Finnegans Wake Notes

185.01 nature never needed such an alcove so, when Robber and Mum-

185.02 sell, the pulpic dictators,on the nudgment of their legal advisers,

185.03 Messrs Codex and Podex, and under his own benefiction of their

185.04 pastor Father Flammeus Falconer, boycotted him of all mutton-

185.05 suet candles and romeruled stationery for any purpose, he winged

185.06 away on a wildgoup's chase across the kathartic ocean and made

185.07 synthetic ink and sensitive paper for his own end out of his wit's

185.08 waste. You ask, in Sam Hill, how? Let manner and matter of this

185.09 for these our sporting times be cloaked up in the language of

185.10 blushfed porporates that an Anglican ordinal, not reading his

185.11 own rude dunsky tunga, may ever behold the brand of scarlet

185.12 on the brow of her of Babylon and feel not the pink one in his

185.13 own damned cheek.

185.14 Primum opifex, altus prosator, ad terram viviparam et cuncti-

185.15 potentem sine ullo pudore nec venia, suscepto pluviali atque discinctis

185.16 perizomatis, natibus nudis uti nati fuissent, sese adpropinquans,

185.17 flens et gemens, in manum suam evacuavit (highly prosy, crap in his

185.18 hand, sorry!), postea, animale nigro exoneratus, classicum pulsans,

185.19 stercus proprium, quod appellavit deiectiones suas, in vas olim

185.20 honorabile tristitiae posuit, eodem sub invocatione fratrorum gemino-

185.21 rum Medardi et Godardi laete ac melliflue minxit,psalmum qui

185.22 incipit: Lingua mea calamus scribae velociter scribentis: magna voce

185.23 cantitans (did a piss, says he was dejected, asks to be exonerated),

185.24 demum ex stercore turpi cum divi Orionis iucunditate mixto, cocto,

185.25 frigorique exposito, encaustum sibi fecit indelibile (faked O'Ryan's,

185.26 the indelible ink).

185.27 Then, pious Eneas, conformant to the fulminant firman which

185.28 enjoins on the tremylose terrian that, when the call comes, he

185.29 shall produce nichthemerically from his unheavenly body a no

185.30 uncertain quantity of obscene matter not protected by copriright

185.31 in the United Stars of Ourania or bedeed and bedood and bedang

185.32 and bedung to him, with this double dye, brought to blood heat,

185.33 gallic acid on iron ore, through the bowels of his misery, flashly,

185.34 faithly, nastily, appropriately, this Esuan Menschavik and the first

185.35 till last alshemist wrote over every square inch of the only fools-

185.36 cap available, his own body, till by its corrosive sublimation one
