Ulysses


                                            Kolod          balejwaw          pnimah
                                         Nefesch, jehudi, homijah.



                                     Why was the chant arrested at the conclusion of this
                                  first distich?
                                     In consequence of defective mnemotechnic.
                                     How did the chanter compensate for this deficiency?
                                     By a periphrastic version of the general text.
                                     In what common study did  their mutual reflections
                                  merge?
                                     The increasing simplification traceable from the
                                  Egyptian epigraphic hieroglyphs to the Greek and Roman
                                  alphabets and the anticipation of modern stenography and
                                  telegraphic code in the cuneiform inscriptions (Semitic)
                                  and the virgular quinquecostate ogham writing (Celtic).
                                  Did the guest comply with his host’s request?
                                     Doubly, by appending his signature in Irish and Roman
                                  characters.
                                     What was Stephen’s auditive sensation?
                                     He heard in a profound ancient male unfamiliar melody
                                  the accumulation of the past.
                                     What was Bloom’s visual sensation?
