FDV: "Honey is the holiest thing ever was {(mind you keep pot!)} or some goat's milk, sir?"



Poppypap's a passport out.

opium; Lotus-eaters
Pop, pappy = HCE, John Joyce
in ancient Ireland a primitive adoption ceremony involved the sucking of male paps; St Patrick refused to submit to it

French passe-partout: functioning in all circumstances; a master key

overdose = passport to death?


And honey is the holiest thing ever was, hive, comb and earwax, the food for glory

Swift: Battle of the Books: (of the wisdom of the ancients) 'honey and wax... furnishing Mankind with the two Noblest of things' [Swift on Aesop on spiders' poison vs bees' 'sweetness and light']

HCE


(mind you keep the pot or your nectar cup may yield too light!),

fdv: "keep pot" [cite?]
'keep the pot boiling'?
'keep the pot upside down'?

pot in cardgame (eg ombre)

why is the nectar cup's yield important?
maybe: allusion to the weighing of the deceased’s heart before Oriris in the Egyptian Book of the Dead?


and some goat's milk, sir, like the maid used to bring you.

VI.B1.65: 'goatsmilk'

cf cowsmilkmaid in U1?
