IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
As it is the annual workshop week at the Foundation
there will be no reading of FW on 6th August.
We shall continue with our reading of Finnegans Wake
on 13th August 2018.
We have stopped at ".... fifteen primes." (483.21)
The four old men are still poking the sleeping Shaun with questions. They also ask each other questions. After having posed many questions to Shaun about his father, they are now after his relationship with Shem.
The sentence, 'Me das has or oreils. Piercey, piercey, piercey, piercey!' is interesting as it hints at the myth of Midas, the miserly kind, and at Persse O'Reilly which is close to 'peace oreille' in French, meaning earwig. The connection between Midas and HCE becomes 'clear' after reading the story of Midas and his donkey's ears!
