Ulysses

BROTHER BUZZ: (Invests Bloom in a yellow habit with
embroidery of painted flames and high pointed hat. He places a
bag of gunpowder round his neck and hands him over to the civil

power, saying) Forgive him his trespasses.
(Lieutenant Myers of the Dublin Fire Brigade by general
request sets fire to Bloom. Lamentations.)
THE CITIZEN: Thank heaven!
BLOOM: (In a seamless garment marked I. H. S. stands
upright amid phoenix flames) Weep not for me, O daughters
of Erin.
(He exhibits to Dublin reporters traces of burning. The
daughters of Erin, in black garments, with large prayerbooks and
long lighted candles in their hands, kneel down and pray.)
