“They’re so particular. Leave me in my native earth. Bit of clay from the holy land. Only a mother and deadborn child ever buried in the one coffin. I see what it means. I see. To protect him as long as possible even in the earth. The Irishman’s house is his coffin. Embalming in catacombs, mummies, the same idea.”
What a transition—philosophically—from Stephen to Bloom.
What a book.

“Curious she an only child, I an only child. So it returns. Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.”
The Cyclops (Chapter/Episode 12) was a highlight so far. Seeing Bloom at his wits end—misstating historical details within his unbridled rage—is the kind of climax I have wanted for him. He gets pushed around enough; good to see him stand up for himself.

It is about time I give this book a second read through. If anyone has any insights, I would very much appreciate it.
