We stopped at one of the most important questions in the book: "... where in the waste is the wisdom?" (114.20)

Favourites of the day:

No minzies matter. (113.13)

Spissially (schwrites) when they peaches. (113.16)

... ich beam so frech, bey? (113.25)

... anxious to pleace averyburies and jully glad when Christmas comes his once year. (113.34)

We cannot say aye to aye. We cannot smile noes from noes. (114.1)

... lines of litters slithering up and loads of latters slettering down, ... (114.17)

and, of course

... where in the waste is the wisdom? (114.20)

Surely we will all search for a plausible answer to the above question as 2013 ends and 2014 begins!
Have nice holidays, spissially as Christmas comes his once year only!

Blogs/Websites to follow!

Came across a very interesting blog entitled From Swerve of Shore to Bend of Bay on Joyce in general, and Finnegans Wake in particular. I especially enjoyed the post on The Book of Kells with the reproductions from the book and its links to Finnegans Wake.

Also highly recommended is the blog, Finnegans, Wake!

Note that The University of Wisconsin offers freely books (including  (a) A classical lexicon for Finnegans Wake, and (b) James Joyce and the Making of Ulysses by Frank Budgen) and articles under the title, The James Joyce Scholars' Collection as part of its digital collection.

Enjoy reading the blogs and surfing the website!

And, if you discover such blogs/websites, do share them under "Comments". Thank you!
