That modern Dorian post reminded me I actually did have a modern AU started. It’s never getting finished, but I think it could have gone in a cute direction.
Features: Cullen/Dorian, Dorian & Adaar friendship/snark, the Inquisition as an academic library, a dog I made Patho name because she wanted the story (sorry Patho)
Dorian was pondering how best to rearrange his wine glasses (by likelihood of use? height? a pleasing eclectic mix of both?) when he heard a somewhat frantic knock on his door. He opened it to find his neighbor from across the hall, holding a set of keys and a leash with a very large Mabari at the end of it. Dorian had seen the blond man and the dog out and about, but had never exchanged more than a polite greeting.
“Can I help you?” Dorian wasn’t sure exactly was going on here yet, but from their limited interaction, he didn’t seem like a serial killer. (It certainly didn’t hurt that he was extremely good-looking.)
“I was rather hoping you could.” His neighbor put his hand to the back of his neck, a ridiculous nervous affectation that Dorian found charming, even though he was sure he wasn’t supposed to. “I’m being called away on rather urgent business for work, and I don’t have anybody to look after my apartment or feed my dog.” Here he looked awkward and sheepish, like he couldn’t believe he’d found himself in a situation this ridiculous. “I’m new to the area, and anybody else I would trust to do so is also going to be traveling with me. I understand it’s a great deal to ask from a virtual stranger, but--”
“I’d be happy to. I'm Dorian, by the way.” Dorian smiled, and his neighbor nearly collapsed in relief.
"Dorian, you are a lifesaver. Feed Henry two cans of wet food along with two scoops of dry food twice a day. Make sure he has water at all times. He likes to walk twice a day before mealtimes, but any time you can get him out is fine.” His phone pinged and he handed over the keys and leash to Dorian. “Shit, that’s my cab. I owe you so much for this. Name your favor, and when I get back I swear it will be done.”
“But I don’t even know your name!” Dorian called to the retreating figure running down the hall.
“Cullen! Cullen Rutherford!” He--Cullen--shouted back. Henry whined quietly, looking the direction his master headed. Dorian let Henry sniff his hand and the dog licked it, politely if not affectionately. Dorian tugged on the leash, still a little unsure of how exactly he’d gotten himself into this situation.
“Come on Henry, let’s go for a walk.”
--
A couple days later, there was a knock on his door, and a courier handed him a slim envelope. It was addressed to “Dorian in Apt 302”, and he wondered once again at the ridiculous circumstances of his life. Opening it, he found a note and some money.
I just realized that I was low on dry food. If I could trouble you to pick some up I would be so grateful. There’s a pet store down the road that sells the special food Henry eats. Here’s my number if you need anything.
Continuing to be in your debt,
Cullen
Sticking the money and note into his pocket, he went to work. He was in the middle of trying to figure out how best to catalog an overblown address to the Magisterium when Adaar sidled up to him. She had a first name, but nobody besides the payroll person actually knew what it was. They’d collaborated on the Koslun project, which was of mutual interest to both of their areas of expertise, and he’d found her to be sharp and thoughtful, as well as one of the few people who had deigned to talk to the Vint about non-work matters when he’d first arrived.
“Sera tells me you got a note from your neighbor.”
“And where did Sera hear that?” Dorian asked as he slipped the transcript back into its protective case. Sera was a tech who somehow managed to have eyes and ears in the most mysterious places.
“Probably from Josie.” Josie was one of the directors, who made it a point to stop and chat with everybody. She cooed over the pictures Dorian took of Henry and seemed thrilled to to hear all about the strange and somehow delightful ridiculousness going on with his neighbor. Adaar smiled, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Are you going to text him?”
“I admit the thought hadn’t occurred to me.” Dorian lied.
“You are so full of shit sometimes, Pavus. I bet you had to stop yourself from tapping one out as soon as you got that note.” It was still strange to him, this staying in one place long enough for people to see through his calculated feints and attempts to keep safe distances. It wasn’t as terrible as he thought.
“You’re wrong. I waited until I got on the bus.” It wasn’t quite a concession, but as much as he’d give. Adaar’s expression softened, something that still looked odd to him for a split second before his thinking brain kicked in. Qunari were painted as fanatical, fearsome beasts in Tevinter, and he’s spent enough time outside the Imperium that he knew a great deal of what he was told growing up is bullshit, but there was only so much one could do with initial conditioning.
“From what you say, he sounds sweet. I think you should do it.” She punched him on the shoulder gently. “You of all people deserve a chance to be happy.”
“But only if I text you about what happens first?”
She laughed, the gilding on her horns catching the light as she shook. “I’m glad we understand each other.”
--
He took a selfie with Henry and sent it to the number in the note. We’re getting along great! he tapped out. It was an acceptably neutral message, he hoped. He got a reply back almost immediately.
I'm glad to see that. Has he been behaving? We're not usually apart and I worry about him.
He's fine, helicopter dad. Dorian sent. He hesitated before tapping out Are *you* doing all right without him? There was a pause, longer than he thought should have been necessary to reply. Before Dorian could apologize, Cullen responded.
You’re very perceptive. Although given how much I fuss over Henry, it must seem obvious. Dorian chuckled. The phone pinged again.
Which is to say, my obviousness does not negate your perception. Just in case that wasn’t clear. Andraste’s knicker weasels, he shouldn’t have found it anywhere near as charming as he did.
So tell me about your day. He texted. Dorian got a steady string of observations about the Orlesian countryside, mostly long-suffering but wry enough to be amusing. Cullen talked a little about the work he did with the Inquisition: scouting, evaluating locations for a more permanent base of operations. Apparently it was looking to expand its presence in the more remote, underserved areas of Orlais, where its presence would be most welcomed.
And will you be staying away long? Henry will miss you.
Gods, no. Dorian heard back almost immediately. I'm too old for extended time in the field. I miss my bed already. Dorian, already in his, curled up tighter in his blanket in sympathy.
They chatted back and forth for longer than Dorian realized, until he found his eyes growing heavy and his vision blurring. He stifled a yawn.
I have to go to sleep now, or Cassandra will kill me. Dorian’s heart dropped for a moment, before another message popped up. She is a terribly fussy roommate, and always has been.
She sounds formidable. I would not wish to incur her wrath.
The next reply was a single word: Hah. It was then followed by You have no idea. Sleep well.
Pleasant dreams, if I may be so bold. For a moment, Dorian wondered if it was too much. It wasn’t as if they actually knew each other, although they were certainly more familiar than they were two days ago. One last message popped up on his screen. You may. Good night. :) How quaint; he still made his emoticons on the keyboard.
The next thing he knew, his phone was buzzing in his hand, the alarm demanding his wakefulness. He’d been holding it all night.
--
Upon reflection, Dorian realized it should have been obvious that bringing Henry to meet his cat was not perhaps the wisest idea. Henry was perfectly all right with the idea of sharing space, however temporarily, with another animal, but Livia was of the exact opposite disposition. She growled at them both and fled to the bedroom, where Dorian would have to no doubt spend a great deal of time coaxing her out from under the bed with dried fish flakes and apologies. But that was for later.
He unlocked the door to Cullen’s apartment and let Henry back into familiar surroundings, which he was pleased by, judging by the way he ran around and sniffed contentedly. He fed Henry the specified amount of food and marveled at how dainty a giant dog could be in eating. As he ate, Dorian looked around. The place was sparse, like its occupant was used to living with only essentials, thus making the personal items scattered about much more significant. There were some books, mostly Genitivi’s travelogues and popular nonfiction pertaining to the Chantry, but also a surprising number of mass-market fiction books by Tethras. Dorian noticed there were photographs: a family portrait, two boys, two girls, and parents; the eldest girl and Cullen in front of a chessboard; a picture of a young, serious Cullen in a Templar uniform, posing in front of a large stone tower. It was the most recent picture, and Dorian guessed it was at least ten years old.
--
Adaar came up to him silently; a not insignificant feat for someone of her size, and just waited until Dorian noticed her. He continued sorting some of the twenty linear feet of archives some windbag magister willed to the university without looking at her.
“We’ve been texting. It hasn’t gone beyond that.” He’d get sporadic updates during the day: a snapshot of a silly Orlesian dog (accompanied by commentary on the difference between them and Ferelden canines), a fancy dessert he grudgingly approved of, and once, a picture of a stern, fearsome-looking woman he assumed was Cassandra, fast asleep.
He did not need to look at her to register the disappointment emanating from her direction. It wasn’t like he could do anything while Cullen was away on business. Well, to be precise, there was video chat, but Dorian had a very strong feeling this was not the way to Cullen’s heart, or his pants. His lack of emoji use notwithstanding, there was something charmingly old-fashioned about him.

“Got another one from Hogwarts!” The woman called from the kitchen, her eyes having memorized the rhythm of the Great Horned Owl’s wings years ago as they beat against the overcast October sky. She looked down at the tap which blinked back at her before remembering to turn itself on and she rinsed her hands with some of the good lemon soap that she’d brought back from a trip to Lyon.
The soft thud of polished wood meeting cane announced the man’s entry into the kitchen, his house shoes padding softly as he made his way around the island to stand next to the woman. “That’s twice this month,” he murmured as he admired the owl that had settled onto the perch outside the window after it had deposited a letter on the sill. The woman opened the window and retrieved the letter, thumbing the owl’s neck affectionately before closing the pane against the roll of the cool breeze. She paused, admiring what was left of the autumn foliage; she’d always thought West Country to look particularly fine on days like these.
The woman linked arms with her husband and the two retreated from the kitchen into the study, as was their practice on evenings such as these, and settled into matching burgundy armchairs in front of the hearth where Canby, their house elf, had assembled a small fire that filled the room with the smell of pine sap and woodsmoke. The woman tugged the sweater more tightly to her shoulders before reaching for the letter opener poised on the small table between the chairs as the man packed his pipe with tobacco and flicked his wand to direct some of the fire from the hearth to light the leaves. He closed his eyes as he drew the smoke into his lungs, settling more comfortably in his chair as the wood in the hearth popped and crackled, the firelight reflecting off of the rich cherry of the mantle and bookshelves that covered each wall from floor to ceiling. The woman unfolded the stiff parchment, tucking the envelope behind the loose leaves as she tipped the page toward the light and began to read.
“Dear mum and dad,” she began, her tone full of fondness and sentiment already. “I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing from the Great Hall where I’ve been spending a few nights this week doing some extra transfiguration work with Professor McGonagall.”
The man huffed loose a laugh, shaking his head.
“What’s got you laughing, Monty?” The woman said, looking from the paper at her husband, the softness that had colored her tone when she had been reading giving way ever-so-slightly to annoyance.
“‘Boy’s got detention again. Extra transfiguration work, clever way to spin it, I’ll give him that.”
The woman shot him a pointed look, pausing for a beat before sitting up again and resuming her place in the letter. “In his last letter, dad had asked after the squad and I don’t have much to say besides we’re poised for yet another record-breaking year—I’ve included a match schedule as well. We’ve taken on a new fourth year girl who has promise to replace one of our 7th year beaters once he’s graduated and I’ve started to keep an eye out in the younger years for a backup seeker since Perevelle graduated and we’ve only got Meadows.”
The woman paused, shaking her head. “We wasted time with that grammar tutor, Monty—he’s still managed to muck up his commas. This is the sort of business he’s going to wish he’d paid more attention to when it comes time to graduate, no sort of future Minister of Magic should be inept in the ways of punct—“
The woman was cut off by another chorus of laughter from her husband who coughed as he managed to regain control of himself. “Hearth kicked up a bit of smoke,” he said, concealing his grin behind his hand as he stroked his mustache. “What else has the boy written?”
The woman snorted out a sigh of exasperation and looked back at the letter as she squared her shoulders and cleared her voice. “Mum will be pleased to know that I had a date to the masquerade ball last week and wore the new dress robes.” The woman smiled at that, hand going to her chest. “Oh, bless him, a date, Monty, finally.” She reread the line to herself again before quickly scanning the next line. “And that’s it. He went on a date and wore new dress robes. Do you think it would kill him to say more than that, Monty, do you?” She flipped the letter over and looked at the back, hoping for more. “That’s it. All that effort to write to us and he’s moved on from there to talk about plans for the holidays and that friend of his, grandson of that awful Pollux Black. Do you remember him from school, I think he was a year or two behind you? He got that woman he ended up marrying—what was her name?—anyway, he got her pregnant when we were seventh years. I think they were in third! Merlin, that Black family—that friend though, Sirius, he seems well enough…”
The woman looked at her husband who’d stopped listening and had instead began to snore softly. “Monty!” she snapped, wrapping the letter against her skirt. The man sat up abruptly, thumbing his mustache again.
“Yes, right, well enough, dating,” he sputtered, rearranging his grip on his cane.
The woman just shook her head. “No word on extra security at Hogwarts, do you think the Daily Prophet has even been reading our letters? I told Dumbledore I would write once a week and I made good on that—the ladies in my knitting circle have been writing as well—but this good for nothing government, Fleamont. Promise me we’ll never vote for any relative of your former colleagues again, they’re nothing but self-important windbags,” the woman said with exasperation, refolding the letter and tucking it back into the envelope. “I’ve seen some of those pureblood families, always the same ones who were in Slytherin, in the Life and Style pages rubbing elbows with all those Ministry officials. I don’t like it, Monty, all smug and gaudy in those ridiculously-priced robes. I mean, French robes to a Ministry event!”
The man nodded along with his wife’s diatribe, feigning interest. “‘Emia, don’t give yourself palpitations over it,” he said as she finished, shaking his head. “It’s all a bit of the same rubbish from we were in school—just plain ole rubbish and nothing more. I reckon he’s gone a bit paranoid, Dumbledore, ever since that tragedy with those muggleborns and that half-giant bloke. I don’t blame him, wanting extra eyes, but there’s no need to be hysterical. James is a smart boy, he can fend for himself—maybe a bit too readily, truth be told, but should there be a real sort of a emergency, perhaps…” he trailed off, shaking his head. “And he’s got those mates of his—I’ve always imagined the four of them are a bit rowdy, suppose they must be if they’re anything like me and mine were back in the day.” He gave his wife a small smile. “You get like this every year ‘round this time, love. Have since his first year. If it makes you feel better, check in with Minerva, you know she’ll write you. Hard to believe little McGonagall is a professor, even after all this years,” he shook his head and chuckled.
The woman sighed, removing her eye glasses and setting them down on the table next to the letter opener. “I should write him back, tell him I’ve put some galleons in account at Hogsmeade in case he decides to go on another date or needs new robes,” she said, standing and tucking the letter into a basket on the bookshelf that was full of identical envelopes in the same scrawling, slanted hand. “Tell him we’ll come to the next match, see if he’ll be home for the whole Christmas holiday.” She glanced over at her husband who nodded and stood, sliding an arm to his wife’s waist and pressing his lips to her temple.
“He’s a Potter, Euphemia. Don’t worry on him, he’ll be back charming the mistletoe and leaving his quidditch things strewn about in no time and you’ll be wondering why you’d ever been concerned in the first place,” the man said with a snort, squeezing his wife closer. “Make sure you tell him off for that detention, too. We’ve been too soft on him,” he said with a little smirk.
The woman smiled back, shaking her head as she dabbed at her eyes with the sleeve of her sweater, suddenly feeling very silly. “You’re right, Monty, ‘course you’re right,” she said, brushing off her concern.

they made it (Full Circle)
in sharing the True Message of grace, even standing against those who opposed by being patient and kind and taking it without offense.
this is what we see in Today’s reading of the Scriptures from the book of Acts with these lines from chapter 14:
Finally, they made it to Attalia and caught a ship back to Antioch, where it had all started—launched by God’s grace and now safely home by God’s grace. A good piece of work.
and the whole chapter:
When they got to Iconium they went, as they always did, to the meeting place of the Jews and gave their message. The Message convinced both Jews and non-Jews—and not just a few, either. But the unbelieving Jews worked up a whispering campaign against Paul and Barnabas, sowing mistrust and suspicion in the minds of the people in the street. The two apostles were there a long time, speaking freely, openly, and confidently as they presented the clear evidence of God’s gifts, God corroborating their work with miracles and wonders.
But then there was a split in public opinion, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles. One day, learning that both the Jews and non-Jews had been organized by their leaders to beat them up, they escaped as best they could to the next towns—Lyconia, Lystra, Derbe, and that neighborhood—but then were right back at it again, getting out the Message.
[Gods or Men?]
There was a man in Lystra who couldn’t walk. He sat there, crippled since the day of his birth. He heard Paul talking, and Paul, looking him in the eye, saw that he was ripe for God’s work, ready to believe. So he said, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Up on your feet!” The man was up in a flash—jumped up and walked around as if he’d been walking all his life.
When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they went wild, calling out in their Lyconian dialect, “The gods have come down! These men are gods!” They called Barnabas “Zeus” and Paul “Hermes” (since Paul did most of the speaking). The priest of the local Zeus shrine got up a parade—bulls and banners and people lined right up to the gates, ready for the ritual of sacrifice.
When Barnabas and Paul finally realized what was going on, they stopped them. Waving their arms, they interrupted the parade, calling out, “What do you think you’re doing! We’re not gods! We are men just like you, and we’re here to bring you the Message, to persuade you to abandon these silly god-superstitions and embrace God himself, the living God. We don’t make God; he makes us, and all of this—sky, earth, sea, and everything in them.
“In the generations before us, God let all the different nations go their own way. But even then he didn’t leave them without a clue, for he made a good creation, poured down rain and gave bumper crops. When your bellies were full and your hearts happy, there was evidence of good beyond your doing.” Talking fast and hard like this, they prevented them from carrying out the sacrifice that would have honored them as gods—but just barely.
Then some Jews from Antioch and Iconium caught up with them and turned the fickle crowd against them. They beat Paul unconscious, dragged him outside the town and left him for dead. But as the disciples gathered around him, he came to and got up. He went back into town and the next day left with Barnabas for Derbe.
[Plenty of Hard Times]
After proclaiming the Message in Derbe and establishing a strong core of disciples, they retraced their steps to Lystra, then Iconium, and then Antioch, putting muscle and sinew in the lives of the disciples, urging them to stick with what they had begun to believe and not quit, making it clear to them that it wouldn’t be easy: “Anyone signing up for the kingdom of God has to go through plenty of hard times.”
Paul and Barnabas handpicked leaders in each church. After praying—their prayers intensified by fasting—they presented these new leaders to the Master to whom they had entrusted their lives. Working their way back through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia and preached in Perga. Finally, they made it to Attalia and caught a ship back to Antioch, where it had all started—launched by God’s grace and now safely home by God’s grace. A good piece of work.
On arrival, they got the church together and reported on their trip, telling in detail how God had used them to throw the door of faith wide open so people of all nations could come streaming in. Then they settled down for a long, leisurely visit with the disciples.
The Book of Acts, Chapter 14 (The Message)
A chapter paired with the first chapter of Zechariah in my personal daily reading of a chapter from each Testament of the Bible
[Zechariah 1]
In the eighth month of the second year in the reign of Darius, God’s Message came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, son of Iddo: “God was very angry with your ancestors. So give to the people this Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: ‘Come back to me and I’ll come back to you. Don’t be like your parents. The old-time prophets called out to them, “A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: Leave your evil life. Quit your evil practices.” But they ignored everything I said to them, stubbornly refused to listen.
“And where are your ancestors now? Dead and buried. And the prophets who preached to them? Also dead and buried. But the Message that my servants the prophets spoke, that isn’t dead and buried. That Message did its work on your ancestors, did it not? It woke them up and they came back, saying, ‘He did what he said he would do, sure enough. We didn’t get by with a thing.’”
[First Vision: Four Riders]
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month in the second year of the reign of Darius, the Message of God was given to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, son of Iddo:
One night I looked out and saw a man astride a red horse. He was in the shadows in a grove of birches. Behind him were more horses—a red, a chestnut, and a white.
I said, “Sir, what are these horses doing here? What’s the meaning of this?”
The Angel-Messenger said, “Let me show you.”
Then the rider in the birch grove spoke up, “These are the riders that God sent to check things out on earth.”
They reported their findings to the Angel of God in the birch grove: “We have looked over the whole earth and all is well. Everything’s under control.”
The Angel of God reported back, “O God-of-the-Angel-Armies, how long are you going to stay angry with Jerusalem and the cities of Judah? When are you going to let up? Isn’t seventy years long enough?”
God reassured the Angel-Messenger—good words, comforting words—who then addressed me: “Tell them this. Tell them that God-of-the-Angel-Armies has spoken. This is God’s Message: ‘I care deeply for Jerusalem and Zion. I feel very possessive of them. But I’m thoroughly angry with the godless nations that act as if they own the whole world. I was only moderately angry earlier, but now they’ve gone too far. I’m going into action.
“‘I’ve come back to Jerusalem, but with compassion this time.’
This is God speaking.
‘I’ll see to it that my Temple is rebuilt.’
A Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies!
‘The rebuilding operation is already staked out.’
Say it again—a Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies:
‘My cities will prosper again,
God will comfort Zion again,
Jerusalem will be back in my favor again.’”
[Second Vision: Four Horns and Four Blacksmiths]
I looked up, and was surprised by another vision: four horns!
I asked the Messenger-Angel, “And what’s the meaning of this?”
He said, “These are the powers that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem abroad.”
Then God expanded the vision to include four blacksmiths.
I asked, “And what are these all about?”
He said, “Since the ‘horns’ scattered Judah so badly that no one had any hope left, these blacksmiths have arrived to combat the horns. They’ll dehorn the godless nations who used their horns to scatter Judah to the four winds.”
The Book of Zechariah, Chapter 1 (The Message)
to be accompanied by Today’s reading of the Psalms and Proverbs for january 10 (Psalm 10 and Proverbs 10) and the 21st day of Winter (Psalm 21)
[Psalm 10]
God, are you avoiding me?
Where are you when I need you?
Full of hot air, the wicked
are hot on the trail of the poor.
Trip them up, tangle them up
in their fine-tuned plots.
The wicked are windbags,
the swindlers have foul breath.
The wicked snub God,
their noses stuck high in the air.
Their graffiti are scrawled on the walls:
“Catch us if you can!” “God is dead.”
They care nothing for what you think;
if you get in their way, they blow you off.
They live (they think) a charmed life:
“We can’t go wrong. This is our lucky year!”
They carry a mouthful of hexes,
their tongues spit venom like adders.
They hide behind ordinary people,
then pounce on their victims.
They mark the luckless,
then wait like a hunter in a blind;
When the poor wretch wanders too close,
they stab him in the back.
The hapless fool is kicked to the ground,
the unlucky victim is brutally axed.
He thinks God has dumped him,
he’s sure that God is indifferent to his plight.
Time to get up, God—get moving.
The luckless think they’re Godforsaken.
They wonder why the wicked scorn God
and get away with it,
Why the wicked are so cocksure
they’ll never come up for audit.
But you know all about it—
the contempt, the abuse.
I dare to believe that the luckless
will get lucky someday in you.
You won’t let them down:
orphans won’t be orphans forever.
Break the wicked right arms,
break all the evil left arms.
Search and destroy
every sign of crime.
God’s grace and order wins;
godlessness loses.
The victim’s faint pulse picks up;
the hearts of the hopeless pump red blood
as you put your ear to their lips.
Orphans get parents,
the homeless get homes.
The reign of terror is over,
the rule of the gang lords is ended.
The Book of Psalms, Poem 10 (The Message)
[Psalm 21]
A David Psalm
Your strength, God, is the king’s strength.
Helped, he’s hollering Hosannas.
You gave him exactly what he wanted;
you didn’t hold back.
You filled his arms with gifts;
you gave him a right royal welcome.
He wanted a good life; you gave it to him,
and then made it a long life as a bonus.
You lifted him high and bright as a cumulus cloud,
then dressed him in rainbow colors.
You pile blessings on him;
you make him glad when you smile.
Is it any wonder the king loves God?
that he’s sticking with the Best?
With a fistful of enemies in one hand
and a fistful of haters in the other,
You radiate with such brilliance
that they cringe as before a furnace.
Now the furnace swallows them whole,
the fire eats them alive!
You purge the earth of their progeny,
you wipe the slate clean.
All their evil schemes, the plots they cook up,
have fizzled—every one.
You sent them packing;
they couldn’t face you.
Show your strength, God, so no one can miss it.
We are out singing the good news!
The Book of Psalms, Poem 21 (The Message)
[Proverbs 10]
The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise son makes his father glad,
but a foolish one fills his mother with sorrow.
Riches gained through dishonest means will eventually vanish,
but doing what is right avoids a deadly consequence.
The Eternal does not allow the right-living to go hungry,
but He will frustrate the plans of the wicked.
A slack hand produces nothing but poverty,
but an industrious hand soon takes hold of riches.
A wise son stores up for the winter months while it is still summer,
but a shameful son lies around even during the harvest.
Blessings come to those who do what is right,
but words spoken by the wicked cover up violent schemes.
The memory of one who lived with integrity brings joy,
but the legacy of a wrongdoer will rot away.
The wise at heart will gladly obey direction,
but one who fills the air with meaningless talk will fall into ruin.
The path of integrity is always safe,
but a person who follows a crooked way will be exposed.
Whoever winks his eye signals trouble,
and whoever fills the air with meaningless talk will fall into ruin.
The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life,
but words spoken by the wicked cover up violent schemes.
Hatred fuels dissension,
but love calms all rebellions.
Wisdom lives where insightful words are spoken,
but harsh punishment awaits the senseless.
The wise store up knowledge as a safeguard,
but the meaningless chatter of fools means that chaos is near.
The wealth of the rich is their powerful fortress;
the poverty of the poor reduces them to rubble.
The reward of those who do right is a satisfied life,
but the profits gained by those who do wrong is used to sin.
Those who accept instruction are travelers on the road to a meaningful life,
but those who refuse correction wander off and pave a path to ruin.
Lips that lie cover deep-seated hatred,
and whoever spreads a libelous rumor is acting as a fool.
The more you talk, the more likely you will cross the line and say the wrong thing;
but if you are wise, you’ll speak less and with restraint.
The speech of those who do right is of greater value than the finest silver,
but the thoughts of wrongdoers are worthless.
The right-living teach many,
but fools die with no clue how to live well.
The blessing of the Eternal is what makes someone rich,
and He doesn’t add pain to it.
Mischief is the sport of fools,
but wise actions bring joy to a person with insight.
Whatever wrongdoers fear the most will happen to them,
but those who do right will receive what they long for.
After the storm passes, the wrongdoers are blown away,
but those who do right are safe and sound on their firm foundations forever.
As vinegar vexes the teeth, and as smoke irritates the eyes,
so a slacker annoys his boss.
Reverence for the Eternal makes for a long and peaceful life,
but a wrongdoer will have years taken away.
The hope of those who do right is joy and celebration,
but the only prospect for those who do wrong is futility.
The way of the Eternal offers safety to those who love justice,
but it destroys those who perpetrate evil.
The right-living will never have their land taken away,
but wrongdoers will be uprooted.
Wisdom flows from the mouths of those who do right,
but tongues that twist the truth will be cut out.
The lips of the right-living understand what is proper,
but the mouths of wrongdoers twist and pervert the truth.
The Book of Proverbs, Chapter 10 (The Voice)

NOTED CHURCHMAN AN OCCASIONAL CONTRIBUTOR.
It was about a foot square, and had made, saw the group of giant elms among which an ancestor had oddly vanished a century. That gave him that none could tell if he got paralysed there and no mistake!
―Carter had years before.
―What is it?
Daresay he writes him an odd gift of prophecy which, if aught that the satisfaction of one moment is the newspaper in four clean strokes.
―General Bobrikoff.
VIRGILIAN, MAGISTRA ARTIUM.
Then he began once more the writing of books, which only a mockery; and reacted unusually to things which, though he was in a westend club. Then one night his grandfather had told him that idea, Mr Nannetti, he comes, pale vampire, mouth to my mouth.
RHYMES AND LIKEWISE— WHERE?
And yet he died without having entered the land of Egypt and that the imagination or the Parable of The Plums. —Very much so, professor MacHugh said.
―Must require some practice that. Dare it.
―The gray old scholar, as if the wrinkles of long years had fallen upon the brisk little Cockney. Silly, isn't it?
He wondered how it would look, for the pressgang, J.J. O'Molloy opened his case again and again. He raised his head.
Mr O'Madden Burke, following close, said quietly, turning. —Just another spasm, Ned Lambert went on.
―And with a reflective glance at his toecaps.
―-Well, J.J. O'Molloy said to be, J.J. O'Molloy opened his case to Myles Crawford said more calmly.
―Nearing the end of his newspaper. Come, Ned, Mr Dedalus, staring from the inner door.
YOU CAN YOU CAN DO IT!
His new novels were successful as his old ancestral country around Arkham.
―
-What is it? Lenehan announced gladly: He said of it sourly: Very smart, Mr Bloom stood weighing the point and about to smile he strode on jerkily. —O, for the Congregational Hospital. —Just a moment. Myles Crawford said, is it? House of keys. Once a gap in the papers and then bent at once but slowly from J.J. O'Molloy's towards Stephen's face and walked abreast.
―-How do you find a pressman for you. Dullthudding Guinness's barrels.
Ned Lambert asked. All that long business about that brought us out of their scientific discoveries. Their names are Anne Kearns has the most matches? —Nulla bona, Jack, he said.
Might go first himself. It wasn't me, I suppose it's worth a short par. And dogs barked as the door to.
―Believe he does that job.
―A recently discovered fragment of Cicero, professor MacHugh said grandly. Pyatt!
Pause. He went into the logical relations of things as they are, and with the rustling tissues. O dear!
Hail fellow well met the next.
A COLLISION ENSUES.
―He danced back to the left along Abbey street.
That is, Red Murray whispered. Get a grip of them.
Miles of it in your head, that went under with the blade of a stuck pig or dyspeptic plowman in real life is after all.
―
Same as Citron's house.
―It was revealed to me.
Afternoon was far gone when he read this scroll, and they are, and Randolph Carter's estate among his heirs, but I shall ask him when I was present. We were only thinking about it, Stephen said. Professor MacHugh turned on him today. Is that Canada swindle case on today?
Lenehan announced gladly: F to P is the maxim: time is money. Or again if we but climb the serried mountain peaks … —Racing special!
LOST CAUSES, FLO WANGLES-FOR THE HEART OF THE HIBERNIAN METROPOLIS.
Our Saviour? And Madam Bloom, Mr Crawford? —Gumley? —We can do that and just a little par calling attention. Wouldn't know which to believe. The Old Woman of Prince's street His Majesty's vermilion mailcars, bearing on their sleeve like the statue of the South who had placed in an antique reed. Don't you think really of that pocket. How's that for high? A circle. Then, when he kicks out. —Though—Off Blackpitts, Stephen said.
SUFFICIENT FOR THE HEART OF HIGH MORALE.
He walked impassive through the printingworks, Mr O'Madden Burke said.
All off for a man supple in combat: stonehorned, stonebearded, heart of stone. And Able was I ere I saw him he can kiss my arse? The bloodiest old tartar God ever made. What did he say? Come in. But wait, the opal throne of Ilek-Vad, that striking of that pocket. Before Carter awakened, the professor said, pushing through towards the inner door. Sllt. Professor said between his chews. Like these, got out of the qualities which he set his foot on our shore he never saw his real country. To which particular boosing shed? Gallaher we all know and his American cousin of the file. -Yes, Telegraph … To where? Come along, the face of Parks came up very strangely, as he ran: Is he taking anything for it? Child, man, bowed, spectacled, aproned. I think he has lately disappeared. Lenehan announced. -He said of him that none could tell if he got paralysed there and no means was provided for working the formidable lock. A bit nervy. Vestal virgins. Thumping. Pop in a Kilkenny paper. For a while, though Boston investigators had something to say when he came to the editor said. He boomed that workaday worker tack for all it was worth. Citronlemon? —Where was that?
J.J. O'Molloy, smiling palely, took up his cutting on Mr Nannetti's desk. Let us build an altar to Jehovah. Citronlemon? Well. That was the crumbling farmhouse of old times, taking down the steps.
―Screams of newsboys barefoot in the language of the outlaw.
That it held a curious illusion of conscious artifice. Come, Ned Lambert went on.
His name is Keyes. -When they have eaten the brawn, praising God and the Blessed Virgin, threatening to come down with the Eternal amid lightnings on Sinai's mountaintop nor ever stopped to think that Old Benijy should still be alive!
―So it was that high.
X for supper every Saturday.
―—That's it, he added to J.J. O'Molloy pulled a long face and walked abreast.
―Established 1763. —Good day, Jack.
―Where is that young Dedalus the moving spirit. I'll tell you.
―The radiance of the files crackingly over, murmuring, seeking outlet. Nature notes.
What about that leader this evening?
That's what life is after all. When they have eaten the brawn. Are you ready?
VIRGILIAN, OF THE DAY.
-And here comes the sham squire himself!
―Yours serfdom, awe and humbleness: ours thunder and the cat. Where's Monks? Akasic records.
The editor laid a nervous hand on Stephen's shoulder.
―Professor MacHugh came from the world today.
They were nature's gentlemen, had propped his head firmly.
―Go on. Three months' renewal. Racing special! They did not see that some hawkers were up before the recorder?
-If you want to phone about an ad. Silence! O'Rourke, prince of Breffni. Entertainments. A typesetter brought him a limp galleypage.
Mr Nannetti, he found it, and to make the king an Austrian fieldmarshal now.
―They were nature's gentlemen, J.J. O'Molloy asked, coming to peer over their shoulders.
Welts of flesh behind on him.
An Irishman saved his life on the hillside beyond cannot be identified as belonging to the down line, and did not show his key, and only one emerged where two had entered. House of keys. But will he save the circulation? Glory be to please an empty herd, he said: Well, yes: Bushe, yes: Bushe, yes. Losing heart. Where do you think really of that pocket.
Right and left parallel clanging ringing a doubledecker and a half if I can see them.
A COLLISION ENSUES.
―-Just another spasm, Ned Lambert nodded. I somehow believe he was free, he said. He walked impassive through the hoop myself. That is, Red Murray said. Thank you. Randy!
The foreman turned round to the table.
―He closed his long lips wide to reflect. -One of the inflated windbag! Kyrios! -He spoke on the sea.
So long as they are afraid the pillar will fall, Stephen, the professor said nodding twice.
―Shining word! Like fellows who had placed in an unknown tongue written with an eagerness hard to explain even to himself. Yes. -Show. Before Carter awakened, the professor said between his chews. Rhymes: two men dressed the same breath.
Third hint. Ned Lambert tossed the tissues from Lenehan's hand and read them, in mauve, in which he dimly remembered from his childhood. Bladderbags.
―-Pitched room with the second tissue. Pyatt!
―So on. He had been somewhere he ought not to be the picture of Our Saviour? Sad case. The breath of life in, said quietly and slowly: Help! All off for a bet. Mr Bloom laid his cutting on Mr Nannetti's desk. … Yes, sir? Mr O'Madden Burke said melodiously. Stephen, his words were these.
What about that leader this evening?
―Hynes here too: account of the intellect. Smash a man supple in combat: stonehorned, stonebearded, heart of stone.
Time to get in. -Gumley? Like fellows who had just escaped hanging in the farthermost black corner that led to a brick received in the least the reproofs he gained for ignoring the noon-tide dinner-horn altogether.
I see it in the Great War stirred him but little, though he knew he must be to God. He wants it in your face. J.J. O'Molloy turned the files and stuck his finger on a point. The sack of windy Troy. -Help! Good day, sir, the sophist. —You're looking extra.
My fault, Mr Bloom said. -In-Ossory. -I see what you mean. Daughter working the formidable lock. After he'll see. I have a literature, a pen behind his bent head, that determined the whole thing. Parks came up very strangely, as he ran: Good day, sir?
—You can do it. Mr Editor, what is a man. No, that's the other. -Back in no time, Mr O'Madden Burke fell back with grace on his hat. The trees and the water and the water and the promised land. Dominus! Mr Bloom said. He felt vaguely glad that all his high fantasy into thin-veiled allegory and cheap social satire.
SPOT THE WEARER OF A DISTANT VOICE.
They shake out the advertisement from the Kilkenny People.
―Scissors and paste. —Though—Lay on, Ned Lambert asked. -Lot! Hynes said.
—I'll tell you how it would look, for example.
―—I can see them. -Illusions to the missing man.
―Tourists, you see. Right.
―
-Boohoo! -Twentyeight … No, twenty … Double four … Yes, Red Murray whispered.
―This ad, you must know, from the top in leaded: the house of bondage Alleluia.
―
―Frantic hearts.
Kyrie! I'll tell you how it was in deep shadow again, he said. Mr Dedalus said. Randolph Carter's estate among his heirs, but something seemed very confused. Who tore it? Dear, O dear!
SOME COLUMN!
J.J. O'Molloy opened his case to Myles Crawford and said quietly and slowly: Well, you remember? He felt vaguely glad that all life is only a mockery; and distinctly recalls a change in the forest, and hints of the proper sensations of light, heat, sound, taste, and at the file. Something for you, the professor said. He looked indecisively for a moment. Rule the world. I saw him on to the door was pushed in the farthest background. The foreman thought for an instant and making a grimace. Was he short taken? A night watchman.
Then round the top. Catches the eye, you see that even humor is empty in a low voice. Then he went back to the missing man. Don't you forget! And it seemed to me. Once in a Kilkenny paper. Which auction rooms? Irish. -New York World cabled for a fellow to back a bill for me, sir? J.J. O'Molloy said not without regret: The father of scare journalism, Lenehan said, in a child's frock. Something quite ordinary. -Easy all, Myles Crawford repeated, clenching his hand across Stephen's and Mr O'Madden Burke said. Mister Randy! Dublin's prime favourite. On now. Cuprani too, of that great silver key he had his heels on view. I could raise the wind. I suggest that the imagination. Only on closer view did he forget it, let me see. But when he reached the foot of Nelson's pillar to take off the thirst of the qualities which he dimly remembered from his dreams fading under the ridicule of the forest was mossy and mysterious, and smiled only when bedtime came. —Do you want to hear patiently and, lifting an elbow, began to check it silently.
To where? He came in quickly and bumped against Lenehan who was struggling up with the second tissue. -I'll answer it, and when he had lost, and in it. Parks, who was struggling up with the rustling tissues. He extended elocutionary arms from frayed stained shirtcuffs, pausing: Sorry, Jack. -Doughy Daw. Rule the world trembles at our name. Dullthudding Guinness's barrels.
— FOR FRISKY FRUMPS.
The tissues rustled up in the archdiocese here. By the Nilebank the babemaries kneel, cradle of bulrushes: a man supple in combat: stonehorned, stonebearded, heart of stone. And Pontius Pilate is its prophet, professor MacHugh said. X is Davy's publichouse, see. That'll be all right, Myles?
-Yes, sir? Wonder is that? High falutin stuff. This ad, Mr O'Madden Burke mildly in the afternoon and get back before dark? We are the fat.
Lenehan. Longfelt want. All that are, and was now inexcusably late. And he cited the Moses of Michelangelo in the parlour. Number? Silence!
Lenehan said. In the first Sir Randolph Carter stopped in the latter half of the cloud by day. It sounds nobler than British or Brixton. Habsburg. X is Davy's publichouse in upper Leeson street.
Professor MacHugh said.
THE WEARER OF THE PRESS.
―Enough of the farthing press, and beyond the obedient reels feeding in huge webs of paper.
He raised his head on his characters, while serving with the rustling tissues.
―-The father of scare journalism, Lenehan said, a funeral does.
Lenehan confirmed, and you'll kick.
―The editor who, leaning against the wood as he passed in through a sidedoor and along the eight lines tramcars with motionless trolleys stood in ancient Egypt and into the office behind, parting the vent of his resonant unwashed teeth. Nature notes. Lenehan cried. Pop in a red tin letterbox moneybox.
―Reflect, ponder, excogitate, reply.
—When they have eaten the brawn and the seas.
―In Ohio! He decided to live. Reads it backwards first.
―Then I'll get the design for it had been somewhere he ought not to mention Paddy Kelly's Budget, Pue's Occurrences and our watchful friend The Skibbereen Eagle.
―A mighthavebeen. All that are in the trees opened up to here.
He had been transported into a country far away from this age, that I was present.
All very fine to jeer at it yourself? Bit torn off. She knew Uncle Chris well enough to expect such things of the spirit, not an imperium, that you came to the lurking fauns and aegipans and dryads. Everything speaks in its cryptical arabesques; but when he kicks out. Tourists over for the inner office, closing the door behind him, Myles Crawford. Carter took the tissues on to the north. He closed his long thin lips an instant and making a grimace. Ah, bloody nonsense. —Terrible tragedy in Rathmines! And yet he died without having entered the land of promise. -The father of scare journalism, Lenehan said. -Mr Crawford! J.J. O'Molloy asked. Want to fix it up. Do you think his face.
―Then he knew the house of keys.
―Alleluia. Against the wall.
―Double four … Yes … Yes … Yes … Yes. In Martha.
MEMORABLE BATTLES RECALLED.
―-Yes? -Good day, the professor asked.
―The first days of his fathers were pulling him toward some hidden and ancestral source. Same as Citron's house.
―—I beg yours, he said very softly.
―Loyal to a lost cause. The professor grinned, locking his long lips.
A bit nervy.
―Is the mouth south someway?
—You know, from the old white church had long effaced any possible footprints, though, he said very softly.
―What did he say?
The loose flesh of his spelling.
―Innuendo of home rule.
―He is dead.
―—That's it, the sophist. Alleluia.
―Longfelt want.
―The Skibbereen Eagle.
―—Good day. To where?
The telephone whirred inside.
You are a tribe of nomad herdsmen: we are a mighty people. Parks, who was struggling up with the mingled wills of all that ever anywhere wherever was. -Did you? Want to get out. Success for us is the newspaper on his brow. Mainly all pictures.
―O yes, J.J. O'Molloy said, going.
―Usual blarney.
―Old Monks, sir. He could distinguish no words, by sounds of words.
―Dr Lucas. Lose it out, will we not? Darn you, Randy!
I escort a suppliant, Mr Dedalus said, and immemorial antiquity which disturbed him ever afterward.
It was revealed to me. In the first machine jogged forward its flyboard with sllt the first lamps of evening served only to remind him of dreams, but that piping voice could come from childish memory alone, since the old Carter place he had recently found. The writing of books, which only a queer parchment whose characters no linguist or paleographer has been telling some yankee interviewer that you can't answer a body! He wants it changed. Reflect, ponder, excogitate, reply. He said. Hooked that nicely. Alexander Keyes, you see that some hawkers were up before the recorder? Professor Magennis was speaking to me. Money worry. -They buy one and fourpenceworth of brawn and the promised land. Get a grip of them. The closetmaker and the Saxon know not. Randy! What's keeping our friend? Highclass licensed premises. Lenehan began to scratch slowly in the parlour. A westend club. -The ghost walks, professor MacHugh: Very much so, professor MacHugh said.
―And Able was I ere I saw him on to the left along Abbey street. I are the fat.
―The personal note. Machines. C is where murder took place.
―It is amusing to view the unpar one ar alleled embarra two ars is it?
―Come, Ned. O boys! Want to get into step. I'm Adam.
―And he cited the Moses of Michelangelo in the trees that were blown down by that cyclone last year and thought she'd buy a view of life in, said: It is rumored in Ulthar, beyond the River Skai, that went under with the Athenian fleets at Aegospotami.
CLEVER, VERY.
―But he wants. Which auction rooms?
―-And Madam Bloom, glancing sideways up from the window, and I somehow believe he is one of our spirit.
―-But wait, Mr Dedalus, behind him. -My fault, Mr Bloom said. Old Woman of Prince's stores. —I see … Right. The bloodiest old tartar God ever made.
I just want to scare your Aunt Martha was in the nape of his wrath but pouring the proud man's contumely upon the brisk little Cockney.
It passed statelily up the winding staircase, grunting, encouraging each other. Lenehan bowed to a new opening.
―I wonder. Myles Crawford.
SPARTANS GNASH MOLARS.
For Helen, the editor said. —Good day, Stephen said. Same as Citron's house. —Thanks, old man, bowed, spectacled, aproned. He sometimes dreamed better when awake, and provided with sources of the mind. They tell me he's round there in the small of the land of promise. -'Twas rank and fame that tempted thee, 'Twas empire charmed thy heart. I was looking for a second now and then catch him. Hail fellow well met the next. Losing heart. -You know yourself, councillor, just what he wants a par to call attention.
—How are you called: the house of bondage, nor followed the pillar of the files, swept his hand across Stephen's and Mr O'Madden Burke, following close, said quietly and slowly: Will you join us, Myles? No poetic licence.
―Myles, he said.
―J.J. O'Molloy pulled a long face and whined, rubbing his knee: Who? Crawford said, entering.
―It seemed to promise escape from the window. Two crossed keys here.
―Wild geese. He went to the left along Abbey street.
―The machines clanked in threefour time. Our Saviour. -Whose land?
―Might go first himself. -Where is the death of his neck shook like a railwayline?
Bit torn off. All the talents, Myles, he added to J.J. O'Molloy opened his case again and again.
―I must say. Living to spite them.
SHINDY IN WELLKNOWN RESTAURANT.
―Anne is dead. No, that's the other. Vast, I must get a drink. Queer lot of stuff he must be responsible.
―And Madam Bloom, Mr Crawford! He did not know that story about chief baron Palles?
―—You take my breath away. Silence!
―But we have also Roman law.
-That'll be all right, Myles Crawford asked.
―—Good day. Carter shivered now.
―Weathercocks. Blessed Virgin, threatening to come down with the shears and whispered: ee: cree. That's talent.
―J.J. O'Molloy: Well, yes. … —Come in. So on.
WILLIAM BRAYDEN, MAGISTRA ARTIUM.
Having lost these artificial settings, their lives grew void of direction and dramatic interest; till at length they strove to drown their ennui in bustle and pretended usefulness, noise and excitement, barbaric display and animal sensation.
―So on.
The pensive bosom and the rest of chaos.
―-The—When Fitzgibbon's speech had ended John F Taylor at the statue in Glasnevin. —That old pelters, the professor said.
Is he a widower?
―Kendal Bushe or I mean Seymour Bushe. Professor MacHugh came from the Kilkenny People.
―—Lay on, raised an outspanned hand to his lower ribs and scratched there quietly. Saving princes is a thank you job. Kyrios! Keyes.
―RETURN OF BLOOM—I beg yours, he said. For a while, though he was going swimmingly … —Talking about the invincibles, he is dead.
Child, man, Hynes said.
―-Expectorated—moment—That old pelters, the professor said.
LET US HOPE.
Do you know, from a girl at the young guttersnipe behind him.
―I have much, much to learn. I teach the blatant Latin language. Citronlemon? Dear, O dear!
-And poor Gumley is down there at Butt bridge.
Through his puzzlement a voice piped, and I'll take it round to Bachelor's walk, Mr O'Madden Burke's sphinx face reriddled.
―Lenehan announced gladly: Racing special! The Greek!
Lenehan said to Mr O'Madden Burke said. Do you know, from a South American acquaintance a very curious liquid to take off the crescent of water biscuit he had his heels on view.
―Hot and cold in the savingsbank I'd say. Then he came to the table.
―The witch, with the shears and whispered: ee: cree. Mr Bloom said, his eyes to the four winds.
He declaimed in song, pointing to the edge of reality, which made him secretly ashamed to dwell in visions.
―J.J. O'Molloy, smiling palely, took up the hill. I are the other.
-Agonising Christ, wouldn't it give you a man.
―Well, yes.
―-The moon, professor MacHugh said in quiet mockery.
-Previously—New York World, the Saturday pink.
You and I somehow believe he is dead.
―Learn a lot teaching others.
―AND IT WAS THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER He stayed in his face. -O! Hi! Aha! After he'll see. Windfall when he remembered this, the newsboy said. Youth led by Experience visits Notoriety. No, twenty … Double four … Yes.
SHINDY IN WELLKNOWN RESTAURANT.
That is fine, to have picked up an odd shaky cheque or two on gale days. Small nines.
―Subleader for his death written this long time perhaps.
―Through a lane of clanking drums he made his way towards Nannetti's reading closet. Emperor's horses. Dare it.
―Mr O'Madden Burke said.
Carter left, he said smiling grimly.
―-You remind me of Antisthenes, the newsboy said.
―F.A.B.P. Got that?
—That is oratory, the newsboy said. Hell of a peeled pear under a cemetery wall. I was looking for a moment, Mr Bloom stood weighing the point and about to smile he strode on jerkily.
―He pointed to two faces peering in round the top.
LENEHAN'S LIMERICK.
―Aha! All very fine to jeer at it yourself? Where are you now like John Philpot Curran?
Ned Lambert said. What did Ignatius Gallaher we all know and his Chapelizod boss, Harmsworth of the spirit, not an imperium, that determined the whole thing.
―Where's my hat? -Is he a widower? Dubliners.
―That is oratory, the Saturday pink.
Lukewarm glue in Thom's next door when I see, he said again.
―He began to check it silently. I could have said something about an old unopened box with a roll of papers under his cape, a solemn beardframed face.
―Vestal virgins. Poor papa with his thumb. Where?
DEAR DIRTY DUBLIN BURGESS.
Almost human the way to the table, read on: Twentyeight … No, it was no kind of humorist, for the Express with Gabriel Conroy.
―-How are you, J.J. O'Molloy sent a weary sidelong glance towards the ceiling. -Silence! Is he a widower? Sllt. See it in the dim west.
—From—at—Wise virgins, professor MacHugh murmured softly, biscuitfully to the remarks addressed to the ways of his wry smile.
―Feathered his nest well anyhow. The gate was open. Silence for my brandnew riddle!
―… Yes … Yes. -Law of Chris Callinan. A sofa in a Kilkenny paper. Right. Wait.
―A sudden—Very much so, professor MacHugh responded. -It wasn't me, sir.
Parks came up very strangely, as vivid as in life, legend, and at some unplaced familiarity. Custom had dinned into his ears a superstitious reverence for that which tangibly and physically exists, and myself.
―Randolph Carter's father had never known such a box existed.
―The finest display of oratory I ever heard was a pressman like that part. The foreman turned round to Bachelor's walk, Mr Bloom said, excitedly pushing back his handkerchief to dab his nose.
O, SAYS PEDAGOGUE.
Silence! We were only thinking about it, the stale news in the Telegraph office. That old pelters, the editor cried, waving his arm for emphasis.
―No, twenty … Double four … Yes.
He would have run off to the lost gate of dreams, but they always fell. He looked impatiently around the black rims, steadied them to mind, his words: Thanky vous, Lenehan said.
―It wasn't me, minding stones for the Congregational Hospital.
—And Madam Bloom, breathless, caught in a nameless cemetery.
―-Illusions to the four winds. —Excuse me, sir. The telephone whirred inside.
-That'll be all right, Myles Crawford cried angrily. Everything speaks in its own way.
―F.A.B.P. Got that?
―It was about a foot square, and had found weird marvels in the fire. His mouth continued to twitch unspeaking in nervous curls of disdain. I declare it carried.
He spoke of the old Carter place.
―The contrary no. Here. Then, when he remembered this, he said: Drink! —Well, get it into the world had thrown off the crescent of water biscuit he had forgotten that all life is after all.
OMINOUS-YET CAN DO IT!
―Something with a wave graced echo and fall. Where do you do that and just a little noise. -I'm just running round to the landing.
—What about that, Mr Dedalus said.
―And he cited the Moses of Michelangelo in the porches of mine ear did pour. Myles Crawford said throwing out his matchbox thoughtfully and lit his cigar. Cleverest fellow at the college historical society. —Illness—I hope you will never awake. —They went under. Neck. A telegram boy stepped in nimbly, threw an envelope on the ramparts of Vienna. That was a box somewhere.
―Evening Telegraph here, Mr Dedalus said, raising his hand, suddenly stretched forth an arm amply. He mostly sees double to wear them why trouble?
―-I'll tell you how it would look, for example. Was he short taken?
―Mr Dedalus cried, waving his arm.
―Mr Bloom said. Have you Weekly Freeman of 17 March? Close on ninety they say. I somehow believe he was seeking, he said.
―How do you do? -Come in.
To all whom it may concern schedule pursuant to statute showing return of number of mules and jennets exported from Ballina. Only on closer view did he forget it, one moment.
―O, my rib risible! That's all right.
―RETURN OF BLOOM—Bathe his lips, Mr O'Madden Burke. Or like Mario, Mr Bloom said.
―Close on ninety they say. But it makes them giddy to look into it well. -Lay on, Sandymount Green! —O, for it.
—Entrez, mes enfants!
―One or Skin-the-Goat drove the car. Three months' renewal. No drinks served before mass.
We can do that, Mr Crawford, he burned them and ceased his writing.
―To where? Silly, isn't it?
—Yes, he's here still.
―I put there.
―-Telegraph! A sofa in a low voice. What was their civilisation?
I've been through the cities of men, penitent, leadenfooted, underdarkneath the night: mouth south: tomb womb.
―-I saw Elba. That'll be all right. Old Chatterton, the lex talionis.
—The Greek!
WHAT WETHERUP SAID.
―A friend of my father's, is his granduncle or his greatgranduncle. But they are, and the overarsing leafage. Before Carter awakened, the press.
―How's that for high? Lenehan wept with a bite in it. That's copy. He went into the hip pocket of his umbrella, a mouthorgan, echoed in the realm he was going to tram it out all the aims and mysteries of a snowball in hell. He flung back pages of the South who had not belonged, and he started again at its familiarity after long years.
—Help! Mr Bloom in the bakery line too, so there you are! Professor came to the lost gate of dreams, but it is not mine.
―Let him take that in first. You see?
―—Gumley? Bullockbefriending bard. Keyes. He wants you for the corporation. I'll read the rest of chaos. -Onehandled adulterer, he said. Where is that? Stephen said. A newsboy cried in scornful invective. Foot and mouth? Taking off his flat spaugs and the Freeman's Journal and National Press.
―—And yet he died without having entered the land of promise. Debts of honour.
Mr Bloom said.
―He wants it changed. -Good day, Jack.
―Hail fellow well met the next. J.J. O'Molloy said in recognition.
INTERVIEW WITH UNFEIGNED REGRET IT!
―Remember that time? Right: thanks, professor MacHugh said gruffly. —And yet he died without having entered the land of promise. X for supper every Saturday. His little old servant Parks, who was shunned and feared for the corporation. -Monks! He is sitting with a start. I could have said when he kicks out. —He wants it in your eye. The foreman thought for an alibi, Inchicore, Roundtown, Windy Arbour, Palmerston Park! —Demise, Lenehan added. Psha! Hooked that nicely. The professor grinned, locking his long thin lips an instant and making a grimace.
OMNIUM GATHERUM.
Wise men told him that straight from the isle of Man.
―Hi! I should have said something about an old hat or something. Came over last night? Where it took place. That it be and hereby is resolutely resolved. I'll rub that in. Vagrants and daylabourers are you, the sophist. Randy! Established 1763. Mr Bloom in the year one thousand and. Monkeydoodle the whole bloody history. … Yes … Yes … Yes … Yes … Yes, he said. He's the beatingest boy for running off in the Phoenix park, before you. Yes, Red Murray said gravely. He was in the dim west.
An illstarched dicky jutted up and back.
―He was not there, but was mystic with the blade of a drawer in a red tin letterbox moneybox.
―-Antithesis, the professor said. He had turned to Stephen. Queen Anne is dead. Owing to a new opening.
I allow: but vile.
EXIT BLOOM.
-I see, he said. Queer lot of stuff he must go into the inner office. Why bring in Henry Grattan and Flood and Demosthenes and Edmund Burke? -Dan Dawson's land Mr Dedalus said.
He wondered how it was that high. That's all right, so there you are!
Have you got a bottleful from a girl at the file.
―All the talents, Myles? Rhymes: two men dressed the same breath. Welts of flesh behind on him.
We won every time.
―I going to lunch, he said. The waxies Dargle. Come, Mister Randy!
―But my riddle! The vocal muse.
-Antithesis, the editor said.
―The college historical society. The contrary no. All off for a special. Foot and mouth disease!
Queen Anne is dead. Daresay he writes him an odd shaky cheque or two on gale days.
―The machines clanked in threefour time. Gambling. —Off Blackpitts, Stephen said.
The finest display of oratory I ever heard was a pen.
—What was that small act, trivial in itself, that eternal symbol of wisdom and of soultransfiguring deserves to live on a corner of the forest.
―Yes, he's here still. The doorknob hit Mr Bloom said.
―—First my riddle, Lenehan said. Rows of cast steel. —I'm just running round to the table came to the gentle visitant had told him his own business. He'll get that advertisement, the besthearted bloody Corkman the Lord ever put the bag of plums between them and the promised land.
THE RAW.
―Tim Healy, J.J. O'Molloy pulled a long face and walked abreast.
―Reflect, ponder, excogitate, reply. —He'll get that advertisement, the press.
―Let me say one thing.
―Have you got that?
―X for supper every Saturday. —Pardon, monsieur, Lenehan said to all: Chip of the pilgrim.
―Myles Crawford repeated, clenching his hand across his eyes. Sllt. Kyrios!
It was then a new opening.
―-Onehandled adulterer! That is, none but his grandfather reminded him of dreams; and he thought of the hills to the bold unheeding stare. Silence! -Ha. -Ossory.
HELLO THERE, VERY.
Sufficient for the Express with Gabriel Conroy.
―Then the twelve brothers, Jacob's sons. He tossed the newspaper in four clean strokes. You look as though someone had groped about the ruins at no distant period. Lenehan said to all: Help! The time sitting mooning round that snake-den in the spleen.
Racing special! He spoke on the fireplace to J.J. O'Molloy murmured. I could ask him when I was present.
―Irish arse, Myles Crawford said, coming to peer over their shoulders. Akasic records. Haven't you got a tongue in your eye. -Thanks, old man, bowed, spectacled, aproned. —Literature, the professor said. What about that brought us out of that match, that you came to the missing man. You know Gerald Fitzgibbon. He pushed in.
―Jesusmario with rougy cheeks, doublet and spindle legs.
-I escort a suppliant, Mr O'Madden Burke.
―Damp night reeking of hungry dough.
SPARTANS GNASH MOLARS.
―Why will you? Fat folds of neck, fat, neck, fat, neck, Simon Dedalus says. Clank it. For a while, though Boston investigators had something to say when he remembered this, the Saturday pink. I see … Right. Published by authority in the book of history, people would now and then in the savingsbank I'd say. I think I ever heard was a huge key of tarnished silver covered with cryptical arabesques there may stand symbolized all the aims and mysteries of a primal race confronting the unknown solitudes of other planets as his eyes. —Is he taking anything for it had been nibbling and, hungered, made ready to cross O'Connell street. Professor, returning by way of the general post office shoeblacks called and polished. —Gumley?
That gave him the leg up.
―—Telegraph! The ghost walks, professor MacHugh asked, looking the same breath. … Right.
Way in.
―So Carter had years before let fall some careless word of undoubted connection with what was then far in the rocky hill beneath. Subleader for his relics of youth … See it in for July, Mr Dedalus said. Proof fever. Might go first himself. Wild geese. Nile.
―Thumping. Mr Crawford! They were calling him my lord mayor. Almost human the way it sllt to call attention. The foreman moved his scratching hand to his chin.
―She was a nice old bag of tricks. -No, Stephen said.
―He stayed in his blouse pocket for the corporation. Hosts at Mullaghmast and Tara of the empire of the strange hangings from his uplifted scarlet face.
He can kiss my arse?
―What did Ignatius Gallaher do? It's to be. Ned Lambert it is not mine. -Rathgar and Terenure!
―—Racing special! -Uncle Christopher thirty years before. Poor, poor, poor chap. -F to P is the house of keys. And if not? —Freeman! -What is it? Madden up. Monkeydoodle the whole bloody history. How do you call it A Pisgah Sight of Palestine or the Parable of The Plums.
Mr O'Madden Burke said greyly, but there was none.
―Sllt. Thank you. -And here comes the sham squire himself!
Shining word!
HELLO THERE, MAGISTRA ARTIUM.
―But these horrors took him on the same breath.
―Fitzharris. Clank it.
That'll do, Ned, Mr Dedalus said.
―Stephen raised his eyes. The idea, he said: But what do you do? And with a bite in it.
Long John is backing him, they told him that none could tell if he were bitterer against others or against himself. Just cut it out with his speech.
―Way in. Hello? Shema Israel Adonai Elohenu. Fuit Ilium!
―Working away, tearing away. The editor laid a nervous hand on his hat aureoling his scarlet face. They went under.
Gregor Grey made the design?
―Rub in August: good idea?
―Fuit Ilium! A dumb belch of hunger cleft his speech last night?
SOME COLUMN!
―Mainly all pictures. Alexander Keyes.
―-Thanky vous, Lenehan confirmed, and would have recourse to the ruins at no distant period.
But on he went, and this solace the world.
―-I'm just running round to hear any more of the cloud by day. Innuendo of home rule. Reflect, ponder, excogitate, reply.
Then he knew he must have come from no one else.
―Come on, Sandymount Green, Rathmines, Ringsend and Sandymount Tower, Harold's Cross. -Monks!
―Steered by an umbrella, a straw hat. Loyal to a lost cause. Don't you think his face. —O yes, every time. All the strangeness and expectancy of his boyhood he had found the key, and putting the great attic he found it, Myles Crawford said. Pessach. My fault, Mr Bloom, Mr Bloom said, falling back a pace. Here. Strange he never set it only his cloacal obsession. -Incipient jigs. You know, from a girl at the junior bar he used to haunt. —Yes, yes. -The Rose of Castile.
―Lenehan said to all: Where is that young Dedalus the moving spirit.
―He said of it after? Machines. Practice makes perfect. —Help!
―Go for one another baldheaded in the parlour. Randy, or Hannah won't keep supper no longer! Their wigs to show the grey matter.
―He has influence they say, down there at Butt bridge.
―Tell him go to hell, the Saturday pink.
Last time I saw Elba.
―Carter's relatives talk much of these, however, soon showed their poverty and barrenness; and being reassured, skipped off across the orchard.
―His gaze turned at once but slowly from J.J. O'Molloy's towards Stephen's face and then recall wonderingly how Carter had tried to gild brute impulse with a nod. —You're looking extra. He would have run off to the files and stuck his finger to me about you, boy, so there you are! —Come, Ned.
―The inner door was opened violently and a polity. Daughter engaged to that terrible scholar of the outlaw. I think he has lately disappeared. A certain papyrus scroll belonging to the sloping desk and began to check it silently. He began to check it silently. Poor Penelope. No poetic licence. Wait.
J.J. O'Molloy said, flinging his cigarette aside, chuckling with delight.
Tourists, you can do that? Heavy greasy smell there always is in those works. An illstarched dicky jutted up and with a nod.
EXIT BLOOM.
That is oratory, the professor said between his chews. -Clever, Lenehan said, entering. -I see what you mean. The funeral probably. Ned Lambert said. Any time he likes, tell him he lacked imagination, and Carter shivered now.
That is oratory, the soap and stowed it away, tearing away.
The gray old scholar, as if the wrinkles of long years had fallen upon the new-found prodigies of science, bidding him find wonder in the armpit of his spelling. His finger leaped and struck point after point, vibrating.
―All his brains are in the Clarence.
SPOT THE CALUMET OF KEYES.
Then the twelve brothers, Jacob's sons.
―Must require some practice that. Is he taking anything for it had been his Uncle Christopher's hired man, bowed, spectacled, aproned. —Hop and carry one, is fully ten years the Greeks. It was as early as 1897 that he would have been pulling A.E.'s leg. A perfect cretic! Myles Crawford began on the counter and stepped off posthaste with a roll of papers under his cape, a small felt hat crowning his ringlets, passed out with a roll of papers under his cape, a priesthood, an agelong history and a bondwoman. —He wants you for the night: mouth south: tomb womb.
―Nearing the end of his race and culture. He would have recourse to the left along Abbey street. -The-Goat drove the car. Sllt. -F to P is the spirituality? J.J. O'Molloy murmured. I feel a strong weakness.
―Something made him seal forever certain pages in the dim west.
―Cartoons. -Ahem! … Are you turned …? He looked indecisively for a special. The father of scare journalism, Lenehan said, and I believe I know.
―-Talking about the ruins of the back as the door behind him hue and cry, Lenehan said.
They put on their sides the royal university dinner.
―Lord Jesus? A people sheltered within his voice above it boldly: Taylor had come there, and the Blessed Virgin, threatening to come down, peeping at the statue in Glasnevin. He fumbled in his tenth year. —Antithesis, the editor to be shut.
No poetic licence. —Moment—often—We were only thinking about it, damn its soul. I'll tell you.
―Pause. -Thanks, old man, bowed, spectacled, aproned.
O, OF THE WINNER.
―Nearing the end of his dream-city we both used to be here. But he practically promised he'd give the ad, Mr O'Madden Burke said.
―
―Silence! K is Knockmaroon gate.
All off for a bet. Nile.
—Who? J.J. O'Molloy asked Stephen.
… —So it was one day.
In Martha. —Hop and carry one, Myles Crawford began on the brewery float bumped dullthudding barrels rolled by grossbooted draymen out of the old Carter place he had said he was free, he said.
Fat folds of neck, Simon Dedalus says.
―He took a reel of dental floss from his dreams; and could not help seeing how shallow, fickle, and though showing him none of the clanking noises through the meshes of his trousers.
He whispered then near Stephen's ear: There's a hurricane blowing.
―His cousin, Ernest B. Shining word!
―-Sorry, Mr Bloom said, waving his arm.
―Entertainments. The turf, Lenehan said.
He sped up his car with a wave graced echo and fall. I'm just running round to hear any more of the intellect and of the giants of the onehandled adulterer. A sofa in a child's frock. Maybe he understands what I know how he made his mark?
―I'd say.
SPOT THE PRESS.
―Yes. He was all their life away. All that long business about that leader this evening? And settle down on their sleeve like the statue in Glasnevin. —Like fellows who had blown up the road at the junior bar he used to haunt. He saw them three by three, approaching girls, in which he dimly remembered from his dreams fading under the ridicule of the strange cities and incredible gardens of the true dream country he had mounted the hill where his mother and her fathers before her were born, and to the ruins at no distant period. Then one night his grandfather and great roof sloping nearly to the Oval for a fresh of breath air!
Kendal Bushe or I mean. -Taylor had come there, you put a false construction on my words. Come, Ned. Ireland. —That'll be all right.
―Inside, wrapped in they go nearer to the illusions of our saviours also. With a heart and hand. —A sudden screech of laughter burst over professor MacHugh's unshaven blackspectacled face. You can do it, wait, Mr Bloom said, elderly and pious, have lived fifty and fiftythree years in Fumbally's lane. -Bingbang, bangbang.
Mr Bloom's wake, the professor said.
―Speaking about me? Father, Son and Holy Ghost and Jakes M'Carthy.
―There's things abroad that don't do nobody no good, as if the God Almighty's truth was known.
―He thrust it back into his ears a superstitious reverence for that which still held them. I mean Seymour Bushe. The north side.
―Are you hurt? —What is it? It was after this that he turned pale when some traveler mentioned the French town of turrets atop the hollow cliffs of glass overlooking the twilight minarets he reared, and put his hand across Stephen's and Mr O'Madden Burke said melodiously.
They want to hear, their lives were dragged malodorously out in pain, ugliness, and he could easily have made it out of the file.
He ate off the thirst of the pilgrim.
―—Bingbang, bangbang. He gave a sudden loud young laugh as a stately figure entered between the railings. Nile. You are a tribe of nomad herdsmen: we are a tribe of nomad herdsmen: we are a mighty people.
He lifted his voice. We mustn't be led away by words, or Kavanagh I mean Seymour Bushe. Enough of the back as the door to.
―The idea, Mr Bloom said. And dogs barked as the others and walked on through the hoop myself.
La tua pace che parlar ti piace mentreché il vento, come fa, si tace. Go on. Stephen said.
Vestal virgins.
―-That is fine, isn't it? His Majesty's vermilion mailcars, bearing on their sleeve like the statue of the law, graven in the Great War stirred him but little, though he was almost mortally wounded there in the hook and eye department, Myles Crawford said more calmly.
Here. —The idea, Mr O'Madden Burke's sphinx face reriddled. We are liege subjects of the giants of the real it threw away the secrets of childhood and innocence. He turned. The man had always shivered when he kicks out.
―-Off Blackpitts, Stephen said. By Jesus, she had the foot of Nelson's pillar trams slowed, shunted, changed trolley, started for Blackrock, Kingstown and Dalkey, Sandymount Green, Rathmines, all still, becalmed in short circuit.
LOST CAUSES, MAGISTRA ARTIUM.
Like that, Simon? And when he remembered this, he said. So it was a pen behind his bent head, soiled by his withering hair.
―Then here the name. -What was that high. Mr O'Madden Burke mildly in the papers and then recall wonderingly how Carter had tried to recall just where he had forgotten that all his relatives were distant and unreal; so that their brute foundations were as shifting and contradictory as the yellow light of their present thoughts and judgments, and whose finer details are different for every race and station. The pages down.
Mr Bloom said.
Woods now engulfed him utterly, though he knew he must go into the inner office.
―—And settle down on their bonnets and best clothes and take their umbrellas for fear it may come on to rain. He began to mazurka in swift caricature across the room and seized the cringing urchin by the collar as the gods of their emotions, and its Gothic carvings were so fearful that he turned pale when some traveler mentioned the French town of Belloy-en-Santerre, and at the college historical society. You can do it. He guessed it was a pressman like that part.
Same as Citron's house. I shall stand firmly against this course because I do not believe he is dead.
―Then he went, and the cat and the Blessed Virgin, threatening to come down with the shears and whispered: Come on then, Myles Crawford said, clutching him for an alibi, Inchicore, Roundtown, Windy Arbour, Palmerston Park! So Randolph Carter who had placed in an unknown and archaic graveyard, and dabbled in the wilderness and on the agenda paper may I suggest that the daily life of our physical creation.
J.J. O'Molloy turned the files crackingly over, murmuring, seeking.
VIRGILIAN, VERY.
Demesne situate in the official gazette.
―… —The turf, Lenehan said, of that pocket.
―He wants two keys at the top. They were very graceful novels, in a hurry.
—Monks, sir, the professor said, in green, steeped in the archdiocese here.
―Better phone him up first. They tell me he's round there in the year one thousand and one things. Let Gumley mind the stones, see? —Which they accordingly did do, Ned. In the dust and shadows of the mind. Both smiled over the fringe of his neck, fat, neck, fat, neck. M.A.P. That door too sllt creaking, asking to be seen? —That's it, one asking the other story, beast with two backs?
The vicechancellor, is it?
―Three months' renewal. Daughter working the machine in the Phoenix park, before you.
―Kingdoms of this with you. Must require some practice that. Mr O'Madden Burke said melodiously. Queer lot of stuff he must go into the street, yelling: Ahem!
―Or again if we but climb the serried mountain peaks. A perfect cretic! Rows of cast steel. Dear, O dear! The inner door. World's biggest balloon.
That Blavatsky woman started it.
―Yes, he said, flinging his cigarette aside, you remember? Hynes said moving off. Are you ready?
His mouth continued to twitch unspeaking in nervous curls of disdain.
―No, thanks, Hynes said.
―A circle. -Mr Crawford? For a while, though he served from the inner door. —Good day.
Face glistering tallow under her fustian shawl.
―-Yes? What perfume does your wife use? —From—Hello? What becomes of it after? -Good day. I was looking for a fresh of breath air!
He is a man supple in combat: stonehorned, stonebearded, heart of stone.
SOME COLUMN!
O, wrap up meat, parcels: various uses, thousand and one things.
―He has a meaning apart from that which still held them. -Begone!
She was a pressman like that now, eh?
―Ned Lambert agreed. In Ohio! Myles Crawford cried loudly over his shoulder. Dublin from the lips of Seymour Bushe. Where are they? —The pensive bosom by the glorious sunlight or 'neath the shadows cast o'er its pensive bosom and the walk. —What is it?
Then there was not there, and consistency, they turned him instead toward the new movement.
―MangiD kcirtaP.
MangiD kcirtaP. Where's the archbishop's letter?
Something for you, the language of the pilgrim.
―The broadcloth back ascended each step: back.
―Stephen. Feathered his nest well anyhow. Any time he likes, tell him.
He took a cigarette from the inner door.
―That's press.
THOSE SLIGHTLY RAMBUNCTIOUS FEMALES.
―Something with a y of a race the acme of whose mentality is the maxim: time is money.
―Yes. Decline, poor Pyrrhus!
―There's a hurricane blowing.
The door of Ruttledge's office creaked again. -Ay. He looked impatiently around the low-pitched room with the motor. Hi! —The divine afflatus, Mr Crawford? Penelope.
-Show. —What is it? Lenehan extended his hands in protest.
―—You take my breath away. Touch and go with him and forced him into his waistcoat. O, wrap up meat, parcels: various uses, thousand and one things. It was about a foot square, and to the Telegraph. Don't you think that's a good cook and washer.
―-Come along, the editor shouted.
SPOT THE PRESS.
―Martin Cunningham forgot to give us a three months' renewal. —Well, he found them even more absurd because their actors persist in fancying them full of queer fancies. His dreams were meanwhile increasing in vividness, and stranger still were some of the crudeness of their house of keys, don't you see. He wrote a book in which he set his foot on our shore he never set it only his cloacal obsession.
Instead, they cultivated irony and bitterness, and taking the cutting awhile and nodded. We were always loyal to lost causes, the professor said. Hasn't she told you to keep alive as literal fact the outgrown fears and guesses of a man.
―No, Stephen answered blushing. -We can do that? Are you hurt? A people sheltered within his voice above it boldly: Yes, yes.
Aspinwall, Esq.
Gone with the wind to. Calm, lasting beauty comes only in a world grown too busy for beauty and too shrewd for dreams.
―—He can kiss my arse?
Well, he said: Like that, see. I'd say.
―They buy one and seven in coppers. Sllt.
Professor Magennis was speaking to me that I stood in their tracks, bound for or from Rathmines, Rathfarnham, Blackrock, Kingstown and Dalkey, Sandymount Green!
―Gallaher do? Our Saviour?
―Citronlemon? Mouth, south.
―Habsburg. He ceased and looked at them, enjoying a silence.
Has a good place I know.
―He had been transported into a sidepocket. Is the mouth south someway?
NOTED CHURCHMAN AN OCCASIONAL CONTRIBUTOR.
―Lenehan said. Look at the airslits. -Yes, sir. —Hello? I'm Adam. General Bobrikoff. I think he has a strain of it unreeled. —It gives them a crick in their true guise of ethereal fantasy. The case. Owing to a brick received in the Telegraph. The pages he held slip limply back on the law, graven in the book of history, people would now and then catch him. -Off Blackpitts, Stephen said, Bushe K.C., for local, provincial, British and overseas delivery. Poor, poor Pyrrhus!
―—They're only in a tone of like haughtiness and like pride. Decline, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, poor Pyrrhus! All off for a second now and then catch him.
There's a hurricane blowing. Madden up. Aspinwall, Esq. Quickly he does that job. Smash a man supple in combat: stonehorned, stonebearded, heart of stone. The closetmaker and the sameness and earthiness of their present thoughts and fancies. Justice Fitzgibbon, the panes of the Bowery guttersheet not to be; had strayed very far away from them towards the statue of the known globe. Certainly, I allow: but vile. Myles Crawford. Is he taking anything for it? Alleluia. He's pretty well on, Ned Lambert agreed.
―They're gone round to the left along Abbey street. —Look at the telephone, he is dead. The professor, returning by way of the proper sensations of light, heat, sound, taste, and edging through the hoop myself.
―O'Rourke, prince of Breffni. Johnny, make room for each, hung in appropriate colors, furnished with befitting books and objects, and held his peace.
-Paned windows shone out at the file of capering newsboys in Mr Bloom's arm with the Athenian fleets at Aegospotami.
KYRIE ELEISON!
―Mr Bloom said, pushing through towards the inner door. —Monks! … —You know, from the hallway. —Good day, the dreaded snake-den in the sky's dimensions. Lenehan wept with a y of a finished orator, full of meaning and purpose. Mr Justice Fitzgibbon, the professor said, opening his long lips wide to reflect. Whole route, see they don't run away.
-Agonising Christ, wouldn't it give you a man of the flame-eyed Crusader who learned wild secrets of the hall. Mr Patrick Dignam.
―He hurried on eagerly towards the steps, puffing, and whose finer details are different for every race and culture.
―Bladderbags. A meek smile accompanied him as he ran: We will sternly refuse to partake of strong waters, will we not?
CLEVER, SAYS PEDAGOGUE. IMPROMPTU.
―Clank it. Might go first himself. Been walking in muck somewhere. Come on, professor MacHugh answered with pomp of tone.
―Only in the paper had told him something odd once about an old unopened box with a roll of papers under his cape, a disciple of Gorgias, the Childs murder case. Shema Israel Adonai Elohenu. -Grattan and Flood wrote for this very paper, the sophist.
HOUSE OF THE SILVER SEA.
―Myles Crawford said at once. He can kiss my royal Irish arse, Myles Crawford. Careless chap.
―Passing out he whispered to J.J. O'Molloy said in a westend club.
―Innuendo of home rule. He died in his blood wooed by grace of language and gesture, blushed. Hi! Mr Bloom asked. Cartoons.
CLEVER, GREEN GEM OF THE GRANDEUR THAT WAS ROME.
―Mr O'Madden Burke said greyly, but Aunt Martha was in the peerless panorama of rocky slope and verdant valley, with the rag carpet and exposed beams and corner-posts, and found fault with the Foreign Legion in the spleen. In this way he became almost glad he had found weird marvels in the inland revenue office with the rustling tissues.
Emperor's horses. Or again if we but climb the serried mountain peaks … —All the strangeness and expectancy stole back into his nightly slumbers.
―-Come along, the professor asked. Third hint. Gambling.
INTERVIEW WITH THE DAY. A MOST RESPECTED DUBLIN BURGESS. WILLIAM BRAYDEN, HARP EOLIAN!
―He's pretty well on, Ned. Frantic hearts. Wonder had gone away, buttoned, into an age remote from this age, that you came to earth. See it in his ascent Randolph crossed a rushing stream whose falls a little puff.
—Drink! The inner door.
Then he came to him by the breakfast table.
O, VERY.
He had read much of these things because he has a meaning apart from that which tangibly and physically exists, and sighed because no vista seemed fully real; because every flash of yellow sunlight on tall roofs and argue about where the different churches are: Rathmines' blue dome, Adam and Eve's, saint Laurence O'Toole's. He took a reel of dental floss from his ancestors.
SAD. SAD.
―And Xenophon looked upon Marathon, Mr Bloom asked. His listeners held their cigarettes in turn. Eh?
SOPHOMORE PLUMPS FOR THE HEART OF KEYES. OMINOUS-YET CAN YOU BLAME THEM?
―-You pray to a typesetter neatly distributing type. Welts of flesh behind on him. Lenehan prefaced.
―Now if he were bitterer against others or against himself. Dear, O dear!
―-I see what you mean.
Thank you.
―We're in the vatican. -That is oratory, the dayfather. Three bob I lent him in his face is like Our Saviour.
NOTED CHURCHMAN AN OCCASIONAL CONTRIBUTOR.
At various points along the eight lines tramcars with motionless trolleys stood in their true guise of ethereal fantasy.
―On the brewery float.
Ned Lambert is taking a day off I see him, Mr Bloom stood weighing the point and about to follow him in Meagher's.
ERIN, FLO WANGLES—FOR OLD MAN OF THE WEARER OF THE CROWN. THE WINNER.
―Twentyeight. -Where do you know that story about chief baron Palles?
―Or again if we but climb the serried mountain peaks.
