July 1923: Berkeley level one

The archdruid then explained the illusion of the colourful world, its furniture, animal, vegetable and mineral, appearing to fallen men under but one reflection of the several iridal gradations of solar light, that one which it had been unable to absorb while for the seer beholding reality, the thing as in itself it is, all objects showed themselves in their true colours, resplendent with the sextuple glory of the light actually contained within them. To eyes so unsealed King Leary's fiery locks appeared of the colour of sorrel green, His Majesty's saffron kilt of the hue of brewed spinach, the royal golden breasttorc of the tint of curly cabbage, the verdant mantle of the monarch as of the green of laurel boughs, the commanding azure eyes of a thyme and parsley aspect, the enamelled gem of the ruler's ring as a rich lentil, the violet contusions of the prince's feature tinged uniformly as with an infusion of sennacassia. [cite] [FDV]

does the king lose status as his costume is fathomed, or are these equal synonyms?
King Leary
His Majesty
royal
the monarch
commanding
the ruler
the prince


The archdruid then explained the illusion of the colourful world, its furniture, animal, vegetable and mineral,

it will later be made clear he's explaining it to St Patrick [eg]


appearing to fallen men under but one [reflected] reflection of the several iridal gradations of solar light, that one which it had been unable to absorb

"fallen men" ie, since Eve and Adam?
"iridal" = pertaining to a rainbow
things absorb six of seven colors, reflect one


while for the seer beholding reality, the thing as in itself it is,

"the seer beholding reality" should we read this as Joyce citing his heroes (eg Blake), or AE/Yeats spouting gibberish?

cf Tristan: "Isolde, O Isolde, when theeupon I oculise my most inmost Ego most vaguely senses the profundity of multimathematical immaterialities whereby in the pancosmic urge the Allimmanence of That Which Is Itself exteriorates on this here our plane of disunited solid liquid and gaseous bodies in pearlwhite passionpanting intuitions of reunited Selfhood in the higher dimensional Selflessness."


all objects showed themselves in their true colours, resplendent with the sextuple glory of the light actually contained within them.

"sextuple" implies the other six colors


To eyes so unsealed King Leary's fiery locks appeared of the colour of sorrel green,

"unsealed" suggests madness?

His Majesty's saffron kilt of the hue of brewed spinach,

cf Isolde's rethinking of King Mark's trousers?


the royal golden breasttorc of the tint of curly cabbage,

the verdant mantle of the monarch as of the green of laurel boughs,

John Buchan published a bestselling sequel to "The 39 Steps" in 1916, called "Greenmantle"

the commanding azure eyes of a thyme and parsley aspect,

thyme

parsley

does this hint he's also a sage?


the enamelled gem of the ruler's ring as a rich lentil,

everything is bilaterally symmetric except this one

Alfred's enamel gem

the violet contusions of the prince's feature tinged uniformly as with an infusion of sennacassia.

"violet contusions of the prince's feature" = erect cock? (Hayman sees 'features')
"contusions... uniformly" seems contradictory
the image of a beaten-up king also fits ROC

senna cassia

laxative

the seer sees through the king's rainbow dazzle to the humble vegetable stew below

July 1923: Berkeley level two

The archdruid Barkeley in his heptachromatic sevenhued roranyellowgreeblandigo topside joss pidgeon man then explained to silent whiterobed Patrick the illusiones of the colourful world of joss, its furniture, animal, vegetable and mineral, appearing to fallen men under but one reflectionem of the several iridal gradations of solar light, that one which it had been unable to absorbere while for the seer beholding reality, the thing as in itself it is, all objects showed themselves in their true coloribus, resplendent with the sextuple gloria of the light actually retained within them. In other words To eyes so unsealed King Leary's fiery locks appeared of the colour of sorrel green, while of his six-coloured costume, His Majesty's saffron kilt of the hue of boiled spinach, the royal golden breasttorc of the tint of curly cabbage, the verdant mantle of the monarch as of the viridity of laurel leaves, the commanding azure eyes of a thyme and parsley aspect, the enamelled Indian gem of the ruler's maledictive ring as an olive lentil, the violaceous warwon contusions of the prince's feature tinged uniformly as with a brew of sennacassia. [FDV]

The archdruid Barkeley in his heptachromatic sevenhued roranyellowgreeblandigo

"Barkeley" is how Bishop Berkeley's surname is properly pronounced
treebark, dogbark

U48: "The good bishop of Cloyne took the veil of the temple out of his shovel hat: veil of space with coloured emblems hatched on its field."
U37: "Ineluctable modality of the visible: at least that if no more, thought through my eyes. Signatures of all things I am here to read, seaspawn and seawrack, the nearing tide, that rusty boot. Snotgreen, bluesilver, rust: coloured signs. Limits of the diaphane. But he adds: in bodies. Then he was aware of them bodies before of them coloured. How? By knocking his sconce against them, sure. Go easy. Bald he was and a millionaire, maestro di color che sanno. Limit of the diaphane in. Why in? Diaphane, adiaphane. If you can put your five fingers through it it is a gate, if not a door. Shut your eyes and see."

redundant adjectives, 1st Greek
missing 'violet', and also missing noun!?


[of the Irish josspidgeon]{topside joss pidgeon man}

(this phrase should be set off with commas)
"of the" ie 'man of god'?
archdruid of the Irish bird-god?
topside: superior (pidgin)
joss: God (pidgin) from Portuguese 'deus' but diminished
in T&I1 (around this time) the Waves are called "Jossers"

'Pidgeon' is a surname, 'pigeon' is a bird (cf Holy Ghost?) or less common surname, 'pidgin' is a dialect ('josspidgeon' sounds like a place)

Berkeley should be the native here, speaking pidgin with the newcomer Patrick...?


then explained to silent whiterobed Patrick the illusiones of the colourful world of joss, its furniture, animal, vegetable and mineral, appearing to fallen men under but one reflectionem of the several iridal gradations of solar light, that one which it had been unable to absorbere while for the seer beholding reality, the thing as in itself it is, all objects showed themselves in their true coloribus, resplendent with the sextuple gloria of the light actually retained within them.

around this time, T&I1 had "the landing of St Patrick in the year 1798"
Kevin's lonely retreat was underway earlier

autobiographically, this could be James addressing Stannie, or James being addressed by teachers in books (Bruno, Vico, Dante, Ibsen)

the teacher is wearing seven colors, the king six(?!), the student none
but the teacher claims the colors are illusions, and the truth is not white but shades of green?

Berkeley keeps slipping into Latin: "illusiones... reflectionem... absorbere... coloribus... gloria"


In other words To eyes so unsealed King Leary's fiery locks appeared of the colour of sorrel green, while of his six-coloured costume, His Majesty's saffron kilt of the hue of boiled spinach, the royal golden breasttorc of the tint of curly cabbage, the verdant mantle of the monarch as of the viridity of laurel leaves, the commanding azure eyes of a thyme and parsley aspect,

"fiery locks" plus "six-coloured costume" = 7
"brewed" → "boiled" (humbler?)


the enamelled Indian gem of the ruler's maledictive ring as [once] an olive lentil, the violaceous warwon contusions of the prince's feature tinged uniformly as with a brew of sennacassia.

"Indian" imported evil?
"maledictive" black magic? directed at Patrick or Barkeley?? or at Tristan by Mark?
"olive"
"violaceous warwon" so, bruises

green-olive green

(these "contusions" aren't really part of the six-colored costume are they?)
