Chapter 25 Chapter 15 2

Bloom (indistinctly) The university of life.Degenerate art. Beaufoy (shouting loudly.) What a vile lie, proof of his moral corruption! (Opening his briefcase) I have solid evidence here, and I have the facts of the crime[116].Your Excellency, this is a sample of my masterpiece, which has been spoiled by the mark of this beast. [117] voice from the gallery Moses, Moses, king of Judea, Wipe your ass with the Journal. Bloom (bravely) That's an exaggeration. Beaufoy You dirty ruffian!Should have thrown you in the horse-washing tank, you rascal! (to the court) Well, look at this fellow's private life!He does one thing to his face and another behind his back.He is an angel on the outside, but a devil at home.In front of women, his behavior is simply unbearable!Really the greatest conspirator of our time!

Bloom (to the court) But he's a bachelor, how could... Patrol A Prosecutors charged Bloom.Biography woman Driscoll to appear in court. court service Maid Mary Driscoll! (Mary Driscoll, a scruffy young maid, comes in. A pail is slung over her arm and a scrubbing brush is in her hand.) Patrolman B Here comes another one!You too belong to that unfortunate class, don't you? Mary Driscoll (indignantly) I'm not a bad woman.I am of good character, and I have been four months with the family I served before.The wages are six pounds a year, with Fridays off.But this person teased me, so I had no choice but to quit my job.

Patrol A What are you accusing him of? Mary Driscoll He teased me.But although I am poor, I know how to respect myself. Bloom (Wearing a moire jacket, flannel trousers, heelless slippers, unshaven, slightly messy hair.) I've been good to you.I've sent you souvenirs, beautiful bright brown garters far beyond your status.When the hostess reproaches you for stealing, I flippantly favor you.Do nothing too much, and be just. Mary Driscoll (passionately) Swear it before God tonight.I will not reach out to take such benefits! Patrol A What are you accusing him of?Did something happen?

Mary Driscoll I was startled by this man smoking cold in the backyard of the house, Mr. Judge.One morning, while my mistress was out shopping, he made me take off a brooch for him, and put his arms around me, so that I still have four purple spots on my body.He also stuck his hands in my clothes twice. Bloom She hit me back. Mary Driscoll (Contemptuously) I have more respect for the floor brush[118], that's it.Lord Judge, I blame him.He told me, don't make it public. (There is a roar of laughter.) George Futterier[119] (Court Clerk. Announces loudly) Silence!Now it's up to the defendant to make his fabricated confession. (Bloom pleads not guilty. He holds a water lily in full bloom and begins, a long and incomprehensible speech. The following excerpt from the defense will be heard to the grand jury: Down and out, despite being branded a black sheep, he is determined to turn his back on the past, remember the past with all docility, and return to nature as a well-raised animal. He was born prematurely at seven months. Xian's old father carefully raised him. He himself may have gone astray several times, but he is eager to turn a new leaf. Now finally facing the whipping post tied up to be flogged, he can't wait to be surrounded by family Warm breath, spent his old age in reunion. He has been made British by the environment. That summer evening, when the rain stopped, he stood on the running board of the Circular Railway Company's engine room, across Dublin The windows of loving homes in the city and suburbs offer glimpses of blissful, thoroughly idyllic country life, plastered with shillings and ninepence a dozen bought at Dockrell's Wallpaper. Here, innocent English-born dolls pray to the Holy Child inarticulately; The family said the Rosary on the Christmas Eve log in the house, while the girls and boys wandered along the shady paths; as they walked, came the melody of the American harmonium, which sounded like Brachial organ, rimmed in Britannia[121], with four good stops and twelve-pleated bellows, cheap, cheapest...)

(Another burst of laughter breaks out. He grunts incoherently. The interrogation scribes complain of inaudibleness.) General Recorders and Stenographers (Still looking down at the record book) Let him relax a bit. Professor Matthew (coughs in the press box, yelling) Cough it all out, man, little by little. (Information about Bloom and the bucket. A big bucket. Bloom himself. Diarrhea. In Beaver Street. Colic, yes. Painful. Plasterer's bucket[122].) Stiff, shuffling away.endure unspeakable pain.It hurts like hell.Near noon.Either Lust or Burgundy.Yes, a little spinach.crucial moment.He never looked into the bucket.No one was there.It's a mess.Not finished.An outdated copy of Tidbit [123].

(There is a booing and a booing. Bloom, in his tattered and limed-water frock coat, with his sunken top hat on one side and a strip of sticking plaster across his nose, speaks in a low voice. ) Jay Jay O'Molloy (Wearing a senior lawyer's silver wig and woolen gown, in a tone of mournful protest.) This court is not a place where obscene or indiscreet speeches can be made to hurt a drunken criminal.This is neither a bear ring nor Oxford where mischief can be practiced. [124] No farce in court.My client is a minor, a poor immigrant from a foreign country.He started out as a stowaway and is now trying to earn some money by working decently.The wrongdoings that were falsely accused were caused by occasional hereditary deliriums caused by hallucinations.The intimacy allegedly committed in this case was perfectly permissible in the country of Pharaoh[125] where my client was born.I would say that, on first impression[126], there is no carnal attempt.There was no affair, and the alleged molestation by Driscoll was not a repeat offence.In particular, I would like to address the problem of atavistic inheritance.My client's family has a history of total nervous breakdowns and sleepwalking.Had the defendant been allowed to state, he could have told one thing[127]--one of the most wonderful stories ever told in a book.His Excellency, he is physically disabled, from that lung disease common to cobblers.According to his complaint, he is of Mongolian descent and takes no responsibility for his actions.In fact, there are no problems at all.

Bloom (Barefoot, chicken-breasted, dressed in East Indian sailor's trousers, apologetically turning his big toes into a splayed figure. With mole-like squinted eyes, he looks around blankly, and slowly strokes with one hand Forehead. Then with a sailor's sash, and with an Oriental shrug and a deep bow to the court, thumbs up.) Much, well, yes, night, night. (Sings innocently.) Poor little Lily, Every night the pig's feet are delivered, Two shillings for you... (Everyone screams strangely and throws him off the stage.) Jay Jay O'Molloy (Angrily to the booers) It's a one-on-one fight.I swear to Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, that my client will not be allowed to be toyed with like this by a pack of wild dogs and laughing hyenas, and he will not be allowed to speak. The Law of Moses[128] has replaced the Jungle Law.In no way do I wish to compromise the purpose of justice, but I must repeat this point repeatedly: the defendant was not an accomplice to a premeditated conspiracy, and the fact that the prosecutor was played did not exist.The accused had been treating the young woman as his own daughter. (Bloom takes J. J. O'Molloy's hand and lifts it to his lips.) I'll give a counter-evidence that proves once and for all that the invisible hand[129] is playing its usual tricks. .If you still think it's suspicious, go ahead and persecute Bloom.My client was too shy to commit such indecent acts as those whose chastity would be protested.When a coward who is responsible for a girl's condition has gratified his lust in her and led her astray, he will never go and throw stones at her.He wants to be a man who follows the rules.He is one of the most noble and innocent people I have ever known.He was now in a bad position, for his vast estate of the Settlement Company was mortgaged, in faraway Asia Minor.Now I'll show you the slides. (to Bloom) I suggest you be generous.

Bloom Pay a penny for every pound. [130] (Images of Lake Neret are reflected on the wall: cows grazing in a haze of silver mist. Moshe Drugatz, an albino with mole eyes, comes from the gallery Stands up. He is wearing an Indian denim gown and holds a citron, an orange, and a pork kidney in each hand.) Drugatz (Hoarsely) Breibuttliu Straße in the West 13th district of Berlin [132]. (J. J. O'Molloy steps onto the low pedestal and clutches his lapel solemnly. His face grows long and pale, unshaven, with sunken eyes, appearing like John F. Taylor Blistering blisters from tuberculosis, cheekbones flushed. He puts his handkerchief to his mouth and examines a spurt of rose-coloured blood.)

Jay Jay O'Molloy (Voice almost inaudible) Excuse me.I was terribly cold and had only recently left the hospital bed.Briefly say a few words. (He imitated the eloquence of Seymour Bush, with the head of a bird, the beard of a fox, and the trunk of an elephant.) When the book of angels is opened, the heart that grows in the brooding breast If the purified soul and the incarnation of the purifying soul have any value in existence,[135] I propose that a divine and favorable verdict be granted on the suspicion against this criminal accused. (A written note is handed over to the court.) Bloom

(in gown) The best witnesses I can give are Karen and Coleman[136] Gentlemen, Wisdom Healy J. p.Sir, my former boss Joe Kraft, ex-Mayor of Dublin Mr. V. B. Dillon[137].I was associated with the glamorous people of high society... the ladies of Dublin society. (casually) I was at a reception at the Governor's House this afternoon, chatting with my old friend Sir Robert Power and his wife, the Director of the Observatory.I said: Sir Bob[138]... Mrs Nalverton Barry[139] (Wears a milky white dance shirt with a low open collar, a pair of ivory gloves that reach to the elbow, and a brick-colored shawl-style coat trimmed with sable fur, thinly waffled with cotton, and patted into patterns. With a jeweled comb and egret feathers.) Police, arrest him.When my husband was on his way to the North End of Tipperary,[140] for the Munster Circuit, he wrote me a poorly written anonymous letter, signed James Lovebirch[141] , with his backhand.The letter said that when I sat in the box of the Royal Theater to watch the imperial performance,[142] he saw my unparalleled eyeballs from the balcony.I set his feelings up like a fire, he said.He made some indecent gestures to me and invited me to meet him next Thursday at 4:30 p.m. Dunsink[143] standard time.He also offered to send me a novel by Mr. Paul de Cock, entitled The Girl with the Three Corsets. [144]

Mrs Bellingham (He wears a bonnet and a cloak of imitation seals and rabbitskin with a collar that reaches up to his nose. She steps down from the chaise and draws from her large kangaroo muff a pair of tortoiseshell-rimmed monocle with handle. ) He said the same thing to me.Yes, this must be the misbehaving fellow.On a rainy and sleet day in February 1993, it was so cold that even the iron grille of the sewage pipe and the float valve of the bathtub froze.Outside Sir Thornley Stoke's house he closed the carriage door for me.Later, he attached a flower of edelweiss to his letter, saying that he had picked it from the hill to express his admiration to me.I'll ask a botanist to identify it.It turned out to be locally grown potato flowers that he had stolen from the ripening boxes at Model Farm. Mrs Nalverton Barry Shameless! (A crowd of whores and slobs swarm.) whores and slobs (screaming) Don't let the thief get away!Whoops, Bluebeard[146]!Judas Lamo[147] Long live! Patrolman B (takes out the handcuffs) Be quiet! Mrs Bellingham This fellow writes to me in all sorts of scripts, complimenting me grossly as Venus in furs, and expressing his deep sympathy for my frozen coachman, Palmer, and his admiration for Palmer's The hat with earflaps and the fluffy sheepskin coat and how lucky he was to be around me.That is to say, envy him in his livery bearing the Bellingham coat of arms—a stag's head embroidered in gold thread on a black coat of arms.He praised my toes, my full calves tightly wrapped in silk stockings, and my other treasures hidden in expensive lace, as if he could remember them all.He urged me--and said he felt it was his life's calling--to defile the marriage bed as soon as possible and commit fornication. Lady Mervyn Talboy[149] (In riding clothes, bowler hat, boots with spurs like rooster's spurs; scarlet waistcoat, musketeer's fawn gloves The skirt is woven. She lifts up her long skirt and keeps flicking her hunting whip, lashing the piping.) He did the same to me.Because at the polo field in Phoenix Park, he caught a glimpse of me.On that occasion, the All-Ireland team played against the Irish Second Team[150].When Inniskilling's strongman, Captain Dennehy, won the final round on his favorite short-legged horse, Center, my eyes shone holy.The commoner Don Juan saw me from behind a cab.He sent me an obscene photograph—the kind that is sold on the avenues in Paris after dark—in a double envelope.This was intolerable for any classy woman.I still have it.In the photo was a half-naked lady, delicate and beautiful—he told me solemnly that this was his wife, and it was taken on the spot.She was doing that sort of thing secretly with a burly foot matador[152] - obviously a bad guy.He urged me to do the same, to loose myself, to have some rough time with the officers of the garrison.He begged me to dirty his letter in an indescribable way, to punish him--he deserved a severe punishment--to allow him to carry me on his back, to ride him like a horse, and to whip him badly . Mrs Bellingham He does the same with me. Mrs Nalverton Barry Same for me. (Several of Dublin's best ladies hold up for all to see Bloom's sordid letters to them.) Dame Mervyn Talboy (Suddenly angry. Her spurs jingle.) I swear to God, I'll teach him a lesson, I'll whip this cowardly, vile dog as fast as he can.I will skin him alive. Bloom (Closes eyes, huddles up, knowing that he is inevitable) Was it on the spot? (squirms awkwardly) Again! (panting timidly) I like taking risks like that. Dame Mervyn Talboy Exactly!I'm going to give you something to try.Tell you to dance like Jack Rattan. [153] Mrs Bellingham This upstart!Hit his ass hard.There were streaks across it, like the Stars and Stripes. Mrs Yelverton Barry a shame!He has nothing to excuse!A married man! Bloom Where are these people.I mean just slap slap.It was hot and red, but it didn't bleed.Gently whipping a few times with Ye wooden sticks can also promote blood circulation. Dame Mervyn Talboy (laughing) Why, really, my dear?Then, by the Holy God, I'll scare your life away.I keep my word, and I will give you the cruelest whipping.You have pissed off the tigress sleeping in my nature. Mrs Bellingham (Gritting his teeth and shaking the scarf and the monocle) Dear Hana, let him taste it.Give him a piece of ginger [154].Beat the mongrel half to death with a nine-tailed whip.castrated him.Chop him into eight pieces. Bloom (shivering all over, huddled in a ball, crouching and clasping his hands together) Oh, it's so cold!Oh, I'm shivering all the time!That's because you are as beautiful as a fairy.Forget it, forgive it.This is destiny[155] ah.Please forgive me this time. (He stretches the other cheek.) Mrs Yelverton Barry (sternly) Mrs. Talboy, never forgive him!He should be beaten up! Dame Mervyn Talboy (unbuttons his gauntlet aggressively) Why forgive him.Dogs are beasts, and they are born with such virtues!How dare he woo me!I'm going to beat him black and blue on the street.Drive the cogs on the spurs into his flesh.Everyone knows he's a bastard. (She hurls the whip violently through the air.) Pull off his trousers now!Come here, you bastard!Hurry up!Are you ready? Bloom (shivering all over, starts to do as she says) It's still warm today. (Curly-haired David Stephens walks with a group of barefoot newsboys.] David Stephens The Messenger of the Sacred Heart[157] and the Evening Telegraph, with their St. Patrick's Day supplements, had the addresses of all those bastards in Dublin. (The Dean in the golden cloak, Bishop O'Hanlon, holds up the marble clock for the crowd to see. Father Conroy and Father John Hughes, Jesuit, bow their heads.) clock (The bell door opens.) Cuckoo. Cuckoo. Cuckoo. (There is the tinkling of brass rings on the bedstead.) copper ring Card slightly Jia slightly.Card Ga Condolence Ga.Card slightly Jia slightly.

Patrol A This guy is a suspect.Another girl's braids were twisted off. [161] Wanted Murderer Jack [162]. A prize of one thousand pounds is up for grabs. Patrolman B (afraid, whispering) And in black.Is a polygamist.anarchist. court service (Loudly) Leopold Bloom of no fixed address is a notorious dynamite-wielding bandit, forger, bigamist, molester, and bum.He is detrimental to the common good of the citizens of Dublin.Now before the jury of this Assize Court, by Your Excellency the President... (The Honorable Sir Frederick Faulkina, Judge of the Dublin City Record, in gray and white stone robes and a beard of stone statue[163], rises from his bench. He holds in his arms the umbrella-like rod. A pair of ram’s horns like Moses grew straight from the forehead.) record judge This judge will categorically annul this white slave trade, and save Dublin from the loathsome silverfish.It's outrageous! (He puts on a black hat. 164]) Mr. Sheriff, put this fellow in the dock in Mountjoy Prison for His Majesty's order.Then hang him, to be sure.May God be merciful and bless your soul.take him away. (A black bonnet[165] is put on Bloom's head. Tall John Fanning, Deputy Sheriff Appears, smoking a pungent Henry Clay.[166]) tall john fanning (with a sullen face and in a loud, round voice) Who's going to hang Judas Iscariot? (Ho Rumbold, Senior Barber, in a blood-red leather waistcoat and a leather-kneader's apron, climbs the gallows with a coil of rope on his shoulders. At his belt are life-saving appliances and A bludgeon full of nails. He rubs his hands bulging from the metal knuckle protectors.) longbold (To the Judge of the Record with startling familiarity) My lord,[168] I am Harry the Hangman, of the Mersey[169].For each hanged person, the reward was five guineas.The neck keeps asking for money.

(Turns to one of the crowd, pleadingly) Hines, can I have a word with you?you know me.You keep the three shillings. [173] If you want more... Hines (Indifferently) You and I are strangers. Patrolman B (points to a corner) Where is the bomb here. Patrol A A terrible ticking time bomb. Bloom no no.It was a pig's foot, and I went to the funeral. Patrol A (Takes up the baton) You lied! (The Beagle lifts the tip of his nose to reveal Paddy Dignam's gray, scurvy face. He has eaten everything. He exhales a stench of carrion. He was human in size and shape. The dark brown fur of the badger dog became a brown shroud. A pair of green eyes flashed murderously. Half of the ear, the entire nose and the thumbs of both hands were eaten The ghoul eats it.) Paddy Dignam (soundingly) That's right.is my funeral.Dr. Finucane[174] issued a death certificate.I died of natural causes due to illness. (He turns his mutilated gray face to the moon, barking sadly.) Bloom (with self-satisfaction) Did you hear that? Paddy Dignam Bloom, I am the ghost of Paddy Dignam.Listen, listen, ah, listen[175]! Bloom This is Esau's voice. [176] Patrolman B (crosses himself) How is this possible? Patrol A Not in the penny Catechism.

(He looks around.) Give me a lamp.I have to satisfy an animal desire.That skim milk is not to my taste. (The burly figure of John O'Connell, cemetery keeper, appears. He holds a bunch of black-veiled keys. Standing beside him is Father Coffey, the teacher, distended like A toad, with a crooked neck, in a white surplice and calico nightcap, leaning drowsily on a stick woven of poppies.) Father Coffey (Yawns and intones in a sombre groan) Nami Nei.Jacob.Biscuits[181].Ah guys. John O'Connell (Shouting through a megaphone like a fog siren) The late Dignam Patrick T.

(He crawls forward slowly like a bug along the coal spout of the underground coal yard, dragging his brown coat on the belt over the pebbles, chattering. A fat mouse:[186] Grandpa staggers It has a pair of mushroom-like tortoise claws and gray carapace. From the ground came Dignam's hoarse moan: "Dignam is dead and buried ’” Tom Rochford, in a crimson waistcoat, breeches, and cap, leaps from his two-column machine.) tom rochford (putting one hand to the breastbone and bowing deeply) That's Reuben Jay.I must get a silver two shilling out of him. (He stares intently at the access hatch.) [187] It's my turn.Follow me to Carlo. [188] (He leaps into the air like a reckless salmon and is sucked into the spout. The two disks on the cylinder wobble like eyes. A pair of zeros are revealed. All vanishes. Bloom trudged on, carrying the sewage. Kisses creaked in the gaps in the dust. There was the sound of a piano. He stopped in front of a lighted house and listened. Kisses spread wings from their hiding places, and soared around him, melodling, chirping, quivering.) public kiss (singing tremulously) Leo! (chirping) Sticky, lick and lick, so tired, chirp, chirp, talk to Leo! (chirping) Coo coo coo!It's delicious, squeaky! (Singing tremblingly) Big, big!Turn and turn!Leopold! (chirping) Leoli! (singing tremulously) Oh, Leo! (Kisses rustle, flutter over his suit, and settle on it in blindingly burnished blotches, silvery tinsels.) Bloom It must have been played by a man.Sad tune.Church music miles.Maybe it's here. (The young courtesan Zoe Higgins[189] in a blue blouse with three bronze buttons and a long black velvet sash around her neck. She nods and runs light and fast down the steps, Seduce him.) Zoe Are you looking for someone?He is inside with his friend. Bloom Is this Mrs. Mac's [190] house? Zoe No, she lives at No. 81.This is Mr. Cohen.The farther you go, the more unlucky you may be.Slipper Slepper old mother[191]. (Affectionately) She's messing with the veterinarian tonight.He was the one who broke the news to her, told her which horses would win, and helped her son study at Oxford.After closing she still received customers.But today she was not lucky. (feeling strange) You are not his father, are you? Bloom I am not! Zoe Both of you are dressed in black.Is the little mouse itchy tonight? (His skin feels keenly the approach of her fingertips. One hand slides along his left thigh.) Zoe How is the ball? Bloom on the other side.It's strange, mine grows on the right side.Presumably the weight is heavier.Messias My Tailor[192] Say, only one in every million people. Zoe (suddenly startled) You've got a chancre. Bloom No way. Zoe I figured it out. (She slips her hand into his left trouser pocket and pulls out a hard, black, shriveled potato. She looks at the potato and Bloom with her moist lips pressed together.) Bloom It's a talisman.family heirloom. Zoe Is it for Zoe?Souvenir?How nice I am to you, eh? (She greedily stuffs the potatoes into her pocket, takes his arm, and hugs him tenderly. He smiles uncomfortably. Oriental music plays slowly, one after another. He stares at her Eyes like tawny crystals with black rims. His smile softens.) Zoe Next time you will be a regular customer. Bloom (sorrowfully) I only need to make out with the lovely antelope once, and I never will... It is the black shadow of a row of cedar trees. A fragrance rises, and the resin emits a rich smell like hair restorer. In the east, the blue sky is burning, and bronze eagles cut through the sky and fly away.

Ladies of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful. [194] Bloom (fascinated) From your pronunciation, I think your family background must be good. Zoe What's on my mind, can you know? (She nibbles at his ear with her small gold-plated teeth, and breathes a rich smell of rotten garlic at him. The cluster of roses splits, revealing the golden foundations of kings and their decayed bones.) Bloom (hesitates, moves awkwardly, caressing her right breast mechanically) Are you a Dublin girl? Zoe (hands a deftly one strand, and gathers it with the rolled-up hair) Don't worry.I'm British.Do you have cigarettes? Bloom (Continuing to caress) I rarely smoke a roll, my dear, and occasionally puff a cigar.To coax the children to play. (lustrously) There's a better use for that cylinder of stinky tobacco in his mouth. Zoe next!Use it to deliver a political speech, Bloom (Wears workmen's corduroy overalls, black wool sweater, a fluttering red tie, and Apache[195] cap.) Humanity is incurable.Sir Walter Raleigh:[196] Potatoes and tobacco were brought back from the New World.The former can destroy the plague by absorption.

Timothy Harrington, who served three terms as mayor of Dublin,[201] wears the mayor's scarlet robe , wearing a gold chain on his chest, wearing a white silk tie, with a dignified appearance, chatting with the temporary agent, Senator Lokan Sherlock. The two nodded frequently, indicating that the agreement has been reached.) former mayor of harrington (In scarlet robes, scepter, mayor's gold chain, and large white silk tie.) Speeches by Sir Leo Bloom, Lord Lord Magistrate, will be printed and paid for by local taxpayers.The house where he was born is adorned with plaques.The passage at the end of Cork Street, formerly known as Cow Paller, will henceforth be called Bloom Street. Senator Lokan Sherlock It passed unanimously. Bloom (passionately) What do these flying Dutchmen or lying Dutchmen care when they recline on the deck of a newly furnished poop and roll the dice?The machine is their watchword, their whim, their panacea.It is a labor-saving device, an expropriator, a goblin, a monstrosity made to kill each other, a monstrosity born of the labor we sell, according to the desires of a bunch of capitalists.The poor are starving.They rear noble stags, indulge in short-sighted ostentation, and use their wealth and power to shoot indiscriminately at farmers and partridges alike.Yet their pirate rule is over, forever, forever, forever...[202] (Prolonged applause.
