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?)

July 1923? Kevineen level one and two

As an infant Kevineen delighted himself by playing with the sponge on tubbing night. As a growing boy {under the influence of holy religion which had been instilled into him across his grandmother's knee} he grew more & more pious and abstracted like the time God knows he sat down on the plate of mutton broth. He simply had no time for girls and often used to say that his dearest mother & his dear sisters were good enough for him. At the age of six he wrote a prize essay on kindness to fishes.

pretty harmless foreshadowing of OCD?

transferred from Issy2: "She could do 2 things at same time... sometimes it was how she would be studying something like the day God knows she sat down in the plate of soup (Kevin"

"plate of... broth"?
why was the broth on a plate, and why was a plate where anyone could sit on it?
"mutton broth" sounds poor but funny
why grandmother not mother? was spanking to blame for his OCD?


He simply had no time for girls and often used to say that his dearest mother & his dear sisters were good enough for him.

clearly an incest joke, though from the perspective of the Church there's no innuendo implied at all

cf T&I5 (later): "Isolde! O Isolde! Sister soul and hand!"


At the age of six he wrote a prize essay on kindness to fishes.

Joyce's self-parody
cf kindness to beggars/animals/fishes/bugs (Issy is kind to devil, beggar-saint, dragon)

why add "six months"? to emphasize the number six?

July 1923??? Kevineen level four?

Shortly after having come into this vale of tears, the little stranger Kevineen delighted himself by sporting with the sponge on tubbing night. As a growing boy under the influence of holy religion instilled into him across his grandmother's old king Jones's knee he grew more and more pious like the time God knows when ejaculating for forty days indulgence and ten quarantines he sat down on the plate of mutton broth. He simply had no time for girls and things and often used he to say to his dearest mother and dear sisters as how his dearest mother and dear sisters were good enough for him. Of him we are further told that at the age of six he wrote a school prize essay on kindness to freshwater fish.

already finding lonely joy in isolation and purification


As a growing boy under the influence of holy religion instilled into him across his grandmother's old king Jones's knee he grew more and more pious like the time God knows when ejaculating for forty days indulgence and ten quarantines he sat down on the plate of mutton broth.

"his grandmother's old king Jones's knee" can this be right?
"when ejaculating for forty days indulgence and ten quarantines"


He simply had no time for girls and things and often used he to say to his dearest mother and dear sisters as how his dearest mother and dear sisters were good enough for him.


Of him we are further told that at the age of six he wrote a school prize essay on kindness to freshwater fish.

changing "fishes" to "freshwater fish" loses the pathos and replaces it with more OCD (why not saltwater fish too?)

For her charm she knew how to stagemanage her legs in the several positions of goody twoshoes, aunty Nance, stepladder, green peas, love me little, funny toast, lovers' lever, love me long.

For her charity one day when it was sneezing cold she met a beggargirl in the park and, having no small change about her, she went behind a bramblebush, slipped off her petticoat and gave it to the beggargirl who instantly disappearing (she having been in point of fact Saint Dympna) along with the petticoat. On another occasion there was a pestilence caused by a certain dragon who said it would go on for ever unless she took off all her clothes and walked from Cape Clear to Mizzen Head. So she did this. And everybody pulled down all their blinds in Ireland. The dragon was then converted and entered a convent. [ms]

we can look first for echoes of Lucia (now 16yo) and Nora, with Scribbledehobble notes under Eveline and Nausikaa

1. prudence
2. learning in geog
3. charm
4. health
5. piety
6. learning in zoog
7. domestic economy
8. pity
9. charity

these seem like a fairly random selection of conventional feminine virtues (minus cooking)


For her prudence she always left the key of her press in the lock of her press, the pen of the inkbottle in the neck of the ink bottle. Never were they lost.

phrases like "For her prudence" usually follow 'she was praised'.
here's a 1706 example referring to the Church of England

(laziness not prudence)


For her learning in geog she knew that Italy was a jackboot, India a pink ham and France a patched quilt.

"geog" is almost always an abbreviation for geography, but one very-very-longshot exception is a Persian village of Nestorians called Geog Tapa

cf VI.A Eveline (July): "York on map red (rose)"

jackboots in 1923 hadn't yet become associated with fascism

pink... ham?

patched quilt

For her charm she knew how to stagemanage her legs in the several positions of goody twoshoes, aunty Nance, stepladder, green peas, love me little, funny toast, lovers' lever, love me long.

"stagemanage" acting class, or dance class?

goody twoshoes [ebook]
aunty Nance ['aunt Nancy' = gay man?]
stepladder [how to climb a ladder modestly?]
green peas
love me little [cf "love me long", below]
funny toast [speech before drinking]
lovers' lever [love her and leave her? or a trick for lovers-plural to control each other's motion??]
love me long [using legs to signal degree of desire??]

Lucia would study Dalcroze c1926:

Dalcroze positions?

cf yoga?

cf kama sutra???

 'If our young friends can become members of a good good dancing-class to which nice young people belong, they will improve in the proper use of arms and legs' [1913]


For her health only her in the house got the measles when she was a bottlefed babe.

breastfeeding was believed better than bottle for resisting contagious diseases like measles
measles was very common and usually mild
(but ctching measles nothing to brag about, unless it strengthened her immunity later? or was such vulnerability considered feminine??)
vaccines introduced 1963


For her piety Isolde's night prayer and orison so ran: —Howfar wartnevin alibithename Kingcome illbedone nerth tisnevin. Usisday daybread givesdressp sweegivethem dresspas gainstus leesnot tootntation liversm evil Men.

ORihzen (what are the implications of this term?)

homonyms: wart, alibi, ill, dress, sweet, snot, toot, liver

      Howfar  Our Father

For her learning in zoog she knew lamb, lamb a young sheep.

zoography is descriptive zoology
"lamb, lamb" suggests a nursery rhyme?


For her domestic economy she cleaned the chimneyflue by setting fire to an Irish Times and hooshing it blazing up the flue and she washed the hall by standing leaving her wet umbrella ?dreeping open in a corner.

Nora?
theory of chimney sweeps
"Irish Times" limits setting to Ireland
"dreeping" dripping + weeping?


For her pity there were times she even pitied the damned old devil himself fanning himself with his asbestos slippers in the coolingroom in hell.

asbestos slippers

fireproof fabrics made from asbestos have a long history, gradually abandoned for health reasons in the 20thC


For her charity one day when it was sneezing cold she met a beggargirl in the park and, having no small change about her, she went behind a bramblebush, slipped off her petticoat and gave it to the beggargirl who instantly disappeared (she having been in point of fact Saint Dympna) along with the petticoat.

'a sneezing cold' is a phrase
"small change" has referred to coins for centuries
"bramblebush" longshot: Brer Fox in Uncle Remus?

Dymphna

has Issy made up this story to explain where her petticoat disappeared to?


On another occasion there was a pestilence caused by a certain dragon who said it would go on for ever unless she took off all her clothes and walked from Cape Clear to Mizzen Head. So she did this. And everybody pulled down all their blinds in Ireland. The dragon was then converted and entered a convent.
