IN THE HEART OF THE HIBERNIAN METROPOLIS

1927

Before Nelson's pillar trams slowed, shunted, changed trolley, started for Blackrock, Kingstown and Dalkey, Clonskea, Rathgar and Terenure, Palmerston Park and upper Rathmines, Sandymount Green, Rathmines, Ringsend and Sandymount Tower, Harold's Cross. The hoarse Dublin United Tramway Company's timekeeper bawled them off:

(these are geographically just the 4:00-7:00, SE-SW routes, all others are ignored)


pillar-to-Dalkey = 8 miles

"timekeeper" = trams followed a schedule [eg] [jpegs]

— Rathgar and Terenure!

— Come on, Sandymount Green!



Right and left parallel clanging ringing a doubledecker and a singledeck moved from their railheads, swerved to the down line, glided parallel.


— Start, Palmerston Park!


THE WEARER OF THE CROWN



Under the porch of the general post office shoeblacks called and polished. 

(where is "under the porch"?)
Prince's


Parked in North Prince's street His Majesty's vermilion mailcars, bearing on their sides the royal initials, E.R., received loudly flung sacks of letters, postcards, lettercards, parcels, insured and paid, for local, provincial, British and overseas delivery.

"North Prince's street" is a one-block dead-end alley

c1910 (GR = George V, 1910-1936)
"vermillion" = shade of red made from worms (red is the episode's color)
"E.R." = Edward Rex (Edward VII, the eponymous crown-wearer)

GENTLEMEN OF THE PRESS


Grossbooted draymen rolled barrels dullthudding out of Prince's stores and bumped them up on the brewery float. On the brewery float bumped dullthudding barrels rolled by grossbooted draymen out of Prince's stores.

"Prince's Stores" was a pub at #3

(the draymen are hardly gentlemen of the press, are they?)



The Freeman's Journal was nextdoor at 4-8 Prince's street, continuous with the Evening Telegraph offices at 83 Middle Abbey street. Thom's was nextdoor on the Abbey side, and the Oval across the street:



— There it is, Red Murray said. Alexander Keyes.

John 'Red' Murray was JAJ's unloved 48yo uncle, doubled elsewhere as John Goulding "the cornet player" (p39)

58yo in 1911?
Joyce's camera has panned across the outdoor streetscene (like a ghostly pedestrian) and now zooms in on the newspaperoffice interior

if you examine the manuscripts, there's no excuse for writing TelemachiaD, AEolus, NausiCaa, or EumAEus (you might as well say Finnegan's Wake)

in his notes, Eolus is always "Eol"

the bowling green because I sailed inside him. Pure fluke of mine: the bias. Why he took such a rooted dislike to me. Hate at first sight. Molly and Floey Dillon linked under the lilactree, laughing. Fellow always like that, mortified if women are by.

(ironically, Bloom is the least likely person to purposely offend this way)


Got a dinge in the side of his hat. Carriage probably.



— Excuse me, sir, Mr Bloom said beside them.



They stopped.



— Your hat is a little crushed, Mr Bloom said, pointing.



John Henry Menton stared at him for an instant without moving.



— There, Martin Cunningham helped, pointing also.



John Henry Menton took off his hat, bulged out the dinge and smoothed the nap with care on his coatsleeve. He clapped the hat on his head again.



— It's all right now, Martin Cunningham said.



John Henry Menton jerked his head down in acknowledgment.


— Thank you, he said shortly.



They walked on towards the gates. Mr Bloom, chapfallen, drew behind a few paces so as not to overhear. Martin laying down the law. Martin could wind a sappyhead like that round his little finger without his seeing it.

"chapfallen" (from chap/chop = lower jaw, cf hangdog. milder than crestfallen)


Oyster eyes. Never mind. Be sorry after perhaps when it dawns on him. Get the pull over him that way.

cf p107 "Leave him under an obligation"


Thank you. How grand we are this morning!

[Ulysses on the Deep Web]

'Deep Web' is a melodramatic name for sites that aren't indexed by Google.  I'll use it more generally here to mean sites that deserve special attention when searching for Ulysses-related resources, especially images.

The Hathi Trust beats the pants off GoogleBooks or archive.org for breadth and usability.

The National Library has over 1000 historic pix on Flickr (searchable via a popup menu)

A Twitter account called PhotosOfDublin has posted 1000s of pix in the last year

Barger's "Internet Ulysses" (apparently once termed "a watershed in Web culture" by the Irish Times) is at archive.org (not searchable, I don't think)

Scarily detailed Irish census info for 1901 and 1911 is a little tricky to search (advanced search options include religion, and street)

[The heart and job motifs in Ulysses-Hades]

[We Joyceans and other scholars need to recalibrate our 'inner editors' to take account of the now essentially free bandwidth of the Internet. For example, here are all the occurrences of the word 'heart' in the Hades episode, whose organ is the heart, followed by references to jobs and job-loss from the same episode.]


He took it to heart, pined away.

-- Breakdown, Martin Cunningham said. Heart.

Breakdown. Heart.

They used to drive a stake of wood through his heart in the grave.

Wear the heart out of a stone, that.

Vain in her heart of hearts.

But his heart is buried in Rome. How many broken hearts are buried here, Simon!

That touches a man's inmost heart.

Your heart perhaps but what price the fellow in the six feet by two with his toes to the daisies? No touching that. Seat of the affections. Broken heart. A pump after all, pumping thousands of gallons of blood every day. One fine day it gets bunged up: and there you are. Lots of them lying around here: lungs, hearts, livers. Old rusty pumps: damn the thing else.

It's pure goodheartedness: damn the thing else.

Cracking his jokes too: warms the cockles of his heart.

Shows the profound knowledge of the human heart.

They ought to have some law to pierce the heart and make sure or an electric clock or a telephone in the coffin and some kind of a canvas airhole.

The mourners took heart of grace, one by one, covering themselves without show.

Mr Bloom walked unheeded along his grove by saddened angels, crosses, broken pillars, family vaults, stone hopes praying with upcast eyes, old Ireland's hearts and hands.

The Sacred Heart that is: showing it. Heart on his sleeve. Ought to be sideways and red it should be painted like a real heart.

Heart of gold really.


jobs/loss:

Job seems to suit them.

Unclean job.

Had to refuse the Greystones concert.

Good job Milly never got it.

Peake, what Peake is that? is it the chap was in Crosbie and Alleyne's? no

Couldn't they invent something automatic so that the wheel itself much handier? Well but that fellow would lose his job then? Well but then another fellow would get a job making the new invention?

Wonder why he was struck off the rolls... Terrible comedown, poor wretch! Kicked about like snuff at a wake. O'Callaghan on his last legs.

 -- A poor lookout for Corny, Mr Power added.

I often told poor Paddy he ought to mind that job. John Henry is not the worst in the world.
-- How did he lose it? Ned Lambert asked. Liquor, what?
-- Many a good man's fault, Mr Dedalus said with a sigh.

He must be fed up with that job, shaking that thing over all the corpses they trot up.

Come forth, Lazarus! And he came fifth and lost the job.

Wasn't he in the stationery line?
-- Yes, he was, he said, in Wisdom Hely's. A traveller for blottingpaper.

    -- Charley, Hynes said writing. I know. He was on the Freeman once.
So he was before he got the job in the morgue under Louis Byrne.

Got the run.

Got the shove, all of them.

Dignam used to be In his office.

An obese grey rat toddled along the side of the crypt, moving the pebbles. An old stager: greatgrandfather: he knows the ropes. The grey alive crushed itself in under the plinth, wriggled itself in under it. Good hidingplace for treasure.

compare/contrast with John O'Connell?
cf p44 "And these, the stoneheaps of dead builders, a warren of weasel rats. Hide gold there. Try it. You have some."


Who lives there? Are laid the remains of Robert Emery. Robert Emmet was buried here by torchlight, wasn't he? Making his rounds.


Tail gone now.


One of those chaps would make short work of a fellow. Pick the bones clean no matter who it was. Ordinary meat for them. A corpse is meat gone bad. Well and what's cheese? Corpse of milk. I read in that Voyages in China that the Chinese say a white man smells like a corpse.

(not a real book)


Cremation better. Priests dead against it. Devilling for the other firm. Wholesale burners and Dutch oven dealers. Time of the plague. Quicklime fever pit to eat them. Lethal chamber. Ashes to ashes. Or bury at sea. Where is that Parsee tower of silence? Eaten by birds.

Tower Of Silence


Earth, fire, water. Drowning they say is the pleasantest. See your whole life in a flash. But being brought back to life no. Can't bury in the air however. Out of a flying machine. Wonder does the news go about whenever a fresh one is let down. Underground communication. We learned that from them. Wouldn't be surprised. Regular square feed for them. Flies come before he's well dead. Got wind of Dignam. They wouldn't care about the smell of it. Saltwhite crumbling mush of corpse: smell, taste like raw white turnips.

cf p49 "Seadeath, mildest of all deaths"


The gates glimmered in front: still open. Back to the world again. Enough of this place. Brings you a bit nearer every time. Last time I was here was Mrs Sinico's funeral. Poor papa too. The love that kills. And even scraping up the earth at night with a lantern like that case I read of to get at fresh buried females or even putrefied with running gravesores. Give you the creeps after a bit. I will appear to you after death. You will see my ghost after death. My ghost will haunt you after death. There is another world after death named hell. I do not like that other world she wrote. No more do I. Plenty to see and hear and feel yet. Feel live warm beings near you. Let them sleep in their maggoty beds. They are not going to get me this innings. Warm beds: warm fullblooded life.

SINnico (A Painful Case)


Martin Cunningham emerged from a sidepath, talking gravely.



Solicitor, I think. I know his face. Menton. John Henry, solicitor, commissioner for oaths and affidavits. Dignam used to be In his office. Mat Dillon's long ago. Jolly Mat. Convivial evenings. Cold fowl, cigars, the Tantalus glasses. Heart of gold really. Yes, Menton. Got his rag out that evening on

a tantalus is a drinks-caddy with a locking mechanism supposedly to keep the servants from mooching. a Tantalus or Pythagorean  cup is a trick cup to frustrate overdrinking. neither fits here?
