Monday, 30 September 2019, Pages 579 - 581

We read as far as "... right renownsable patriarch?" (581.5)

At our last reading, we had come across a number of slogans, almost like posters which Earwicker could have put up in his pub. The last ones we had read were: Scrape your souls (soles of shoes?). Commit no miracles. Postpone no bills.

We read more this time. Some nice ones are, Hatenot havenots. My time is on draught. Bottle your own. Love my label like myself.... Oil's wells in our lands. Let earwigged's wivable teach you the dance! (Let Earwicker's able wife teach you the dance?)

We also read that they (HCE & ALP) met and mated and bedded and buckled and got and gave and reared and raised ... tried to mingle and managed to save and feathered foes' nests and fouled their own ...

In this way HCE & ALP represent the most common, the most widely spread type of husband and wife team. Here Comes Everybody! After all that is what Finnegans Wake is supposed to be about.

IMPORTANT:
Please note that there will be no reading on Monday, October 7th.
The next session will be on October 14th.
