FW 10.1-2 --the kids arrive home--


[last] [fweb-toc] [fweet] [finwake] [theall] [pgs]

FDV: [nothing]

"The technique here is a reproduction of a schoolboy's (and schoolgirl's) old classbook complete with marginalia by the twins, who change sides at half time, footnotes by the girl (who doesn't), a Euclid diagram, funny drawings etc. It was like that in Ur of the Chaldees too, I daresay" Joyce to Frank Budgen, July 1939 (Letters, I,406)

synopsis: the route back to the tavern — him and his mausoleum



UNDE ET UBI. 
As we there are where are we are we here haltagain.

[10.1] (right margin notes are aligned to the beginning of paragraphs, in all caps here and in fw1)
(Shaun as speaker has heavier, more academic, tone)

Latin unde et ubi: whence (from where) and where [Aquinas?] [others]
in Aquinas the 'ubi' is italicised and the phrase is translated 'hence, where' (so the 'et' is ignored???)

longshot: Latin Urbi et Orbi: To the City and the World (the pope's address)

we = readers, observing kids?

wha-haw-awh rotation pattern
we there are
where are we
are we here

fw1 had "we there from" instead of "we here haltagain. By recourse, of course, recoursing from"


By recourse, of course, recoursing from Tomtittot to Teetootomtotalitarian.

Viconian 'ricorso'

Tom Tit Tot: a folk tale in which a demon's threat depends on the secrecy of his name (akin to Rumpelstiltskin)
