He vows her to be his own honeylamb, swears they will be papa pals, by Sam, and share good times way down west in a guaranteed happy lovenest when May moon she shines and they twit twinkle all the night, combing the comet’s tail up right and shooting popgims at the stars.

Be these meer marchant taylor’s fablings of a race referend with oddman rex.^ Is now all seenheard then forgotten.^ Can it was, one is fain in this leaden age of letters now to wit, that so diversified outrages (they have still to come!) were planned and partly carried out against so staunch a covenanter if it be true than any of those recorded ever took place for many, we trow, beyessed to and denayed of, . . .

Of the persins sin this Eyrawyggla saga (which, thorough readable to int from and, is from tubb to buttom all falsetissues, antilibellous and nonactionable and this applies to its whole wholume) of poor Osti-Fosti, described as quite a musical genius in a small way and the owner of an exceedingly niced ear, with tenorist voice to match, not alone,

... and the rhymers’ world was with reason the richer for a wouldbe ballad, to the balledder of which the world of cumannity singing owes a tribute for having placed on the planet’s melomap his lay of the vilest bogeyer but most attractionable avatar the world has ever had to explain for.

If you only were there to explain the mean- ing, best of men, and talk to her nice of guldenselver. The lips would moisten once again. As when you drove with her to Findrinny Fair. What with reins here and ribbons there all your hands were employed so she never knew was she on land or at sea or swooped through the blue like Airwinger’s bride.

Thank you, Jayjaypl. Good to hear from you.I’ve read all of Joyce’s books at least a couple of times. With Ulysses and FW it’s more like many times. Goodreads may sort of skew the number as it records each time you pick up a book, but may not finish. I’ve reread a couple of Faulkner’s and a couple of Dostoyevsky’s, a couple of Voonegut’s, Waiting for Godot, Hedda Gabler, Master and Man, The Stranger, Catch 22 and Wise Blood. Probably a few more. Sometimes it was because nothing else on the shelf seemed attractive, sometimes it was to recapture an old fun, sometimes just too lazy to start something new.
Faulkner is very deep literature. Like when you get older, get more life experience you know more things...

I love Faulkner, his total indifference to the needs of his readers. I think both Sound and Fury and Absalom Absalom are much harder to read than Ulysses. But they are all worth the extra effort.🍀
interesting i thought you are about 50. You have young soul.
Jayjaypl wrote: "interesting i thought you are about 50. You have young soul."Thank you, Jayjaypl, you are most kind. It’s not so much wisdom that one acquires, but rather a realization that so little of what goes on in life is really important: A friendly smile, a warm touch, a soft cat, a Bach prelude, a relaxing nap. . .
Thank you, Gerard. Good to hear from you.It would be nice to know, who “the two Curchies and the three Enkelchums” are?
Thank you, W.D. Good to hear from you.I like the expression in the opening line, “odd sorts of others.”
Thank you, Andy. Good to hear from you.“that fishabed ghoatstory” I think that comes back to haunt us later on.
Thank you, mirah! Nice to hear from you.Why Joyce chose to mis-spell intentionally so many words remains a mystery to me. You can take some time and ‘sound out’ each word and many/some do become clear, but then to write on the text the corrected word to make some understanding easier the next time you visit seems like a lot of work. We can assume that “edventyres” is Joyce for adventures, but what does “jongers” spell?
