“tropped head”
John "Book of the Dark" Bishop, Joyce's Book of the Dark: Finnegans Wake

“Cat my dogs ef it ain't de powerfulest dream I ever seen," as Joyce, quoting Twain, copied in his notebook on Huckleberry Finn.”
John "Book of the Dark" Bishop

“Sooner rather than later, a reader of Finnegans Wake would do well to justify to himself its stupefying obscurity; for as even its most seasoned readers know, "Finnegans Wake is wilfully obscure. It was conceived as obscurity, it was executed as obscurity, it is about obscurity.”
John "Book of the Dark" Bishop, Joyce's Book of the Dark: Finnegans Wake
