(e)        Irish tonsure – shaved / front of head to ears

Ireland: Its Saints and Scholars 37: The French bishops and priests in the neighbourhood complained that the Columban monks wore the tonsure differently from the Gaulish clergy. The Columban monks, in accordance with the Irish custom, shaved the front of the head as far as the ears, while the priests of Gaul shaved the top of the head.

 (d)       ^o3 lights in valley

Ireland: Its Saints and Scholars 43-4: An ancient Irish manuscript of unknown authorship divides the Saints of Ireland into three great orders. The First Order was in the time of St. Patrick. They were 350 in number [...] The Second Order numbered 300 [...] and flourished during the latter half of the sixth century. The Third Order of Saints lived in Ireland for a period which extended for about seventy years from the end of the sixth century. The writer of the manuscript says that "the First Order was most holy, the Second Order holier, and the Third holy. The First glowed like the sun in the fervour of their charity; the Second cast a pale radiance like the moon; the Third shone like the aurora. These Three Orders the blessed Patrick foreknew, enlightened by heavenly wisdom, when in prophetic vision he saw at first all Ireland ablaze, and afterwards only the mountains on fire; and at last saw lamps lit in the valleys."

MS 47472-27, ILA: And the prankquean picked a blank and lit out ^+and the valley lay twinkling.+^ | JJA 44:130 | Nov-Dec 1926 | I.1§1.*2/2.*2 | FW 022.27

(c)        ⁺Ictian sea (Manche)

Ireland and the Making of Britain 177: Thus the Irish, who had subdued the war-like Picts of Britain, not only established their authority over the people of south Britain "Even to the Ictian Sea" (English Channel), as Cormac tells us, but may be considered the chief agency in the expulsion of the Romans themselves from Britain.

Note: Fr. Manche. English channel.

 

(f)            ^bunfruitful^b / servant

Ireland: Its Saints and Scholars 62: [Story of Riquier, a nobleman and later a saint, and missionaries whom he protected.] He learned from them to love God above all things, and was filled with sorrow for his past life which he had spent as an unfruitful servant.

(d)            ^rFlummox & Co

Note: Flummox. To confound or confuse. As an alphabetical entry in a reference book, this would immediately follow 'flummery'. So far, the Dickensian-sounding company has not been traced.

MS 47482b-27v, LPS: It wd be a terrible thing ^+altogether+^ if you were to become ^+flummuxed by becoming+^ a company keeper | JJA 57:056 | May 1924 | III§1A.*2/1D.*2//2A.*2/2C.*2 | FW 438.29

(b)            Ballymore / botherus

Note: A line joins the end of 'Ballymore' to the beginning of 'botherus'. Parody of Irish town name, such as Ballymore Eustace in Kildare. These names derive their prefix from the Irish baile mór, signifying 'large town'. The latter, anglicised as 'boher', means 'way, path'.

 

 

VI.B.3.047

 

(c)        ⁺mon petit (femme)

(e)            ^rCoombe

Note: In Dublin the Coombe is an area west of St Patrick's Cathedral, but in the context of the entries that follow it is more likely here to be used in the more general sense of a valley, as in the coombes of Sussex.

VI.B.3.065

(a)            ^r(r+o+y+b+i+v)

Note: An important conceptual note for Patrick and the Druid. The OED lists 'culter' as a variant spelling of 'coulter' = a knife. Thus we have the culture + cult + the cutter (and, of course, the colour) of the Ding-an-sich, as well as a pun on cutting the grass. 'Roygbiv' was the rainbow-colour mnemonic Bloom learned at school (U 13.1075) – note the absence of green in the present instance.

(e)            ⁺Interpreter / – Maam  †

Note: See VI.A.0021.

See CW 'Ireland at the Bar', 197: Several years ago a sensational trial was held in Ireland. In a lonely place in a western province, called Maamtrasna, a murder was committed. Four of five townsmen, all belonging to the ancient tribe of the Joyces, were arrested. The oldest of them, the seventy year old Myles Joyce, was the prime suspect. Public opinion at the time thought him innocent and today considers him a martyr. Neither the old man nor the others accused knew English. The court had to resort to the services of an interpreter. The questioning, conducted through the interpreter, was at times comic and at times tragic. On one side was the excessively ceremonious interpreter, on the other the patriarch of a miserable tribe unused to civilized customs, who seemed stupefied by all the judicial ceremony.[...] The figure of this dumbfounded old man, a remnant of a civilization not ours, deaf and dumb before his judge, is a symbol of the Irish nation at the bar of public opinion.

'Maamtrasna, is anglicised as 'Maam Cross'.

Note: Buckley and the Russian General. A story of an Irish soldier in the Crimean War, told by Joyce's father. It later became the basis for the 'Butt and Taff' episode in II.3. See JJII, 398.

"Who struck Buckley." Common phrase used to irritate Irishmen. The story is that an Englishman having struck an Irishman named Buckle, the latter made a great outcry, and one of his friends rushed forth screaming, "Who struck Buckley?" "I did," said the Englishman, preparing for the apparently inevitable combat. "Then," said the ferocious Hibernian, after a careful investigation of the other's thews and sinews, "then, sarve him right."

Ireland: Its Saints and Scholars 83: Dagobert II., King of the Austrasian Franks, was educated at Slane

Note: The reference to Brian O'Lynn is an extrapolation by Joyce, connecting the French song about 'le roi Dagobert qui met sa culotte à l'envers', with the Irish song about the intrepid Brian O'Lynn who liked to wear his breeches 'With the fleshy side out and the woolly side in'.

But each of them had a prize to win, a goal to kick, an axe to grind, a race to run, a new thrust in tierce to deliver, a name to carve, a crow to pick–so they were not followers of true adventure. / In the big city the twin spirits Romance and Adventure are always abroad seeking worthy wooers.[...] Rudolf Steiner was a true adventurer.

?Tristan et Iseut, V 'Brangien Livrée aux Serfs' 52: A dix-huit jours de là, ayant convoqué tous ses barons, il prit à femme Iseut la Blonde. Mais, lorsque vint la nuit, Brangien, afin de cacher le déshonneur de la reine et pour la sauver de la mort, prit la place d'Iseut dans le lit nuptial. En châtiment de la male garde qu'elle avait faite sur la mer et pour l'amour de son amie, elle lui sacrifia, la fidèle, la pureté de son corps; l'obscurité de la nuit cacha au roi sa ruse et sa honte.

'Bragwaine Given Over To the Serfs' 53: Eighteen days from that time, having convoked all his barons, he took Iseult the Fair to wife. But when night fell, Bragwaine, in order to hide the Queen's dishonour and to save her from death, took her place in the bridal bed. In atonement for the evil guard she had kept on the ship and for love of her mistress, the faithful follower sacrificed the purity of her body; the darkness hid her shame and her deceit from the King.

(b)        ^ra whispered reputation / for strange sins

Oscar Wilde 34: Willie Wilde came over to London and got employment as a journalist and was soon given almost a free hand by the editor of the society paper "The World". With rare unselfishness, or, if you will, with Celtic clannishness, he did a good deal to make Oscar's name known.  Every clever thing that Oscar said or that could be attributed to him, Willie reported in "The World".  This puffing and Oscar's own uncommon power as a talker; but chiefly perhaps a whispered reputation for strange sins, had thus early begun to form a sort of myth around him.  He was already on the way to becoming a personage; there was a certain curiosity about him, a flutter of interest in whatever he did.

MS 47471b-20, ILA: followed ^+a whispered reputation+^ unwordlywise ^+sins+^ | JJA 45:163 | probably Nov 1923 | I.3§3.*1 | FW 069.04

(c)        ^rdipped into

Oscar Wilde 37: Oscar had already dipped into his little patrimony, as we have seen, and he could not conceal from himself that he would soon have to live on what he  could earn–a few pounds a week.  But then he was a poet and had boundless confidence in his own ability.  To the artist nature the present is everything; just for to-day he resolved that he would live as he had always lived; so he travelled first class to London and bought all the books and papers that could distract him on the way: "Give me the luxuries," he used to say, "and anyone can have the necessaries."

MS 47482b-15v, LPA: Look out for ^+furnished lodgers [...]Read ^+Dip into+^ the lives of the Saints in weekly parts to better your mind+^ | JJA 57:032 | probably Apr 1924 | III§1A.*1/1D.*1//2A.*1/2C.*1 | FW 440.21

(d)        ^oone is fain

Oscar Wilde 43: "The Nation" underrated American curiosity.  Oscar lectured some ninety times from January till July, when he returned to New York.  The gross receipts amounted to some £ 4,000: he received about £ 1,200, which left him with a few hundreds above his expenses.  His optimism regarded this as a triumph. One is fain to confess today that these lectures make very poor reading.  There is not a new thought in them; not even a memorable expression; they are nothing but student work, the best passages in them being mere paraphrases of Pater and Arnold, though the titles were borrowed from Whistler.

MS 47472-152, TsTMA: ^+one is fain in this leaden age of letters now to wit+^ | JJA 45:191 | 1927 | I.3§1.3/2.3/3.3 | FW 061.30

(e)        ^rbetter his mind

Oscar Wilde 45: September, 1883, saw Oscar again in England. The platform gave him better results than the theatre, but not enough for freedom or ease. It is the more to his credit that as soon as he got a couple of hundred pounds ahead, he resolved to spend it in bettering his mind.

(f)            released from a / bottle of Djinn / (gin)

Oscar Wilde 47: It was on this visit to Lady Wilde, or a later one, that I first heard of that other poem of Oscar, "The Harlot's House," which was also said to have been written in Paris. Though published in an obscure sheet and in itself commonplace enough it made an astonishing stir. Time and advertisement had been working for him. Academic lectures and imitative poetry alike had made him widely known; and, thanks to the small body of enthusiastic admirers whom I have already spoken of, his reputation instead of waning out had grown like the Jinn when released from the bottle.

Note: Djin. A genie.

VI.B.3.150

(a)            ^rcharmeur

Oscar Wilde 50: At this time he was a superb talker, more brilliant than any I have ever heard in England, but nothing like what he became later.  His talk soon made me forget his repellant physical peculiarities; indeed I soon lost sight of them so completely that I have wondered since how I could have been so disagreeably affected by them at first sight.  There was an extraordinary physical vivacity and geniality in the man, an extraordinary charm in his gaiety, and lightning-quick intelligence.  His enthusiasms, too, were infectious.  Every mental question interested him, especially if it had anything to do with art or literature.  His whole face lit up as he spoke and one saw nothing but his soulful eyes, heard nothing but his musical tenor voice; he was indeed what the French call a "charmeur".

MS 47478-118, TMA on insert: charman, charmante ^+charmeurs+^. who once under the branches of the elms | JJA 52:016 | 1934 | II.2§3.*1 | FW 267.24

(e)        book tumbled down / after hes haven't / read 'bout four 'r / sev'n 'r so pages / of whisk'.

 

VI.B.3.151

(a)            eponymous

Oscar Wilde 63: One day I met a handsome youth in his company named John Gray, and I could not wonder that Oscar found him interesting, for Gray had not only great personal distinction, but charming manners and a marked poetic gift, a much greater gift than Oscar possessed.  He had besides an eager, curious mind, and of course found extraordinary stimulus in Oscar's talk.  It seemed to me that intellectual sympathy and the natural admiration which a younger man feels for a brilliant senior formed the obvious bond between them.  But no sooner did Oscar republish "Dorian Gray" than ill-informed and worse-minded persons went about saying that the eponymous hero of the book was John Gray, though "Dorian Gray" was written before Oscar had met or heard of John Gray.

(b)            orchidlike personality

Oscar Wilde 64: One phase of Beardsley's extraordinary development may be recorded here. When I first met him his letters, and even his talk sometimes, were curiously youthful and immature, lacking altogether the personal note of his drawings. As soon as this was noticed he took the bull by the horns and pretended that his style in writing was out of date; he wished us to believe that he hesitated to shock us with his "archaic sympathies." Of course we laughed and challenged him to reveal himself. Shortly afterwards I got an article from him written with curious felicity of phrase, in modish polite eighteenth-century English. He had reached personal expression in a new medium in a month or so, and apparently without effort. It was Beardsley's writing that first won Oscar to recognition of his talent, and for a while he seemed vaguely interested in what he called his "orchid-like personality."

(c)            ^rTalked of Him

But Oscar Wilde was conscious of great ability and was driven by an inordinate vanity. Instead of diminishing his pretensions in the face of opposition he increased them. He began to go abroad in the evening in knee breeches and silk stockings wearing strange flowers in his coat–green cornflowers and gilded lilies–while talking about Baudelaire, whose name even was unfamiliar, as a world poet, and proclaiming the strange creed that "nothing succeeds like excess." Very soon his name came into everyone's mouth; London talked of him and discussed him at a thousand tea-tables.

The Interpreters 11-12: Imagination was at work.

(d)            ^r[wedding] favors white heather / & [myrtle]

Note: The wedding dress of the later queen Elisabeth, who married on 26 April 1923, was described in these words: 'The veil, of antique lace, was secured by a simple bandeau of myrtle leaves, with a knot of white roses of York and white heather at each ear. It was lent to the bride by her future mother-in-law, Queen Mary. Lace played a significant part in weddings and these heirlooms were passed from mother to daughter (or daughter-in-law) for their special dresses.'

Note: These entries have been written upside down. As work in progress, the chapters of what is now FW III were designated as ba, b, c, d, signifying the four watches of Shaun. Like (h) and (i), these entries were added after compilation of VI.B.03 was finished, as neither Shaun nor the sigla had been invented yet.
