:o Nomo pejorative thou's or youses behoovesesuppity why can we not just talk?

[AbdoRinbo]

And what did you wanna talk about?

[ryokan]

freeflow literate or preliterate, for that matter. Seacurrentrise like wordsmatterfall after all.

"He lifted his gaze from the idle shells to the old mans stare.
He knew what money was, Mr. deasy said. He made money. A poet but an Englishman too. Do you know what is the pride of the Engish? Do you know what is the proudest word you will ever hear from an Englishman's mouth?
The seas' ruler. His seacold eyes looked on the empty bay; history is to blame; on me and on my words, unhating."
Joyce (_Portrait....)

"Halts by me that footfall;
Is my gloom , after all,
Shade of his hand , outstretched
caressingly?
'Ah fondest , blindest, weakest, I am he whom thou seekest!
Thou dravest love from thee who dravest me.'"

Francis Thompson
"The Hound of Heaven" :o

Isn't that Joyce quote from the 'Nestor' episode of Ulysses? You wrote 'Portrait . . .' underneath it, and I just don't know why.

[ryokan]

:o Apolgies, but that passage is also to be found in the mid of _Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man_. don't recall the exact page # now. Tis direct from the _Viking Portable James Joyce_ ('77) the only reference book I've available here while attending to my aged mother. My whole library is packed and stored far away. I had to pack light coming here, so - few books.

Was this man rather strange as i heard one day?

[ryokan]

:o "People are strange when you're a stranger; faces look ugly when you're alone. Women seem wicked when you're unwanted; streets are uneven, when you're down"
-Jim Morrison

[tree]

it is so...sad.
Do you know it?

[AbdoRinbo]

Ryoken:

I think you've confused the conversation between Stephen and the instructor at Belvedere in A Portrait of the Arist as a Young Man with the conversation between Stephen and Mr. Deasy in Ulysses that you've quoted above.

I like that Morrison quote though (somehow I had imagined you were a Doors fan). You know I think I'm beginning to like you; 'strange' indeed. Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself.

I don't remember that passage at all from A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, and I read it very recently.

Myesss, pack light coming to where exactly? Perhaps you are on some sort of pilgrimage. An artistic journey, enriching the soul... You are quite strange now that I think about it (consider it a compliment).

[AbdoRinbo]

I guess ryoken disappeared. I'll miss him.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

[Munro]

My theory: Ryokan was a vampire. And...*sniff*...*sob*...THEY GOT HIM! THEY DROVE A STAKE RIGHT THROUGH HIS HEART! Oh, the cruelty. Poor, poor Ryokan.

Ryokan, we had a lot of good times. I'm gonna miss ya, buddy.

I thought vampires were noctural. Ryoken posted mostly during the day . . .

M-maybe he'll return, with gifts.

My father-inlaw, age 89, is seeking a poem his mother read to him as a child but he can only remember certain words from the poem and certain facts babout the subject. The poem is about a boy named Roy, whose mother calls him "Buddy Boy. Roy finds a rabbit and names it :Bobbity." That's all he can remember. Does anyone have a clueas to the name of this poem and who wrote it? Many thanks. JMIV
