Finnegans Wake 51 - 75. More later.

p.51: "one's thousand one nightinesses"
another HCE reference.

p.52: Another Anny Oakley reference
"(scoretaking: Spegulo ne helpas al malbellulo, Mi Kredas ke vi estas prava, Via dote la vizago rispondas fraulino)"

p.53: "La arboro, lo petrusu"
"(doereh-moose genuane!)"

p.54: "Halley's comet" which is followed by a paragraph of the gibberish that takes days to glean the hidden meanings out of. I can't wait to have the free time to dig into this book like I'd like to! Yay for a summer project!

p.55:"grimaldism hypostasised"

p.56: "pro tem locums"

p.57: "lie low lea"

p.58: "Longtong's breach is fallen down but Graunya's spreed's abroad" I like the little interjections of songs throughout the book. Coming up is a piece of the Ballad of Tim Finnegan in Joycean.
"pardonnez-leur, je vous en prie, eh?"

p.59: "Mon foie"
"Good mein leber"
"umbedimbt!"

p.60: "Caligula" Yay for the Roman Empire! Julius Cesar rains! Yaaaaaaaaayy!
"upsiduxit: mutatus mutandus"

p.61: Hamlet reference "John a'Dream's" I love this line from a soliloquy which goes:

Make mad the guilty and appall the free,
Confound the ignorant, and amaze indeed
The very faculties of eyes and ears. Yet I,
A dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak,
Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause,
And can say nothing; no, not for a king,
Upon whose property and most dear life
A damn'd defeat was made. Am I a coward?
Who calls me villain? breaks my pate across?
Plucks off my beard, and blows it in my face?
Tweaks me by the nose? gives me the lie i' the throat,
As deep as to the lungs? who does me this?
Ha! 'Swounds, I should take it: for it cannot be
But I am pigeon-liver'd and lack gall
To make oppression bitter, or ere this
I should have fatted all the region kites
With this slave's offal. Bloody, bawdy villain!
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!
O, vengeance!

Sorry, I love Shakespeare.

This is followed by a paragraph in lisp-speach "Have you evew thought, wepowtew, that sheew gweatness was his twadgedy?"

p.62: "hejirite" "Mara" "For mine qvinne I thee giftake and bind my hosenband I thee halter." A marriage? Methinks so.

p.63: "parasoliloquisingly" this is what I did above right? ;)
"magnum bonum"

p.64: "one thousand one" "Mullingcan" "Cherchons la flamme!"

p.65: "tableau vivant"
I think gramps was kind of a player
"Robinson trousseau"
two references to A.B.C. and one "Finny."

p.66: "reeboos publikiss" politics much?
H.C.E.
"Dubblenn"

p.67: "nitrience of oxagiants to take its free air and just analectralyse that very chymerical combination, the gasbag where the warderworks. And try to pour somour heiterscene up thealmostfere." Wow, WTF Mate?

p.68: "ad huck" "a la Zingara"

p.69: "eddams ended with aves. Armen?" Adam ended with Eve. Amen?

p.70: "U.S.E. paying (Gaul save the mark!)" Yeah, we're a money hungry country for sure...
another HCE

p.71: Yay for another "walrus" reference!

p.72: "sowsealist potty" socialist party? wishy washy shitty dreamers poetry?

p.73: HCE again... or wait, ECH "Et Cur Heli!" and "Howth or at Cooklock or even at Enniskerry"

p.74: "some Finn, some Finn avant!" "haught crested elmer" and a really fun quote "Rain. When we sleep. Drops. But wait until our sleeping Drain. Sdops."

p.75: "lililiths" "ex profundis malorum"
