And all the way (a horn!) from fjord to fjell

"all the way" refers back to his dimensions

horn (musical instruments)
"a horn!" is sad, not excited
Irish ochone! = alas! (elsewhere: ahone, Ochone!, Ocone!, O Hone!) ('alas' = fweet-35)

Norwegian fjord = bay; fjell = mountain
bay-to-mountain is uphill

his baywinds' oboboes shall wail him rockbound (hoahoahoah!)

bay winds
bay windows... in the room where he's being waked???

wind instruments, oboes (musical instruments)

Latin obeo = I go towards
Greek boes = cries, clamour

Prometheus was chained to a rock by Zeus

"(HoaHoahoath! HoaHoahoath!)" → [ho ho ho???]
"(hoahoahoath! hoahoahoath!)" →
"(hoahoahoah!)"

Howth

in swimswamswum and all the livvylong night,

"he swim, swam, swum" → "in swimswamswum"
maybe past present future??? (why "in"?)

flitting
flute (musical instrument)

Italian flutti: waves

trochee: long-short metrical foot (associated with Issy)
why "tricky"?

(O carina! O carina!) wake him.

why "her" patterjackmartins? could it imply Swift as a helady? (cf Mmlj1)

FDV: "kitti"??? O'Shea w/Parnell? [fweet-29]

about all them inns and ouses.

"about all" not 'all about'
