Finnegan's Wake p. 12 - 36

I think I left off my last portion of Finnegan's Wake blogging on page 12 so I will pick up there.

p.12: two little quotes that made me smile: "the byways of high improvidence that's what makes life-work leaving," then towards the bottom there is a name "Miseryhill" which reminded me of Haroun's sad town.

p.13: "Dyoublong" clicked as Dublin in my head. I've been highlighting all the references that could be either "Tim Finnegan" or "Dublin" that I find. Also on this page was "Dbln"

p.14: "Two sons an hour were born until a goodman and his hag." Just made me laugh. There is also more latin; "Liber Lividus" which means blue book apparently.

p.15: "chiliad" this is a child's Iliad right?
"laughtears" I've forgotten who said we laugh to keep from crying, but it should be mentioned here again.

p.16: nada

p.17: "finnic in" obvious

p.18: "O I Fay" Just made me think of Dr. Sexson saying "Oy vay!" and slapping his forehead.

p.19: Lolcat speak: "please to stoop"
"durlblin"

20: generally discussing that if you're good you go to heaven?

21: zip

22: "her madesty a 'forethought set down a jiminy and took up a jiminy and all the lilipath ways to Woeman's Land she rain, rain, rain.

23: "And that was the first peace of illiteratise porthery in all the flamend flatuous world>"

24: a couple of things, if you can't tell I'm not writing down the majority of what I've highlighted for later analysis. I don't think it'd be interesting to everyone, like a reference to "Dalton" which is a buddy of mine's last name. Randomness. anywho...
"Healiopolis" - cool

25: "fenians" I'm seeing this title in things that are a stretch at this point. You see what you're looking for I guess.

26: "All Angels' Day" all kinds of astrological references: "copricapron" "virgo" a funny reference "Aunt Florenza" and a child learning "mudapplication"

27: "Dimitrius O'Flagonan"

28: "Finn no more!" Here is where Joyce said "I can't read my own writing anymore! No more editing I'm just going to write it! It's crazy talk!"
"Les Loves of Selskar et Pervenche"
"The Novvergin's Viv"

29: "The Bey for Dybbling"

30: "enos" Yay for the Bible.

31: "Our sailor king" who has the "walrus moustaches" "fas" "nefas" AH LANGUAGES!

32: 2 references to H.C.E. Whatever that is... and one "finikin"

33: "H.C.Earwicker" and a cool "if he did not exist it would be necessary quoniam to invent him" I like this idea!

34: JOYCE SAYS "LOL" made me smile, ha ha!

35: Seems like this whole page is the expulsion from paradise story

36: Bible as metaphor? H.C.E. again "vimvital" this is interesting. HCE and vimvital are chapstick stuffs!

Hokay, I read more and type less. Ciao!
