(Cissy singing again)


I gave it to Nelly
To stick in her belly,
The leg of the duck,
The leg of the duck.

Mulligan spoke of a whore called Fresh Nelly on p206 and 208


(Private Carr and Private Compton turn and counterretort, their tunics bloodbright in a lampglow, black sockets of caps on their blond cropped polls. Stephen Dedalus and Lynch pass through the crowd close to the redcoats.)


draft: "The redcoats turn as before and reply. They march on. The girl's voice rises higher: ...The redcoats halt beside the patrol and talk. Their tunics are bloodbright near the lamp, their blond heads close cropped, their biscuit caps set on the side lobes are round ballsockets."

"counterretort" song/ raspberry/ retort/ counterretort

why not 'the lampglow'?

"cropped polls" suggests Cromwell's Roundheads


PRIVATE COMPTON

(Jerks his finger.) Way for the parson.

they're protestants themselves, but mistake him for a protestant too


PRIVATE CARR

(Turns and calls.) What ho, parson!




CISSY CAFFREY

(Her voice soaring higher.)

She has it, she got it,
Wherever she put it,
The leg of the duck.

belly, or cunt?

draft: (deleted) "A girl with hair on the wind rushes across the street, her shawl flapping from her arms. She shrieks, laughing, rushing, and is engulfed in a doorway. A burly navvy pursues with long strides. He stumbles on the steps but recovers and plunges into the doorway after her. Weaker shrieks of laughter are heard: they stop."


(Stephen, flourishing the ashplant in his left hand, chants with joy the introit for paschal time. Lynch, his jockeycap low on his brow, attends him, a sneer of discontent wrinkling his face.)

draft: "A young man in black with a wide hat, pointing ahead with a flourish of his stick, passes through the figures, talking. A broader young man wearing a jockey cap walks beside him. A sneer of discontent is seen on his beaked face."





STEPHEN

Vidi aquam egredientem de templo a latere dextro. Alleluia.

'I saw a stream of water welling forth from the right of the temple. Alleluia.' = the opening phrase of the antiphon used with asperges
(the ceremony of sprinkling the altar) during paschal time

vid


(The famished snaggletusks of an elderly bawd protrude from a doorway.)

walrus tusks?

snaggleteeth


THE BAWD

(Her voice whispering huskily.) Sst! Come here till I tell you. Maidenhead inside. Sst!

draft: "An elderly woman lolled against a doorframe looks out as they pass and calls in a discreet whisper:
--Sst! (wait) Come here till I tell you. Sst! Maidenhead inside. They pass on, unseeing. She calls after them:
--Trinity medicals. Fallopian tube.
Still unheeded she spits."

obvious lie
(how many in the crowd can overhear here? or have they passed out of the crowded section?)


STEPHEN

(Altius aliquantulum.) Et omnes ad quos pervenit aqua ista.

(Gabler drops the italics since it's presumably a stage direction in Latin: double-italics = non-italic... but couldn't JAJ have intended this as if thought/spoken by Stephen???)

'(With considerable profundity.) And all among them came to that water'
