|6with to which should be added^6| suggestions concerning a preliminary wetting of the head and contraction of the muscles with rapid splashing of the face ^|6and neck^6| and thoracic ^|6and epigastric^6| region in case of sea or river bathing^|7,^{7| |6}the parts of the human anatomy most sensitive to cold being the nape, stomach and thenar or sole of foot^6|?º

^|3Aquacity. The incompatibility of aquacity with the erratic originality of genius.^3|
{u21, 745}

^|3What additional ^|8didactic^8| counsels did he similarly repress?

Dietary: concerning the respective percentage of protein and caloric energy in bacon, salt ling and butter, the absence of the former in the lastnamed and the abundance of the latter in the firstnamed.

Which seemed to the host to be the predominant qualities of his guest?

Confidence in himself, ^|aa reciprocal an equal and opposite^a| power of abandonment and recuperation.^3|

What ^|3concomitant^3| phenomenon took place in the vessel of liquid ^|3on the by the agency of^3| fire?

The phenomenon of ebullition. ^|4Fanned by a constant updraught of ^|aair ventilation^a| between the kitchen and the chimneyflue^|6,^6| ignition was communicated from the faggots ^|aof ^|bprecombustible^b| fuel^a| to polygonous polyhedral masses of bituminous coal, containing in compressed mineral form the foliated ^|6fossilised^6| decidua of primeval forests which had in turn derived their vegetative existence from the sun, primal source of ^|6energy heat (radiant)^|8, transmitted through omnipresent luminiferous diathermanous ether^8|6|.^{4| |6}Convected heat Heat (convected)^6||4, ^|6a mode of motion^6| developed by such combustion,^4| was constantly and increasingly conveyed from the sourceº of calorification to the liquid contained in the vessel, being radiated through the uneven unpolished dark surface of the metal iron, in part reflected, in part absorbed, in part transmitted, gradually raising the temperature of the water from normal to boiling point^|6, a rise in temperature expressible as the result of an expenditure of 72 thermal units needed to raise 1 pound of water from 50° to 212° Fahrenheit^6|.
{u22, 627}

What announced the accomplishment of this rise in temperature?

A double falciform ejection of water vapour from under the kettlelid at both sides simultaneously.
{u21, 746}

For what personal purpose could Bloom have applied the water so boiled?

To shave himself.

What advantages attended shaving by night?

A softer beard^|6,:^{6| (3}a softer brush if intentionally allowed to remain from shave to shave in its ^|6agglutinated^6| lather^|6,:^{6|3) |3}a softer skin if ^|aunexpectedly^a| encountering female acquaintances in remote places at incustomary hours^|6,:^6|3| quiet reflections upon the course of the day^|6,:^6| a cleaner sensation when awaking after a fresher sleep since matutinal noises, premonitions and perturbations, a clattered milkcan, a postman's double knock, ⁽³a paper read^|7,^7| reread while lathering, relathering the same spot,³⁾ a shock, a shoot, with thought of aught he sought though fraught with nought might cause a faster rate of shaving and a nick^|6,^6| on which incision plaster with precision^|6,^6| cut and humected and applied^|6,^6| adhered:º which was to be done.

^|3Why did absence of light disturb him less than presence of noise?

Because of the surety of the sense of touch in his firm full masculine feminine passive active hand.

What quality did it ^|6(his hand)^6| possess but with what counteracting influence?

The operative ^|asurgical^a| quality but that he was reluctant to shed human blood even when the end justified the means., preferring, in their natural order, heliotherapy, ^|6medical therapeutics psychophysicotherapeutics^6|, osteopathic surgery.^3|

What ^|6were the contents lay under exposure on the lower,º middle and upper shelves^6| of the kitchen dresser ^|6when,º^6| opened by Bloom?

On the lower shelf five vertical breakfast plates, six horizontal breakfast saucers on which rested inverted breakfast cups, a moustachecup, uninverted, and saucer of Crown Derby, four white
{u21, 747}
goldrimmed eggcups, an open shammy purse displayingº coins, mostly copper, ^|8and^8| a phial of aromatic ^|8(violet)º^8| comfits ^|8and a red bettingticket^8|. On the middle shelf a chipped eggcup containing pepper, a drum of table salt, four ^|3conglomerated^3| black olives inº ^|3oily oleaginous^3| paper, an empty pot of
{u22, 628}
Plumtree's potted meat, ^|3a an oval wicker basket bedded with fibre and containing one^3| Jersey pear, a halfempty bottle of William Gilbey and Co's white invalid port, ^|3half disrobed of its swathe of coralpink tissue paper,^3| a packet of Epps's soluble cocoa, five ounces of Anne Lynch's choice tea at 2/- per lbº in a crinkled leadpaper bag, a cylindrical canister containing the best crystallised lump sugar, two onions, one,º the larger, Spanish, entire, the other, smaller, Irish, bisected ^|8with augmented surface^8| and more redolent, a jar of Irish Model ^|6dairy's Dairy's^6| cream, a jug ^|3of brown crockery^3| containing a naggin and a quarter of soured ^|4adulterated^4| milk^|4, converted by heat into water, acidulous serum and ^|asemisolidified^a| curds,^4| which added to the quantity subtracted for Mr Bloom's and Mrs Fleming's breakfasts^|v4,^v4|º made one ^|7imperial^7| pint, the total quantity originally delivered, two cloves, a halfpenny and a small dish containing a slice of fresh ribsteak. On the upper shelf a battery of jamjarsº of various sizes ^|8and proveniences^8|.

⁽³What attracted his attention lying on the apron of the dresser?

Four polygonal fragments of two lacerated scarlet betting tickets, numbered 8 87, ⁽⁵88 6 8 86⁵⁾.

What reminiscences temporarily corrugated his brow?

Reminiscences of coincidences, truth stranger than fiction, preindicative of the result of the Gold Cup flat handicap, the ^|8official and definitive^8| result of which he had read in the Evening Telegraph^|6,^6| late pink edition, in the cabman's shelter, at ^|6Butt's Butt^6| bridge.

Where had previous intimations of the result, effected or projected, been received by him?

In Bernard Kiernan's licensed premises 8, 9 and 10 Little Britain
{u21, 748}
street^|7,:^7| in David Byrne's licensed premises, 14 Duke street^|7,:^7| in O'Connell street lower, outside Graham Lemon's when a dark man had placed in his hand a throwaway (subsequently thrown away), advertising Elijah, restorer of the church in Zion^|7,:^7| in Lincoln place outside the premises of F. W.º Sweny and Co (Limited), dispensing chemists, when, when Frederick M. (Bantam) Lyons had rapidly and successively requested, perused and restituted the copy of the current issue of the Freeman's Journal and National Press which he had been about to throw away (subsequently thrown away), he had proceeded towards the oriental edifice of the Turkish and Warm Baths, 11 Leinster street, with the light of
{u22, 629}
inspiration shining in his countenance and bearing in his arms the secret of the race, graven in the language of prediction.

What ^|4collateral modify qualifying^4| considerations allayed his perturbations?

The difficulties of interpretation since the significance of any event followed its ^|6occurence occurrence^6| as variably as the acoustic report followed the electrical discharge^|6,^6| and of counterestimating against an actual loss by failure to interpret the total sum of possible losses proceeding originally from a successful interpretation.

^|6His mood?

He had not risked, he did not expect, he had not been disappointed, he was satisfied.^6|

What satisfied him?

To have sustained no positive loss. To have brought a positive gain to others. Light to the gentiles.³⁾

How did Bloom prepare a collation ^|3for a gentile^3|?

He poured into two teacups two level spoonfuls, four in all, of Epps's soluble cocoa and proceeded according to the directions for use printed on the label^|4, to each adding ^|6after sufficient time ^|8for infusion^8|6| the
{u21, 749}
prescribed ingredients ^|8of for diffusion^8| in the manner and in the quantity prescribed^4|.

What ^|8supererogatory^8| marks of special hospitality did the host show his guest?

Relinquishing his ^|8symposiarchal^8| right to the moustache cup of imitation ⁽⁸crown Crown⁸⁾ Derby presented to him by his only daughter, Millicent ^|6|7(Milly)^7|,^6| he ^|6drank from substituted^6| a cup identical with that of his guest and served ^|8extraordinarily^8| to his guest and, in reduced measure, to himself^|4(err,^err)º^4| the ^|6viscous^6| cream ^|8usually ordinarily^8| reserved for the breakfast of his wife Marion (Molly).

Was the guest conscious of and did he acknowledge these marks of hospitality?

His attention was directed to them by his host jocosely and he accepted them seriously as they drank in ^|8jocoserious^8| silence ^|8Epps's massproduct, the creature cocoa^8|.
{u22, 630}

^|3|aWas there a mark Were there marks^a| of attention hospitality which he contemplated but suppressed?, reserving ^|ait them^a| for another ^|aand for himself^a| on ^|aa^a| future ^|aoccasion occasions ^|6to complete the act begun^6|a|?

The reparation of a fissure of the length of 1½ inches in the right side of his guest's jacket. A gift to his guest of one of the four lady's handkerchiefs, if and when ascertained to be in a presentable condition.^3|

Who drank more quickly?

Bloom, having the advantage of ten seconds at the ^|3start initiation^3| andº taking^|8, from the concave surface of a spoon along the handle of which a steady flow of heat was conducted,^8| three sips to his opponent's one^|6, six to two, nine to three^6|.
{u21, 750}

What cerebration accompanied his ^|8frequentative^8| act?

Concluding ^|3by inspection but erroneously^3| that his silent companion was engaged in mental composition he reflected on the pleasures derived from literature of instruction rather than of amusement as he himself had applied to the works of ^|8William^8| Shakespeare more than once for the solution of difficult problems in imaginary or real life.

Had he found their solution?

In spite of careful and repeated reading of certain ^|3classical^3| passages, aided by a glossary, he had ^|3not^3| derived ^|3imperfect^3| conviction from the text^|3, the answers not bearing in all points^3|.

What lines concluded his first piece of original verse written ^|6by him, potential poet,^6| at the age of 11 in 1877 on the occasion of the offering of three prizes of 10/-, 5/- and 2/6 respectively ⁽⁴for competition⁴⁾º by the Shamrock, a weekly newspaper?

An ambition to squint
At my verses in print
Makes me hope that for these you'll find room.º
If you so condescend
Then please place at the end
The name of yours truly, L. Bloom^|8.^8|

Did he find four separating forces between his temporary guest and him?

Name, age, race, creed.
{u22, 631}

What anagrams had he made on his name in youth?

Leopold Bloom

Ellpodbomool

Molldopeloob

Old Ollebo, M.P.
{u21, 751}

What acrostic upon the abbreviation of his first name had he ^|7(kinetic poet)^7| sent to Miss Marion Tweedyº on the 14 February 1888?º

^|8Poets Poets^8| oft have sung in rhyme
^|8Of Of^8| music sweet their praise divine.
^|8Let Let^8| them hymn it nine times nine.
^|8Dearer Dearer^8| far than song or wine.

^|3What had prevented him from completing a topical song ^|a|7(music by R.G. Johnston)^7| on the events of the ^|byear past, or fixtures for the actual, years^b|a|, entitled If Brian Boru could but come back and see old Dublin now, commissioned by Michael Gunn^|a, lessee of the Gaiety Theatre, ^|8South Anne 46, 47, 48, 49 South King^8| street,^a| and to be introduced into the ^|7sixth sixth scene, the valley of diamonds, of the^7| second edition ^|7(30 January 1893)^7| of the ^|7grand annual^7| Christmas pantomime ^|6Sinbad the Sailor^{6| |a}1896 ^|71897 ^|8(^8|written by Greenleaf Whittier, scenery by George A.º Jackson and Cecil Hicks, costumes by Mrs and Miss Whelan^|err,º^{err| |8}under^{8| |a|8}(^8|produced ^|bby R.º Shelton^b| 26 December 1892^|8)^{8|a| |8}underº^8| the personal supervision of Mrs Michael Gunn, ballets by Jessie Noir, harlequinade by Thomas Otto^|8.)^8|7|a| and sung by ^|6Fay Arthurs Nelly Bouverist^6|, principal ^|aboy girl^a|?

What relation existed between their ages?

16 years before in 1888 when Bloom was of Stephen's present age Stephen was 6. ^|6Sixteen 16^6| years after in 1920 when Stephen would be of Bloom's present age Bloom would be 54. ^|3In 1936 when Bloom would be 70 and Stephen 54 their ages initially ^|aas in the ratio of^a| 16 to 0 would be as 17½ to 13½, the proportion ^|adiminishing increasing^a| and the disparity diminishing ^|4according^4| as ^|6arbitraryº^6| future years were added^(err,º^err) for if the proportion existing in 1883 had continued immutable^|6, conceiving that to be possible,^6| till then ^|a1904^a| when Stephen was 22 Bloom would be 374 and in 1920 when Stephen would be ^|a38^a|, as Bloom then was, 38 Bloom would be 646 while in 1952 when Stephen would have attained the ^|a|6postdiluvian maximum maximum postdiluvian^6|a| age of 70 Bloom, being 1190 years alive having been born in the year 714^|7,^7| would have surpassed by 221 years the maximum antediluvian age, that of ^|7Methusaleh ^|8Methusalem Methusalah^8|7|, 969 years, while^|7,^7| if Stephen ^|aattained would continue to live until he would attain^a| that age in the year 3072 a.d.^|7,^7| Bloom would have been obliged to have been alive 83,300 years, having been obliged to have been born in the year 81,396 b.c.^3|

What events might nullify these calculations?

The cessation of existence of both or either, the inauguration of a new era or calendar, the annihilation of the world ^|3|aand consequent extermination of the human species^a|, inevitable but impredictable^3|.

^|3Had Bloom and Stephen met before that day? ^|aWhat How many previous^a| encounters proved their preexisting acquaintance?^3|

^|3Twice Two^3|. The first ^|3time^3| in the lilacgarden of Matthew Dillon's house,º Medina
{u21, 753}
Villa, Kimmage road, Roundtown, in 1887, ^|ain the company of ^|6his Stephen's^6| mother,^a| Stephen being then of the age of 5 and reluctant to give his hand in salutation. The second ^|3time^3| in the coffeeroomº of Breslin's hotel on a rainy Sunday in the January of 1892, in the company of ^|6his Stephen's^6| father and ^|6his Stephen's^6| granduncle, Stephen being then 5 years older.
{u22, 633}

Did Bloom accept the invitation to dinner given ^|6then^6| by the son and afterwards seconded by the father?

Very gratefully, ^|6appreciatively with grateful appreciation^6|, ^|6sincerely with sincere appreciative gratitude^6|, ^|6regretfully in appreciatively grateful sincerity of regret^6|, he declined.

Did their conversation on the subject of these reminiscences reveal a third connecting link between them?

Mrs Riordanº, a widow of independent means, had resided in the house of Stephen's parents from 1 September 1888 to 29 December 1891 and had also resided during the years 1892, 1893 and 1894 in the City Arms Hotel owned by Elizabeth O'Dowd of 54 Prussia street where,º during parts of the years 1893 and 1894,º she had been a constant informant of Bloom who resided also in the same hotel, being at that time a clerk in the employment of Joseph Cuffe of 5 Smithfield for the superintendence of sales in the adjacent Dublin Cattle market on the North Circular road.

Had he performed any special corporal work of mercy for her?

He had sometimes propelled her on warm summer evenings, an infirm widow of independent, if limited,º means, in her ^|3convalescent^3| bathchair with slow revolutions of its wheels as far as the corner of the North Circular road opposite Mr Gavin Low's place of business where she had remained for a certain time scanning through his onelensed ^|6binocular^6| fieldglasses unrecognisable citizens on tramcars, roadster bicyclesº ^|3equipped with inflated pneumatic tyres^3|, hackney carriages, tandems, private and hired landaus, dogcarts, ponytraps and brakes passing from the city to the Phoenixº Park and vice versa.
{u21, 754}

Why could he ^|8then^8| support that his vigil with the greater equanimity?

Because in middle youth he had often sat observing through a ^|3glass boss rondel of bossed glass^3| of a multicoloured pane the spectacle offered with continual changes of the thoroughfare without, pedestrians, quadrupeds, velocipedes, vehicles, passing slowly, quickly, evenly, round and round and round the rim of a round ^|6and roundº^6| precipitous globe.

What distinct different memories had each of her now eight years deceased?

The older, her bezique cards and counters, her Skye terrier, her suppositious wealth, her lapses of responsiveness ^|3and incipient catarrhal deafness^3|: the younger, her lamp of colza oil before the statue of the Immaculate Conception,
{u22, 634}
her green and maroon brushes for ^|8Charles Stewart^8| Parnell and for Michael Davitt, her tissue papers.

Were there no means still remaining to him to achieve the rejuvenation which these reminiscences divulged to a younger companion rendered the more desirable?

The indoor exercisesº, formerly intermittently practised, subsequently abandoned, prescribed in Eugen Sandow's Physical Strength and How toº Obtain It which, designed particularly for commercial men engaged in sedentary occupations, were to be made with mental concentration in front of a mirror so as to bring into play the various families of muscles and produce successively a pleasant rigidity, a more pleasantº relaxation and the most pleasant repristination of juvenile agility.

Had any special agility been his in earlier youth?

Though ringweight lifting had been beyond his strength and the full circle gyration beyond his courage yet as a High Schoolº scholar he had excelled in his stable and protracted execution of the half lever movement on the parallel bars in consequence of his abnormally developed abdominal muscles.
{u21, 755}

Did either openly allude to their racial difference?

Neither.

What ^|6did Bloom think that Stephen thought, reduced to their simplest ^|8reciprocal^8| form, were Bloom's thoughts about Stephen's thoughts^6| about Bloom ^|8andº ^|errBloom's thoughtsº^err| about Stephen's thoughts about Bloom's thoughts about Stephen^8|?

He thought that he thought that he was a jew whereas he knew that he knew that he knew that he was not.

What^|6, the enclosures of reticence removed,^6| were their respective parentages?

Bloom, only ^|8born^8| male ^|8transubstantial^8| heir of Rudolf Virag (subsequently Rudolphº Bloom) of Szombathélyº, ^|6Vienna, Budapest,^6| Milan, London and Dublin and of ^|3Margaret Ellen^3| Higgins,º second daughter of Julius Higgins (born Karoly) and Fanny Higgins (born Hegarty). Stephen, eldest surviving male ^|8consubstantial^8| heir of Simon Dedalus of Cork and Dublin and of Mary, daughter of Richard and Christina Goulding (born Grier).
{u22, 635}

Had Bloom and Stephen been baptised^|6, and where and by whom, cleric or layman^6|?

Bloom ^|6(^6|three times^|6,)^6| by the reverend Mr Gilmer Johnston M.A., alone,º in the protestant church of Saint Nicholasº Without, Coombe^|6(err,;º^9)6| by James O'Connor, Philip Gilligan and James Fitzpatrick, together, under a pump in the village of Swords^(err,;º^err) and by the reverend Charles Malone,º C.C., in the church of the Three Patrons, Rathgar. Stephen (once) by the reverend Charles Malone, C.C.,º alone,º in the church of the Three Patrons, Rathgar.

Did they find their educational careers similar?

^|6Bloom had ^|8If Stephen had been Bloom he Substituting Stephen for Bloom Stoom^8| would have^6| passed successively through a dame's school and the high school^|8:.º^{8| |6}Stephen ^|8if Bloom had been Stephen he Substituting Bloom for Stephen Blephen^8| would have passed successively^6| through
{u21, 756}
the preparatory, junior, middle and senior grades of the intermediate and through the matriculation, first arts,º second arts and ^|8arts^8| degree courses of the ^|6royal^6| university.

Why did Bloom refrain from stating that he had frequented the university of life?

Because of his ^|6fluctuating^6| incertitude as to whether this observation had ^|7or had not^7| been already made by him to Stephen or by Stephen to him.

What two temperaments did they individually represent?

The scientific. The artistic.

What proofs did Bloom adduce to prove that his tendency was towards applied, rather than ^|6to towards^6| pure, science?

Certain possible inventions of which he had cogitated when reclining ^|8on his back^8| in a state of ^|8supine^8| repletion to aid digestion, stimulated by his appreciation of the importance of inventions now common but once revolutionary, for example, the ^|6aeronautic^6| parachute, ^|3the reflecting telescope,^3| the ^|6spiral^6| corkscrew, the safety pin, ^|3the mineral water ^|8syphon siphon^8|,^3| the canal lock ^|6with winch and sluice^|8, the suction pump^8|6|.

Were these inventions principally intended for an improved scheme of kindergarten?

Yes^|6, rendering obsolete popguns, ^|aelastic^a| airbladders, games of hazard, catapults^6|. They comprised astronomical kaleidoscopes exhibiting the twelve
{u22, 636}
constellations of the zodiac from Aries to Pisces, ^|6miniature mechanical orreries,^6| arithmetical gelatine lozenges, geometrical to correspond ^|8to with^8| zoological biscuits, globemap playing balls, historically costumed dolls.
{u21, 757}

What also stimulated him in his cogitations?

The financial success achieved by Ephraim Marks and Charles A.º James, the former by his 1d⁽⁵.º⁵⁾ bazaar at 42 George's streetº, southº, the latter at ^|6his^6| 6½d⁽⁵.º⁵⁾ shop and world's fancy fair and waxwork exhibitionº at 30 Henry ^(errStreet streetº^err), admission ⁽⁵6d ^|86d. 2d.^8|5),º children 1d⁽⁵.⁵⁾;º and the infinite possibilities hitherto unexploited of the modern art of advertisement if condensed in triliteral ^|8monoideal^8| symbols^|8, vertically of maximum visibility ^|a(divined)^a|, horizontally of maximum legibility ^|a(deciphered)^a| and^8| of magnetising efficacy ^|8to arrest involuntary attention, to interest, to convince, to decide^8|.º

{u22, 637}

Which example did he adduce to induce Stephen to ^|3comprehend deduce^3| that originality^|3, though ^|aproducing^a| its own reward,^3| does not invariably conduce to success?

His own ideated and rejected project of an illuminated showcart, drawn by a beast of burden, in which two smartly dressed girls were to be seated engaged in writing.

What suggested scene was then constructed by Stephen?

^|6A solitary Solitary^6| hotel in ^|6a^6| mountain pass. Autumn. Twilight. ^|6A fire Fire^6| lit. In ^|6a^6| dark corner ^|6a^6| young man seated. ^|6A young Young^6| woman enters. Restless. ^|7Solitary.^7| She sits. She goes to ^|6the^6| window. She stands. She sits. Twilight. She thinks. On solitary hotel paper she writes. She thinks. She writes. She sighs. Wheels and hoofs. She hurries out. He comes from his dark corner.º He seizes ^|6the^6| solitary paper. He holds it towards ^|6the^6| fire. Twilight. He reads. ^|7Solitary.^7|

What?

In sloping, upright and backhands^|6,:^6| Queen's Hotelº, Queen's Hotel,º ^|v3Queen's Hotel.^v3| Queen'sº Ho …

What suggested scene was then reconstructed by Bloom?

The Queen's Hotel, Ennis, countyº Clare^(err,º^err) where Rudolph Bloom (Rudolf Virag) died on ^|6the evening of^6| the 27 June 1886^|6, at some hour unstated, in consequence^6| of an overdose of ^|6monkhood monkshood^6| (aconite) ^|6selfadministered^6| in the form of a neuralgic linimentº composed of 2 parts of aconite liniment to 1 of chloroform liniment ^|6|7(^7|purchased ^|aby him at 10.20 a.m.^a| on the afternoon morning of 27 June 1886 at the ^|adrapery store medical hall^a| of Francis Dennehy, 17 Church street, Ennis^|7,)^7| after having, though not in consequence of having, purchased ^|aat 3.15 p.m. on the afternoon of 27 June 1886^a| a new boater straw hat, extra smart ^|7(after having, though not in consequence of having, purchased at the hour and in the place aforesaidº the toxin aforesaid)º^7|, at the general drapery store of James Cullen, 4 Main street, Ennis^6|.º
{u21, 759}

Did he attribute this homonymity to information or coincidence or intuition?

Coincidence.

Did he depict the scene verbally for his guest to see?º

He preferred himself to see ^|7another's face^7| and listen to another's words by which potential narration was realised and kinetic temperament relieved.
{u22, 638}

Did he see only a second coincidence in the second scene narrated to him, described by the narrator as A Pisgah Sight of Palestine or The Parable of the Plums?

It, with the preceding scene and with others unnarrated but existent by implication, ^|3to which add essays on various subjects ^|7or moral apothegms (e.g. My Favourite Hero or Procrastination is the Thief of Time)^7| composed during schoolyears,^3| seemed to him to contain in itself and in conjunction with the personal equation certain possibilities of financial, social, personal and sexual success, whether ^|3specially collected and selected as model ^|8pedagogicº^8| themes ^|4(of cent per cent merit)^4| for the use of preparatory and junior grade students or^3| contributed in printed form, following the precedent of Philip Beaufoy or Doctor Dick or Heblon's Studies in Blue, to a publication of certified circulation and solvency or employed verbally as intellectual stimulation for sympathetic auditors^|3, tacitly appreciative of successful narrative and confidently augurative of successful achievement,^3| during the increasingly ^|6long longer^6| nights gradually following the summer solstice ^|7on the day but three following, videlicet, Tuesday, 21 June ^|8(S. Aloysius Gonzaga)^8|, sunriseº 3.33 a.m^|8.^8|, sunset 8.29 p.m^7|.

Which domestic problem as much as, if not more than, any other frequently engaged his mind?

What to do with our wives.
{u21, 760}

What had been his hypothetical singular solutions?

Parlour games (dominos, ^|6bézique,^6| halma, tiddledywinks, ^|6spilikins, cup and ball, nap, spoil five, bezique, twentyfive, beggar my neighbour,^6| draughts, chess or backgammon): embroidery, darning or knitting for the policeaided clothing society: musical duets, mandoline and guitar, piano and flute, guitar and piano: legal scrivenery or envelope addressing: biweekly visits to variety entertainments: commercial activity ^|6as pleasantly commanding and pleasingly obeyed mistress proprietress^6| in a cool dairy shop or warm cigar divan: the clandestine satisfaction of erotic irritation in masculine brothels, ^|7state-inspected state inspected^7| and medically controlled: ^|3social visits, at regular infrequent ^|aprevented^a| intervals and with regular frequent ^|apreventive^{a| |8}superintendance superintendence^8|, to and from female acquaintances of recognised respectability in the vicinity:^3| courses of evening instruction specially designed to render ^|7liberal^7| instruction agreeable.

What instances of deficient mental development in his wife inclined him in favour of the ^|6(^6|lastmentioned^|6)^{6| |6}(^6||7eighth ninth^7||6)^6| solution?
{u22, 639}

In disoccupied moments she had more than once covered a sheet of paper with signs and hieroglyphics which she stated were Greek and Irish ^|6and Hebrew^6| 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^|3,^3| or ^|3balance of power,^3| external. In calculating the addenda of bills she frequently had recourse to digital aid. ^|8After completion of laconic epistolary compositions she abandoned the implement of calligraphy in the encaustic pigment,º exposed to the corrosive action of copperas, green vitriol and nutgall.^8| Unusual polysyllables of foreign origin she interpreted phonetically or by false analogy or by both: metempsychosis (met him pike hoses), aliasº (a mendacious person mentioned in ^|3sacred^3| scriptureº).

^|7What outweighed compensated in the false balance of her intelligence for these and such deficiencies of judgment regarding persons, places and things?
{u21, 761}

The false apparent parallelism of all perpendicular arms of all balances, ^|aproved^a| true by construction. The counterbalance of her proficiency of judgment regarding one person, proved true by experiment.^7|

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^|7,:^7| by assuming in her^|6,^6| when alluding explanatorily^|6,^6| latent knowledge^|7,:^7| by open ridicule in her presence of some absent other's ignorant lapse.

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 ^|3remembered reremembered^3|, ^|3repeated rerepeated^3| with error.

What system had proved more effective?

Indirect suggestion implicating ^|8self interest self-interest^8|.º

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^|7. She, she^7| carried umbrella with new hat.
{u22, 640}

Accepting the analogy implied in his guest's parable which examples of postexilic eminence did he adduce?

Three seekers of the pure truth, Moses of Egypt, Moses Maimonides, author of ^|6More Nebukim More Nebukim^6| (Guide of the Perplexed) and Moses Mendelssohn of such eminence that from Moses (of Egypt) to Moses (Mendelssohn) there arose none like Moses (Maimonides).
{u21, 762}

What statement was made, under correction, by Bloom concerning a fourth seeker of pure truth, by name Aristotle, mentioned^|8, with permission,^8| by Stephen?

That the seeker mentioned had been a pupil of a rabbinical philosopher, name uncertain.

^|3Were other ^|8anapocryphal^8| illustrious sons of the law and children of a ^|achosen selected^a| or rejected race mentioned?

Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn (composer), Baruch Spinoza (philosopher), Mendoza (pugilist)^|8,^{8| |7}Ferdinand Lassalle (reformer, ^|8duelist duellist^8|)^7|.^3|

What fragmentsº of verse from the ancient Hebrew and ancient Irish languages were cited with modulations of voice and translation of texts by guest to host and by host to guest?

By Stephen: suil, suil, suil arun, suil go siocair agus suil go cuin (walk, walk, walk your way, walk in safety, walk with care).

By Bloom: kifelochº , harimon rakatejch m'baad l'zamatejch^|8.^8| (thy temple amid thy hair is as a slice of pomegranate).

How was a glyphic comparison ⁽³made³⁾ of the phonic symbols of both languages ⁽³made in substantiation of the oral comparison³⁾?

^|v3By juxtaposition.^v3| Onº the penultimate blank page of a book ^|8of inferior literary style,^{8| |8}entitled entituledº^8| Sweets 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 gee, eh, dee, em, simple and modified, and Bloom in turn wrote the Hebrew characters ghimel, aleph, daleth and (in the absence of mem) a substituted qophº, explaining their arithmetical values ^|6of as ordinal and cardinal numbers, videlicet^6| 3, 1, 4,º and 100.
{u22, 641}

Was the knowledge possessed by both of each of these languages, the extinct and the revived, theoretical or practical?
{u21, 763}

Theoretical, being confined to ^|7some certain grammatical^7| rules of ^|7grammar accidence^7| and syntax and practically excluding vocabulary.

What points of contact existed between ⁽⁵between⁵⁾ these languages and ^|3between^3| the peoples who spoke them?

The presence of guttural sounds^|8, diacritic aspirations, epenthetic and servile letters^8| in both languages^|7,:^7| their antiquity, both having ^|errbeenº^err| taught on the plain of Shinar 242 years after the deluge in the seminary instituted by Fenius Farsaigh, descendant of Noah, progenitor of Israel, and ascendant of Heber and Heremon, progenitors of Ireland^|7,:^7| their ^|6vast^6| archaeologicalº^|6,^6| genealogical ^|6and,^{6| |8}hagiographical, exegetical, homilectic, toponomastic,^8| historical and religious literatures comprising the works of rabbis and culdees, Torah, Talmud ^|7(Mischna and Ghemara)^7|,º ^|7Massor,^7| Pentateuch, Book of the Dun Cow, Book of Ballymote, ^|7Garland of Howth,^7| Book of Kells: their dispersal, persecution, survival and revival: ⁽³the isolation of their ^|8synagogical and ecclesiastical^8| rites in ghetto (S. Mary's Abbey) and masshouse (Adam and Eve's tavern): the proscription of their national costumes in penal laws and jewish dress acts:³⁾ the restoration in Chanahº David of Zion and the possibility of Irish political autonomy or devolution.

What anthem did Bloom chant partially in anticipation of that ^|3multiple^|6,^6| ethnically irreducibleº^3| consummation?

Kolod balejwaw pnimah
Nefesch, jehudi, homijah.

Why ^|6did he not conclude was the chant arrested at the conclusion of this first ^|~8distych distichº^~|8|6|?

In consequence of defective mnemotechnic.

How did ^|6he the chanter^6| compensate for this deficiency?

By a periphrastic version of the general text.
{u21, 764}

In what common study did their mutual reflections merge?

The increasing simplification traceable from the Egyptian ^|8epigraphic^8| hieroglyphs to the Greek and Roman alphabets and the anticipation of modern stenography and telegraphic code in the cuneiform inscriptions (Semitic) and the virgular ^|8quinquecostate^8| ogham writing (Celtic).
{u22, 642}

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 male unfamiliar melody the accumulation of the past.

What was Bloom's visual sensation?

He saw in a quick young male familiar form the predestination of a future.

^|7What were Stephen's and Bloom's quasisimultaneous volitional quasisensations ^|aof concealed identities^a|?

Visually, Stephen's: The traditional figure of hypostasis, depicted by Johannes Damascenus, Lentulus Romanus and Epiphanius Monachus as leucodermic, sesquipedalian with winedark hair.

Auditively^|8,^8| Bloom's: ^|8blank The traditionalº accent ofº the ecstasy of catastrophe.^8|7|

What future careers had been possible for ^|8him Bloom^8| in the past and with what exemplars?

In the church, Roman, Anglicanº or Nonconformist: exemplars, the very reverend John Conmee S.J., the reverend T. Salmon, ⁽⁵DD D.D.⁵⁾, provost of Trinity college, Dr Alexander J. Dowie. At the bar, English or Irish:º exemplarsº, Seymour Bushe, K.C., Rufus Isaacs, K.C. On the
{u21, 765}
stage, modern or Shakespearean: exemplars^|6:,º^6| Charles Wyndham, high comedian, Osmond Tearle († 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,º where none could hear them talk,º being secluded, reassured, the ^|4prepared decocted^4| beverages^|4, allowing for ^|6subsolid^6| residual sediment ^|6of ^|8a mechanicalº mixture,^8| water plus sugar plus cream plus cocoa^6|,^4| having been consumed.
{u22, 643}

Recite the first (major) part of this chanted legend?

Little Harry Hughes and his schoolfellows all
Went out for to play ball.
And the very first ball littleº Harry Hughes played
He drove it o'er the jew'sº garden wall.
And the very second ball little Harry Hughes played
He broke the jew's windows all.

{u21, 766}

How did the ^|4host son of Rudolph^4| receive this first part?

^|8With unmixed feeling.^8| Smiling, a jew, he heard with pleasure and saw the unbroken kitchen window.
{u22, 644}

Recite the second part (minor) of the legend.

Then out thereº came the jew's daughter
And she all dressed in green.
“Come back, come back, you pretty little boy,
And play your ball again⁽⁵.⁵⁾”

She took a penknife out of her pocket
And cut off his little ^(errhead head,º^err)
And now he'll play his ball no more
For he lies among the dead.

{u21, 767}

How did the ^|4host father of Millicent^4| receive this second part?

^|8With mixed feelings.^8| Unsmiling, he heard and saw with wonder a jew's daughter, ^|4Millicent (Milly),^4| all dressed in green.
{u22, 645}

Condense Stephen's commentary.

One of all, the least of all, is the victim predestined. Once by inadvertence, 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 unresisting. It leads him to a strange habitation, to a secret infidel apartment, and there, implacable, immolates him, consenting.

^|4Why 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, unresisting) still?

^|8blank In accordance with the law of the conservation of energy.^8|4|

Why was the host ^|4(secret infidel)^4| silent?

He weighed the possible evidences for and against ritual murder: the incitationsº of the hierarchy, the superstition of the populace, ^|7the propagation of rumour in continued fraction of veridicity,^7| the envy of opulence^|6:,^6| the influence of retaliation, the sporadic reappearance of atavistic delinquency, the mitigating circumstances of fanaticism, hypnotic suggestion and ^|s8sonambulism somnambulismº^s8|.

⁽⁵From which ^|8(if any)^8| 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 ^|s8sonambulism somnambulismº^s8|:
{u21, 768}
once, sleeping, his body had risen, crouched and crawled in the direction of a heatless fire and, having attained its destination, there, curled, unheated, in night attire had lain, sleeping.⁵⁾

Had this latter or any cognate phenomenon declared itself in any member of his family?

Twice, in Holles street and in Ontario terrace, his daughter Millicent (Milly) at the ages of 6 and 8 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.
{u22, 646}

What other infantile memories had he of her?

15 June 1889. A querulous ^|7newborn^7| female infant crying to cause and lessen congestion. A child renamed Padney Socks she shook with shocks her moneybox: counted his three free ^|6moneypenny^6| buttons,º one, tloo, tlee: a doll, a boy, a sailor she ^|6threw cast^6| away: blond, born of two dark, she had blond ancestry, remote, a violation, Herr Hauptmann Hainau, Austrian army, proximate, a hallucinationº, 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 toº its most distant intervals.

What memories had he of her adolescence?

She relegated her ^|3hoop and^3| skippingrope to a recess. On the duke's lawn^|6,º^6| entreated by an English visitor^|6,^6| she declined to permit him to make and take away her photographic image ^|7(objection not stated)^7|. On the South Circular road in the company of Elsa Potter, followed by an individual of sinister aspect, she went half way down Stamer street and turned abruptly back ^|7(reason of change not stated)^7|. On the vigil of the 15th anniversary of her birth she wrote a letter from Mullingar,
{u21, 769}
county Westmeath, making a brief allusion to a local student ^|7(faculty ^|aand year^a| not stated)^7|.

Did that first division, portending a second division, afflict him?

Less than he had imagined, more than he had hoped.

What second departure was contemporaneously perceived by him similarly,º if differently?

A temporary departure of his cat.

Why similarly, why differently?

Similarly, because actuated by a secret purpose the quest of a ^|3new^3| male ^|3(Mullingar student)^3| or of a healing herb ^|3(valerian)^3|. Differently, because of different possible returns to the inhabitants or to the habitation.

In other respects were their differences similar?

In passivity, in economy, in the instinct of tradition, in unexpectedness.
{u22, 647}

As?

^|7Inasmuch as^{7| |7}Leaning leaningº^7| she sustained her blond hair for him to ribbon it for her ^|7(cf^|8.^{8| |a}ornamental neckarching^a| cat)^7|. ^|7Moreover,^{7| |7}On onº^7| the free surface of the lake in Stephen's green amid inverted reflections of trees her uncommented spit, describing concentric circles of waterrings, indicated by the constancy of its permanence the locus of a somnolent prostrate fish ^|7(cf^|8.^8| mousewatching cat)^7|. ^|7Again,^{7| |7}In inº^7| order to remember the date, combatants, issue and consequences of a famous military engagement she pulled a plait of her hair ^|7(cf^|8.^8| earwashing cat)^7|. ^|7Furthermore,^{7| |7}Silly sillyº^7| Milly, she dreamed of having had an unspoken unremembered conversation with a horse whose name had been Joseph to whom (which) she had offered a tumblerful of lemonade which it (he) had appeared to have accepted ^|7(cf^|8.^8| hearthdreaming cat)^7|. ^|7Hence, in passivity, in economy, in the instinct of tradition, in unexpectedness, theirº differences were similar.^7|
{u21, 770}

In what way had he utilised gifts ^|6|7|8(^8|1) an owl, 2) a clock^(err)^err)º^7|,^6| givenº as matrimonial auguries^|6,^6| to interest and to instruct her?

As object lessons to explain: 1) the nature and habits of oviparous animals, the possibility of aerial flight, certain abnormalities of vision, the secular process of imbalsamation: 2) the principle of the pendulum, exemplified in bob, wheelgear and regulator, the translation in terms of human or social regulation of the various positions of ^|8clockwiseº^8| moveable indicators on an unmoving dial, the exactitude of the recurrence per hour of an instant in each hour^|7,^7|º when the longer and the shorter indicator were at the same angle of inclination, videlicet, 5 5⁄11 minutes past 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 moustachecup of imitation crown Derby porcelain ware. 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 toº her she expressed the immediate desire to possess without gradual acquisition a fraction of his science, the moiety, the quarter, a thousandth part.
{u22, 648}

What proposal did Bloom, diambulist, father of Milly, ⁽⁵sonambulist somnambulist⁵⁾, make to Stephen, noctambulist?

To pass in repose the hours intervening between Thursday (proper) and Friday (normal) on an extemporised cubicle in the apartment immediately above the kitchen and immediatelyº adjacent to the sleeping apartment of his host and hostess.

What various advantages would or might have resulted from a ^(errprolungation prolongationº^err) of such anº extemporisation?

For the guest: security of domicile and seclusion of study. For the host: rejuvenation of intelligence, vicarious satisfaction. For the
{u21, 771}
hostess: disintegration of obsession, acquisition of correct Italian pronunciation.

^|3Why might these several^|aeventualities ^|bprovisional^{b| |6}contingency contingencies^6|a| between a guest and a hostess not necessarily preclude or be precluded by a permanent ^|acontingency eventuality of reconciliatory union^a| between a ^|6boy schoolfellow^6| and a jew's daughter?

Because the way to daughter led through mother, the way to mother through daughter.

To what ^|7inconsequent polysyllabic^7| question of his host did the guest return a ^|amonosyllabic^a| negative answer?

If he had known ^|athe late^a| Mrs Emily Sinico, accidentally killed at Sydney Parade railway station^|6,^6| 14 October 1903.^3|

^|8What inchoate ^|aconsequent corollary^a| statement was consequently suppressed by the host?

A statement explanatory of his absence on the occasion of the interment of Mrs Mary ^|errGoulding Dedalus (born Goulding)º^err|, 26 June 1903, vigil of the anniversary of the decease of Rudolph Bloom (born Virag).^8|

Was the proposal ^|8of asylum^8| accepted?

Promptly, inexplicably, with amicability, gratefully it was declined.

^|8What exchange of money took place between host and guest?

The former returned to the latter, without interest, a sum of money (£1-7-0), one pound seven shillings sterlingº, advanced by the latter to the former.^8|
{u22, 649}

What counterproposals were alternately advanced, accepted, modified, declined, restated in other terms, reaccepted, ratified, reconfirmed?
{u21, 772}

To inaugurate a ^|6prearranged^6| 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, semistatic and peripatetic intellectual dialogues, places the residence of both speakers (if both speakers were resident in the same place),º the ^(errShip Shipº^err) hotel and tavern, 6 Lower Abbey street (W. and E.º Connery, proprietors), the National Library of Ireland, 10 Kildare street, the National Maternity Hospital, 29, 30 and 31 Holles 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 realisation of these mutually selfexcluding propositions?

The irreparability of the past: once at a performance of Albert Hengler's circus in the Rotunda, Rutland squareº, Dublin^|8,^8| an intuitive particolouredº 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 imprevidibility of the future: once in the summer of 1898 he (Bloom) had marked a florin (2/-) with three notches on the milled edge and tendered it in payment of an account due to and received by J. and T.º Davy, family grocers, 1 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.
{u21, 773}

Why would a recurrent frustration the more depress him?

Because at the critical turningpoint of human existence he desired to amend many social conditions, the product of inequality and avarice and international animosity.
{u22, 650}

He believed then that human life was infinitely perfectible, eliminating these conditions?

There remained the generic conditions imposed by natural, as distinct from human law⁽³, as integral parts of the human whole³⁾:º the necessity of destruction to procure alimentary sustenance^|6,^(err;:º^9)6| the painful character of ^|6the ultimate functions of ^|aseparate^a| existence,^{6| |8}the agonies of^8| birth and death^|6,:^6| the monotonous menstruationº of simian and (particularly) human females extending from the age of puberty to the menopause^|6,^(err;:º^9)6| inevitable accidents at sea, in mines and factories^|6,:^6| certain very painful maladies and their resultant surgical operations, innate lunacy and ^|6congenital^6| criminality, ⁽³decimating epidemics^|6,:^6|3) catastrophic cataclysmsº which make terror the basis of human mentality^|6,:^6| seismic upheavals the epicentres of which are located in densely populated regions^|6,:^6| the fact of vital growth^|6, through convulsions of metamorphosis,^6| from infancy through maturity to decay.

Why did he desist from speculation?

Because it was a task for a superior intelligence to substitute other ^|7|amore^a| acceptable^7| phenomena in theº place of ^|6those the ^|7less acceptable^7| phenomena^6| to be removed.

Did Stephen participate in his dejection?

He affirmed his significance as a ^|6conscious rational animal proceeding syllogistically from the known to the unknown and a^6| conscious rational reagent between a micro and a macrocosm ^|8ineluctably^8| constructed upon the incertitude of the void.

Was this affirmationº apprehended by Bloom?

Not ⁽³literally, verbally^{3) |6}substantially. Substantially^6|.
{u21, 774}

^|8What comforted his misapprehension?

That as a competent keyless citizen he had proceeded energetically from the unknown to the known through the incertitude of the void.^8|

^|7In what order of precedence, with what attendant ceremony was the exodus from the house of bondage to the wilderness of inhabitation effected?

Lighted Candle in Stick

borneº by

Bloom^(err.º^err)

Diaconal Hat on Ashplant

borneº by

Stephen⁽⁸.º⁸⁾
{u22, 651}

With what intonation secreto of what psa commemorative psalm?

The ^|857th 113th^8|, modus peregrinus:º In exitu Israelº de Egypto:º domus ^|8David Jacob^8| de populo barbaro.^7|

^|8What did each doº 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.^8|

What spectacle confronted them when they, first the host, then the guest, emerged silently, doubly dark, ⁽³from obscurity³⁾ by a passage from the rere of the house into ⁽³the penumbra of³⁾ the garden?

The heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit.

With what meditations did Bloom accompany his demonstration to his companion of various constellationsº?
{u21, 775}

Meditations ^|4of evolution^4| increasingly vaster: ^|7of the ^|amoon^a| invisible ^|amoon^a| in incipient lunation, approaching perigee:^7| of the infinite lattiginous scintillating uncondensed milky way, ^|4discernible by daylight by an observer placed at the lower end of a cylindrical vertical shaft 5000 ft deep sunk from the surface towards the centre of the earth^|6,:^6|4| of Sirius ^|7(alpha in Canis Maior)^{7| |7}9 10^7| lightyears ^|7(57 bi ^|a57,000,000,000,000,000,000 57,000,000,000,000º^a| miles)^7| distant and in volume 900 times the dimension of our planet^|6,:^6| of Arcturus^|6,:^{6| |8}of the precession of equinoxes:^8| of Orion with belt ^|7and sextuple sun theta^7| and nebula in which 100 of our solar systems could be contained^|6,:^6| of moribund^|6, and^6| of nascent new stars such as Nova in 1901^|6,:^6| of our system plunging towards the constellation of Hercules^|6,:^6| of the parallax or parallactic drift of socalled fixed stars, in reality evermoving ⁽⁵wanderers⁵⁾º from immeasurably remote eons to infinitely remote futures in comparison with which the years, threescoreº and ten, of allotted human life formed a ⁽³period parenthesis³⁾ of infinitesimal brevity.

⁽³Were there obverse meditations ^|4of involution^4| increasingly less vast?

Of the eons of geological periods recorded in the stratifications of the earth^|6,:^6| of the myriad minute entomological ^|6organic^6| existences concealed in cavities of the earth, beneath removable stones, in hives and mounds, of microbes, germs, bacteria, ^|6bacills bacilli^6|, spermatozoa^|6,:^6| of the ^|4incalculable^4| trillions ^|7of billions^7| of millions of ^|6imperceptible^6| molecules contained ^|4by cohesion of molecular affinity^4| in a ^|4single^4|
{u22, 652}
pinhead^|6,:^6| of the universe of human serum constellated with red and white bodies, themselves universes of void space constellated with other bodies, each^|6, in continuity,^6| its universe of divisible component bodies of which ^|6each^6| was again divisible in divisions of redivisible component bodies, dividends and divisors ever diminishing without actual division till, if the processº were carried far enough, nought ^|6nowhere^6| was never reached.³⁾

Why did he not elaborate these calculations to a more precise result?

Because some years previously in 1886 when occupied with the
{u21, 776}
problem of the quadrature of the circle he had learned of the existence of a number computed ^|4to a relative degree of accuracy^4| to be of such magnitude ^|4and of so many places^4|, e.g., the 9th power of the 9th power of 9, that^|6,^{6| (3}the result having been obtained,³⁾ 33 closely printed volumes of 1000 pages each of innumerable quires and reams of India paper would have to be requisitioned in order to contain the complete tale of its printed integers ^(3|4of units, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions^4|, the nucleus of 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 powers³⁾.

Did he find the ^|7problem problemsº^7| of the inhabitability of the planets and their satellites ^|4by a race^|6,^6| given in species^|6,^{6| |7}and of the possible ^|asocial and moral redemption^a| of said race by a redeemer,^7|4| easier of solution?

Of a different order of difficulty. Conscious that the human organism⁽³, normally capable of sustaining an atmospheric pressure of ^|416 19^4| tons,³⁾ when elevated to a considerable altitude in the terrestrial atmosphere suffered ⁽³with arithmetical progression of intensity^|6,^6| according as the line of demarcation between troposphere and stratosphereº was approximated^|6,^6|3) from nasal hemorrhage, impeded respiration and vertigo, when proposing this problem for solution, he had conjectured ⁽³as a working hypothesis ^|4which could not be proved impossible^4|3) that a more ⁽³ancient^{3) |6|7}adaptible adaptable^7|6| and differently ⁽³anatomically³⁾ constructed race of beings might subsist otherwise under Martian, Mercurial, Veneral, Jovian, Saturnian, Neptunian or Uranian ^|4sufficient and equivalent^4| conditions, though ^|6an apogean^6| humanity ^|6of beings created^{6| |4}in varying forms ^|7withº finite differencesº resulting^7| similar to the whole and to one another^4| would probably there as here remain inalterably ^|6and inalienably^6| attached to ^|7vanities, to^7| vanities of vanities ^|7and to all that is vanity^7|.
{u22, 653}

^|7And the problem of possible redemption?

The minor was proved by the major.^7|
{u21, 777}

⁽³Which various features of the constellations were in turn considered?

The various colours significant of various degrees of vitality (white, yellow, crimson, ^|6dark red vermilion, cinnabar^6|)^|6,:^6| their degrees of brilliancy^|6,:^6| their magnitudes revealed up to and including the 7th^|6,:^6| their positions^|6,:^6| the waggoner's star^|6,:^6| Walsingham way^|6,:^6| the chariot of David^|6,:^{6| |4}the annular cinctures of Saturn^|6,:^6|4| the condensation of spiral nebulae into suns^|6,:^6| the ^|7interdependant interdependentº^7| gyrations of double suns^|6,:^6| the ^|6independant independent^6| synchronous discoveries of Galileo, Simon Marius, Piazzi, Le Verrier, Herschel, Galle^|6,:^6| the systematisations attempted by Bode and Kepler of cubes of distances and squares of times of revolution^|6,:^6| the almost infinite compressibility of hirsute comets and their vast elliptical egressive and reentrant orbits from perihelion to aphelion^|6,:^6| the sidereal origin of meteoric stones: the Libyan floods on Mars about the period of the birth of the younger astroscopistº ^|6,:^6| the annual recurrence of meteoric showers about the period of the feast of S. Lawrence^|6, (martyr,º 10 August):^6| the monthly recurrence known as the new moon with the old moon in her arms^|6,:^6| the posited influence of celestial on human bodies^|6,:^6| the appearance of a star ^|7(1st magnitude)^7| of exceeding brilliancy ^|7dominating by night and day^7| (a new luminous sun generated by the collision and amalgamation in incandescence of two ^|6non-luminous nonluminous^6| exsuns) about the period of the birth of William Shakespeare over delta in the recumbent neversetting constellation of Cassiopeia^|7, and of a star (2nd magnitude) of similar origin but ^|~of^~|º lesser brilliancy which had appeared in and disappearedº from the constellation of the Corona Septentrionalis about the period of the birth of Leopold Bloom and of other stars of (presumably) similar origin which had (effectively or presumably) appeared in and disappeared from the constellation of Andromeda about the period of the birth of Stephen Dedalus, and in and from the constellation of Auriga some years after the birth and death of Rudolph Bloom, junior, and in and from other constellations some years before or after the birth or death of other persons^{7| |7}a^{7| |6}9 ^|7nine^{7|6| |7}years' wonder^7||6,:º^6| the attendant phenomena of eclipses, solar and lunar, ^|8from immersion to emersion,^8| abatement of wind, ^|4transit of shadow,^4| taciturnity of
{u21, 778}
winged creatures, emergence of nocturnal or crepuscular animals, ^|7(errpersistance persistenceº^err) of infernal light,^7| obscurity of terrestrial waters, pallor of human beings.³⁾
{u22, 654}

His ^|6(Bloom's)^6| logical conclusion^|7, having weighed the matter and allowing for possible error^7|?

^|7That it was not a heaventree, not a heavengrot, not a heavenbeast, not a heavenman.^7| That it was a Utopia, ^|6(there being no known method from the known to the unknown^|7,:^{7|6| |4}an infinityº renderable equally finite by the suppositiousº apposition of ^|61 one^6| or more bodies equally of the same and ^|7of^7| different magnitudes^|7,:^{7|4| |3}a mobility ^|8of illusory forms^8| immobilised in space, remobilised in air^|7,:^7|3| a past which possibly had ceased to exist ^|7as a present^7| before its ^|4probableº ^|errfutureº^9|4| spectators had entered ^|4actual^{4| |7}present^7| existence.

Was he more convinced of the esthetic value of the spectacle?

Indubitably in consequence of the reiterated examples of poets in the delirium of the frenzy of ^|6love attachment^6| or in the abasement of rejection invoking ^|6resplendent ardent sympathetic^6| constellations or the frigidity of the satellite of their planet⁽⁵?.⁵⁾

Did he then accept ^|4as an article of belief^4| the theory of astrological influences ^|4upon sublunary disasters^4|?

It seemed to him as possible of proof as of confutation and the nomenclature employed in its ^|3semelographical selenographical^3| charts as attributable to verifiable intuition as to fallacious analogy: the lake of dreams, the ^|8seas sea^8| of rains, the gulf of dews, the ocean of fecundity.

What special affinities appeared to him to exist between the moon and woman?

Her antiquity in preceding and surviving successive ^|6tellurian^6| generations^|6,:^6| her nocturnal predominance^|6,:^6| her satellitic dependence^|6,:^6| her luminary reflection^|6,:^6| her constancy under all her phases, risingº
{u21, 779}
and setting by her appointed times, waxing and waning^|6,:^6| the ⁽³forced³⁾ invariability of her aspect^|6,:^{6| |4}her indeterminate response to inaffirmative interrogation^|6,:^6|4| her potency over effluent and refluent waters^|6,:^{6| |4}her power to enamour, to mortify, ^|ato invest with beauty,^a| to render insane, to incite to and aid delinquency^|6,:^6|4| the tranquil inscrutability of her visage^|6,:^{6| |3}the terribility of her isolated dominant ^|aimplacable^a| resplendent propinquity^|6,:^6|3| her omens of tempest and of calm^|6,:^6| the stimulation of her light, her motion and her presence^|6,:^6| the admonition of her craters, her arid seas, her silence: her splendour, when visible^|6,:^6| her attraction⁽³,³⁾ when invisible.
{u22, 655}

What visible luminous sign attracted Bloom's, who attracted Stephen's,º gaze⁽⁵.?⁵⁾

In the second storey (rere) of his ^|6(^6|Bloom's^|6)^6| house ^|4The the^4| light of a paraffin oil lamp with oblique shade projected on a screen of roller blind supplied by Frank O'Hara, window blind, curtain pole and revolving ^|6shutter^6| manufacturer, 16 Aungier street.

How did he elucidate the mystery of an invisible ^|7|~attractive^~|º^7| person, his wife Marion (Molly) Bloom, ^|4indicated denoted^4| by a visible ^|7vigilant splendid^{7| |v3}luminous^v3| signº, a lamp?

With indirect and direct verbal allusions or affirmations: with subdued affection and admiration: with description:º with impediment:º with suggestion.

Both then were silent?

Silent, each contemplating the other in both mirrors of the ^|8reciprocal^8| flesh of ^|7|8his nothis theirhisnothis^8|7| fellowfaces.

Were they indefinitely inactive?

At Stephen's suggestion, at Bloom's instigation both, first Stephen, then Bloom, in penumbra urinated, their sides contiguous, their organs of micturition reciprocally rendered invisible by manual circumposition, their gazes, first Bloom's, then Stephen's, elevated to the projected luminous and semiluminous shadow.
{u21, 780}

Similarly?

The trajectories of their, first sequent, then simultaneous, urinations were dissimilar: Bloom's longer, less irruent, in the incomplete form of the bifurcated penultimate ^|6alphabetical^6| letter who in his ultimate year at High School (1880) had been capable of attaining the point of greatest altitude against the whole ^|7concurrent^7| strength of the institution^|6,^6| 210 scholars: Stephen's higher, more sibilant, who in the ultimate hours of the previous day had augmented by ^|7diuretic^7| consumption an insistent ^|6vesical ^(errvescical vesicalº^9)6| pressure.

What different problems presented themselves to each concerning the invisible audible ^|3collateral^3| organ of the other?

To Bloom: the problems of irritability, tumescence, rigidity, reactivity, dimension, sanitariness, pelosity. To Stephen: the problem of the sacerdotal integrity of Jesus circumcised (^|81 1st^8| January, holiday of obligation to hear mass
{u22, 656}
and abstain from unnecessary servile work) and the problem as to whether the divine prepuce, the carnal bridal ring of the holy Roman catholic apostolic church, conserved in Calcata, were deserving of simple hyperduly or of the ^|74th fourth^7| degree of latria accorded to the abscission of ^|3such^3| divine ^|3excrescences as^3| hair and toenails.

⁽³What celestialº sign was by both simultaneously observed?

A star precipitated with great apparent velocity ^|6across the firmament^6| from Vega in the Lyre above the zenith beyond the stargroup of the Tress of Berenice towards the zodiacal sign of Leo.

How did the centripetal remainer afford egressº to the centrifugal departer?

By inserting the barrel of an arruginated male key in the hole of an unstable female lock, obtaining a purchase on the ^|6handle bow^6| of the key and turning its wards from right to left, withdrawing a bolt from its staple, pulling inward spasmodically an obsolescent unhinged door and revealing an aperture for free egress and free ingress.
{u21, 781}

How did they takeº leave^|7,^7| one of the other^|7,^7| in separation?

Standing perpendicular at the same door and on different sides of its base, the lines of their valedictory arms, meeting at any point and forming any angle less than the sum of two right angles.³⁾

^|7What sound accompanied the union of their tangent, the disunion of their (respectively) centrifugal and centripetal hands?

The sound of the peal of the hour of the night by the chime of the bells in the St church of Saint George.

What echoes of that sound were by both and each heard?

By Stephen:

Liliata rutilantium. Turma circumdet.
^(errJubilantium Iubilantiumº^err) te virginum. Chorus excipiat.

By Bloom:

Heigho, heigho,
Heigho, heigho.
{u22, 657}

Where were the several members of the company which with Bloom that day at the bidding of that peal had travelled from Sandymount in the south to Glasnevin in the north?

Martin Cunningham (in bed), Jack Power (in bed), Simon Dedalus (in bed), ^|8Ned Lambert (in bed), Tom Kernan (in bed), Tom Kernan (in bed), Ned Lambert (in bed),º^8| Joe Hynes (in bed), John Henry Menton (in bed), Bernard Corrigan (in bed), Patsy Dignam (in bed), Paddy Dignam (in the grave).^7|

Alone, what did Bloom hear?

The double reverberation of retreating feet ^|7on the heavenborn earth^7|, the double ^|6twang vibration^6| of a jew's harp in the resonant lane.
{u21, 782}

Alone, what did Bloom⁽⁸,⁸⁾ feel?

The cold of interstellar space, thousands of degrees below ^|7freezing point or^7| the ^|3absolute^3| zero of Fahrenheit, Centigrade or Réaumur: the incipient intimations of proximate dawn.
