A VOICE: Bloom, are you the Messiah ben Joseph or
ben David?
BLOOM: (Darkly) You have said it.
BROTHER BUZZ: Then perform a miracle like
Father Charles.
BANTAM LYONS: Prophesy who will win the Saint

(Bloom walks on a net, covers his left eye with his left ear,
passes through several walls, climbs Nelson’s Pillar, hangs from
the top ledge by his eyelids, eats twelve dozen oysters (shells
included), heals several sufferers from king’s evil, contracts his face
so as to resemble many historical personages, Lord Beaconsfield,
Lord Byron, Wat Tyler, Moses of Egypt, Moses Maimonides,
Moses Mendelssohn, Henry Irving, Rip van Winkle, Kossuth,
Jean Jacques Rousseau, Baron Leopold Rothschild, Robinson
Crusoe, Sherlock Holmes, Pasteur, turns each foot simultaneously
in different directions, bids the tide turn back, eclipses the sun by
extending his little finger.)
