Monday, 30 March 2014 (Pages 135 - 136)

Read as far as "... turgid tarpon overnight;..." (136.27)

Some favorites of the day:

... his birthspot lies beyond the herospont and his burial plot in the pleasant little field; (135.17)
... his suns the huns, his darters the tartars, ae plenty here today; (135.23)
... a part of the whole as a port for a whale; (135.28)
... were day lighted with out outing and are looking backwards to uneasily summers,...(135.30)
... is as quiet as a mursque but can be as noisy as a sonogog; (135.36)
... go away. we are decided. come back, we are disghosted; (136.7)

Some of the things to notice:

This 'he' we are still looking out for is characterized by quite a few special, often contradictory features. Some examples: 

yldist kiosk vs. unguest hotel
great wide cloak vs. little white horse
suns vs. dartars
upright vs. lying
crawls vs. swarms
quiet as a mursque vs. noisy as a sonogog
exalted vs. depressed
light vs darkness

Stopped at "... cryptoconchoidsiphonostomata in his expressions;..."  (135.16)

Some favorites of the day:

... ace of arts, deuce of demimondes, trouble of clubs, fear of spates; (134.7)

... moves in vicous cicles yet renews the same;... (134.16)

... Bug of the Deaf;... (134.36)

... the king was in his corner wall melting mark so murry,... (135.1)

It is all about - among other things -

We stopped at "... grim as Potter the Grave..." (134.7)

Some favorites of the day:

our family furbear, out tribal turnpike; (132.32)

he took a svig at his own methyr but she tasted a bit gorky (132.34)

can rant as grave as oxtail soup; (133.13)

lebriety, frothearnity and quality; (133.31)

put to music by one shoebard; (133.26)

Is this what it was all about...?

This 'he', whoever he in fact is, could be Parnell (clues: furbear, invincibled, unhesitent in unionism and yet a pigotted nationalist), Napolean (clues: Boomaport, Walleslee, paunch and judex), the ur-beerbrauer (Gambrinus), somebody who has something to do with the values of French revolution (lebriety, frothearnity and quality).,.., One thing we are certain is that this 'he' is grim as Potter the Grave...

Monday, 10 March 2014 (Pages 131/132)

 Stopped at "...lachsembulger, leperlean;" (132.29)

A few favorites of the day:

... he's as globeful as a gasometer of lithium... (131.35)

...boar trwth... (132.5)

... made a summer assault on our shores... (132.20)

... netted before nibbling, can scarce turn a scale but, grossed after meals, weighs a town in himself; (132.26)

What it could all have been about...

We are still looking for the one, who wears striped pantaloons, has a strange walk, has the most comical hod piece (headpiece?), is a hunnibal (hannibal?) in exhaustive conflict, whose costellous (colossal?) feet is seen in the goat's grass-circle, who led the upplaws (applause?) at the Creation (theater Creation), who is larger than life, doughtier than death.
Depending on one's background, one recognizes - in between words and lines - shades of Indian mythology, Viking history, Old/ & New Testaments, plays at Dublin theaters, basics of algebra, periodic table, Shakespeare, (Sprüngli's) Luxemburgerli, and whatever else one's fancy leads to. One may be 'right' in one's interpretation. On the other hand, one might be far off the mark. After all, it is JUST a dream!

Monday, 3 March 2014 (Pages 130 & 131)

Read as far as "streamy morvenlight calls up the sunbeam;" (131.29)

Some favorites of the day:

to fall fou of hockinbechers wherein he had gauged the use of raisin; (130.15)
long gunn but not for cotton; (130.26)
has a peep in his pocketbook and a packetboat in his keep; (131.2)
married with cakes and repunked with pleasure; (131.14)

Summary(?)

These pages still have to do with the first question Shaun is supposed to answer. It  has still to do with finding out, "What secondonone mother rector and maxi most bridges-maker was the first to...", though it must be mentioned that the phrases after the semi-colons do not often seem to be the continuation of this initial  part of the question. Whoever it is, had - for instance -, as an yangster (youngster?) gauged the use of raisin (reason?) as he tried hockinbecher (wine in a glass?), learnt to speak earish (in Irish?) with his eyes shut, overcome the famine and grown girther (fatter?), taught himself skating and learned to fall, married with cakes and repunked with pleasure (married in haste and repented in leisure?) ...

We get a list of the names of (a) bridges in Dublin, perhaps as this person whom we are concerned with is/was a bridge-maker, (b) seven groups of initials apparently standing for seven lord mayors of Dublin. Religion is not neglected either as hints are made to the founders of major religions, such as Buddha (?) (Buddapest), Mohammad (?) (we are pledged entirely to his green mantle)...
