Chapter 26 Chapter 15 3

Alexander J. Dovey[288] (in a vehement tone) Christians and anti-Bloomists, this fellow Bloom is from the bottom of hell and disgraceful to Christians.Mendez, the stinking goat,[289] was brought up as a demonic prodigal son, with symptoms of precocious lasciviousness, reminiscent of the towns of the Lowlands[290].And he was hooking up with a loose old woman.This brazen, hypocritical villain is nothing short of the white bull mentioned in the Book of Revelation. [291] He is an admirer of the Scarlet Lady[292].The breath in his nostrils is full of intrigue.The stake and the boiling pan were just where he was going.Caliban [293]!

Mob Lynching him!Burn him alive!He's as bad as Parnell.Mister Fox! [294] (Grandma Grogan throws her boots at Bloom. The owners of the shops above and below Upper Dorset Street throw at him cheap or worthless items: ham bones, tins of condensed milk, Unsalable cabbages, stale bread, sheep tails, and pieces of pork fat.) Bloom (excitedly) It's sunstroke going mad again,[295] making terrible jokes again.I swear to God, I am as white as snow that has not been touched by the sun[296].That's what my brother Henry did.The two of us look exactly alike.He lives at No. 2 Dolphin Barn Lane.Rumor has it that the viper has slandered me. [ 297 ] My fellow citizens, a dull story is like a stagecoach without a horse. [298] I referred to my old friend Dr. Malachi Mulligan, a venereal disease specialist, for my medical evaluation.

Dr Mulligan (in driving jacket and green dust glasses on his brow) Dr. Bloom is a perverted hermaphrodite.He was a recent escape from Dr. Eustace's private asylum for deranged male patients.He has hereditary epilepsy symptoms, which are caused by indulgence.His ancestors were once found to have signs of elephantiasis.The symptoms of chronic exhibitionism are obvious.There is also latent ambidextrous use of the hands.Due to masturbation, he had prematurely retired, and the result was a queer dreamer.He was a reformed libertine with gold teeth.Family conflicts caused him to temporarily lose his memory.I believe he is a man who has not committed much crime, but has been greatly wronged.[299] I have had him fully examined, with acid on the five thousand four hundred and twenty-six hairs of the anus, armpits, chest, and genitals. test.I venture to assert that he was a virgin with an intact hymen[300].

(Bloom covers his genitals with a top hat.) madden[301] doctor High genitourinary deformities were also prominent.For the benefit of future generations, I suggest that the affected part be soaked in alcohol and preserved in the National Museum of Deformation. Dr Crothers I checked the patient's urine.Contains hard protein.Salivation is insufficient and the knee reflex is intermittent. Dr. Punch Costello Jewish smell [302] is also quite prominent. Dr Dixon (Reads medical certificate.) Mr. Bloom is the perfect example of the new feminine man.His character is simple and lovely.Many people thought he was a nice man, a nice guy.On the whole, he was eccentric.From a medical point of view, although he is shy, he is not imbecile.He once wrote a beautifully worded letter, a poem, to the court commissioners of the Reformed Priests' Protection Society, which explained everything.He was literally abstinence from alcohol.I dare say that he slept on a mattress of straw and ate the most modest food—cold, dried peas from the grocery store.Regardless of winter and summer, they wear ponytail wool shirts made in Ireland.Whip yourself every Saturday.I hear he was once the worst boy in Glencree[303].According to another report, he was also a true posthumous child.With the holiest words ever uttered by the vocal organs of man, I beseech him clemency.He is about to have a baby.

(All commotion, unanimous sympathy. Women faint. An American rich man raises money in the streets for Bloom. Gold and silver coins, blank checks, banknotes, gems, bonds, expired Money orders, IOUs, wedding rings, watch chains, lockets, necklaces and bracelets.) Bloom Oh, how I want to be a mother. Mrs. Thornton[204] (in nurse uniform) Hold me tight, honey.It will be over soon.Tightly, dear. (Bloom hugs her tightly and gives birth to eight boys, yellow and white. They appear on the red-carpeted staircase. On the staircase decorated with precious flowers and plants. The octatuplets are all handsome, Faces of precious metal, well-proportioned, well-dressed, dignified manners, fluent in five modern languages, interested in the arts and sciences, each with his name clearly embossed on the front of his shirt: Goldnose [305], Jinzhi, Jinkou[306], Golden Hand[307], Silver Smile, Silver itself[308], Mercury[309], Quanyin[310] They were immediately entrusted with important public offices in several countries, such as President of a bank, manager of railroads, chairman of a corporation, vice-chairman of a restaurant syndicate.)

a voice Bloom, are you the savior Ben Joseph or Ben David[311]? Bloom (darkly) You said so. [312] Brother Butts[ 313] Work miracles, then, like Father Charles did. Bantam Lyons You predict which horse will win at St. Leger's Race. [314] (Bloom paces a web. He shades his left eye with his left ear, crosses all the walls, climbs up Nelson's Column, hooks his eyelids to the top beam, and hangs there. He eats A dozen dozen oysters (with their shells), cured several scrofula patients, frowned in imitation of numerous historical figures: Lord Baconsfield[315], Lord Byron, Walter Taylor[316], Egypt Moses, Moses Maimonides[317], Moses Mendelssohn[318], Henry Owen[319], Rip Van Winkle[320], Kossuth[321], Jean- Jacques Rousseau[322], Baron Leopold Rothschild[323], Robinson Crusoe, Sherlock Holmes, Pasteur[324]. reversed direction, commanded the tide to turn back, stretched out the little finger, and caused a solar eclipse [325].)

A Dead Man's Hand[349] (Written on the wall) Bloom is a fool. Creb[350] (bandit attire) What were you doing in the cow-hole behind Kil'barak? [351] a girl (shaking the rattle drum) And what was done under the Ballybaw Bridge? Holly [353] What about in Devil's Valley[354]? Bloom (Flushing from forehead to buttocks, three tears fall from left eye) Please don't bring up my past. Irish tenants evicted (Wears tights and shorts, and holds an oak club like the one used at the Dunney Creek fair[355].) Give him a rhinoceros whip[356]! (Bloom, with donkey ears,[357] , arms folded, feet outstretched, sits on the altar. He whistles "Tonight with you" from Don Giovanni.[ 358]. The orphans of Altan[359] danced around him holding hands. The girls of the Prison Gate Relief Society[360] also held hands and danced in the opposite direction.)

Orphans of Altan You are a pig, you are a dirty dog! Why do girls fall in love with you! The girls of Prisongate Relief Society If you meet Kay, tell him ok See you at tea, Take this word for me. [361] Hornblower[362] (cloaked in cloak[363] and wearing a hunting cap, declares) He will be guilty of all, and go to Azazel[364] the devil who dwells in the wilderness[364] and to Liris[365] the night monster, , from Agendas Neteim[366] and from Mizraim, the land of Ham,[367] all threw stones at him and humiliated him. (The crowd stone-throws Bloom. Many of the real traveler's bereaved dogs approach him and humiliate him. Maschansky and Citron, in their long, baggy coats, with their long curly hair hanging behind their ears, Comes. They shake their mustaches at Bloom.)

Messias, Bloom's tailor, appears with an iron under his arm and produces a bill.) messias The cost of changing a pair of trousers: eleven shillings. Bloom (rubbing his hands cheerfully) It's still the same.Bloom is penniless! (Reuben J. Dodd, the Blackbeard traitor, the wicked shepherd, approaches the altar with his son's drowned body on his shoulders.) Reuben Jay Dodd (Speaking in a low voice) The matter has been revealed.The spy tipped off the police.As soon as they saw the taxi, they stopped it immediately.

fire brigade Whoooo! Brother Butts (Put Bloom in a yellow robe embroidered with brightly colored flames, and put a tall pointed hat on him. Hang Bloom's neck with a bag of gunpowder, and deliver him to City Council the hands of the authorities, and said:) Pardon his sins[372]. (At the behest of all, Lieutenant Miles[373] of the Dublin City Fire Brigade sets Bloom on fire. There is a groan.) "Citizen" [374] Thank goodness! Bloom (Wearing seamless clothes marked I.HS[375], standing erect in the flames of the phoenix[376]) O daughters of Irene!don't cry for me. [377] (He shows his burns to the Dublin journalists. Eileen's women, dressed in black, with huge prayer books and long lighted candles, kneel to pray.) Erin's daughters Kidney of Bloom, pray for us. [378] Flower of the bath, pray for us.

The potato that wards off disasters and avoids evil spirits, pray for us. (A choir of six hundred, conducted by Mr. Vincent O'Brien[379], with the organ accompaniment of Joseph Green[380], sang "Hallelujah" from the refrain "Messiah" ’ refrain. Bloom falls silent, shrinks, scorches.) Zoe Talk until your face turns black. Bloom He wore an old battered hat with a clay pipe stuck in the strap.Wearing a pair of dusty rawhide suede shoes[381], holding the immigrant's red handkerchief bag, pulling a black peat-colored pig tied with a straw rope, with a smile in his eyes. ) Now let me go, lady, for by some goat on Connemara[382] that beating I've just had was a hell of a deal. (with a tear in her eye) It's all crazy.Whether it is patriotism, mourning the dead, music or the future of the nation.To be or not to be. [383] The dream of life is over.But seek a good death.They can survive. (He looks away mournfully.) I'm done.Take a few pieces of aconite.Pull down the blinds.Leave a letter.Then lie down and rest. (He breathes gently.) That's all.I used to live.went.goodbye. Zoe (Puts fingers in the ribbon around the neck, scowling) Are you telling the truth?Let's talk about it next time. (she sneers) I guess you got out of bed from a different side than you used to,[384] or the girl you're with is too hasty.Oh, I know exactly what you are thinking! Bloom (Painfully) Men and women, making love, what is it?Just a cork and a bottle. [385] Zoe (Buddha makes a fuss) I just hate scoundrels who say what they say and what they mean.You go whoring and wait for sister kiln. Bloom (repentantly) I know I'm a real bore.You are evil, but I can't do without you.Where are you from?London? Zoe (clearly) Hogarth Norton who played the organ even on pigs.I was born in Yorkshire[387]. (She takes his hand which is stroking her breast.) Hello, Tommy Little Mouse.Come on, come up with something more exciting.Do you have enough money with you for a while?Ten shillings? Bloom (smiling, nodding slowly) There's more, Holly[389] , more. Zoe Are there more? (She pats him nonchalantly with her velvety hand.) Are you going into the music room to see our new player piano?Come on, I'll get naked. Bloom (Passing the back of her head hesitantly, bewildered at the shapeliness of her pair of peeled pears like an anxious peddler.) She would be jealous if someone knew Great.A green-eyed demon [391]. (seriously) Needless to say you know how tricky it's going to be. Zoe (flattered) Out of sight, out of mind. (She pats him.) Come on. Bloom Laughing Witch!The hand that pushes the cradle [392]. Zoe Doll! Bloom (Wrapped in swaddling clothes and cloak, large head, black hair like membranes. Large eyes fixed on her dangling petticoat, counting the bronze buttons with fat fingers. He sticks out his wet Tongue, lisp, he said:) One, two, Shan[3], Shan[3], Er[2], Huh[1]. Buttons Love me, don't love me, love me [393]. Zoe Silence means agreeing. (Strikes little finger, grabs his hand, pokes his palm with tip of forefinger, whispers to him,[394] lures him to destruction.) Hot hand proves cold inside. (He hesitates among scents and music and seduction. She leads him to the steps, drawing him in with the smell of her underarms, the charm of her eyeliner eyes and the rustle of her dress, ruffled The pleats still carry the lion-like stench of all the beasts that have possessed her.) Beasts (Smells of rut, feces, and sulfur, rampages around the feedlot, growling under his breath, shaking his drugged head.) Delicious! (Zoe and Bloom come to the door where two sister whores are sitting. They draw their eyebrows and look up at him curiously. He makes a hasty bow and they smile back. He almost falls in embarrassment.) fall.) Zoe (Fortunately, she immediately put out a hand to support him.) Oh!Don't fall upstairs. [395] Bloom An upright person can fall seven somersaults. (He makes way at the door.) According to the rules, you go first. Zoe The lady goes first, and the gentleman follows. (She steps over the threshold. He hesitates. She turns and pulls him in with both hands. He jumps in. On the multi-pronged antler coat rack in the foyer hangs a man's hat and a Raincoat. Bloom took off his hat, but at the first glance, he frowned and smiled. A door on the landing slammed open. A man in a purple shirt, gray trousers and brown socks walked like a monkey. He walked past with a bald head and a goatee, clutching a full water jug, his black braces hanging down to his heels. Bloom turned away quickly, bent down, and looked at the The stuffed fox on the table in the foyer: it was running, with eyes like a lop-eared dog. Then he raised his head and sniffed, and followed Zoe into the music room. Red-purple The light of the chandelier was dimmed by a thin paper cover. A moth was flying around it, scrambling to escape. The floor was covered with a mosaic of emerald, sky blue and scarlet. Patterned oilcloth, covered with footprints of all kinds: heel on heel, heel on sole, toe on toe, crossed feet, and disembodied ghosts shuffling their feet doing a Morris dance. The pattern of wallpaper pasted on the four walls is: yew and bright forest paths. A screen with peacock feathers is unfolded in front of the fireplace lattice. on the hearth rug. He beat the time slowly with a thin stick. Kitty Ricketts, a bony, pale whore in a navy suit, turned her buckskin gloves over to reveal coral bracelets. She is holding a twist-shaped handbag, sitting high on the edge of the table, swinging one leg, looking at the gilded mirror above the mantelpiece, looking at herself with pity. A little bit of hanging corset is slightly exposed under her blouse. Spike. Lynch mockingly pointed to a man and a woman sitting across from the piano.) kitty (puts hands over mouth, coughs.) She's kind of goofy. (She gesticulates with her index finger.) Boo, boo, boo. (Lynch picks up her skirt and white petticoat with his thin stick. She hastily pulls it back.) Be disciplined. (She belches, then hastily lowers her sailor hat, her henna-dyed hair glistening under the brim.) Oh, sorry! Zoe Brighten it up, Charlie. (She goes to the chandelier and turns the gas switch all the way.) kitty (looks at the gas flame) What's the matter to-night? Lynch (in a low voice) Enter the undead and monsters. Zoe Give Zoe a pat on the back. (Lynch shakes the thin stick in his hand: it is a brass poker. Stephen stands by the player piano, on which his hat and ash cane are littered. He repeats with two fingers Empty fifths[396]. Florie Talbot, a frail, goose-fat blond whore in musty strawberry-coloured rags, sprawled in a corner of a sofa, with a Forearms slumped from bolsters, listening. Sleepy eyelids with bad stye.) kitty (hiccups again and kicks with his dangling foot) Oh, sorry! Zoe (Quickly speaking) Your sweetheart is thinking about you.Fasten the undershirt straps. (Kitty Ricketts lowers her head. Her round fur boa unwinds and slithers down shoulders, back, arms, chair, all the way to the floor. Lynch picks with the thin stick in his hand. Picking up the curly caterpillar. She twists her neck in a bird-like way. Stephen turns his head and glances at the cross-legged figure with the cap on its back.) stephen In fact, it does not matter whether Benedicto Marchello[397] discovered it or he composed it.The ceremony is the poet's rest.It may be an old hymn to Demeter,[398], or a tune to "The heavens proclaim the glory of God"[399].Its syllables or scales may be quite different, as is the difference between a higher Phrygian mode and a mixed Lydian [400] mode.The words may also be quite different, as around the altar of David—no, Kergi[401], what am I talking about, I mean Ceres[402]—by the priests uttering The uproar is not the same as those words about the omnipotence of God which David had taken from the stable and told to the chief bassoonist[403].Oh, to be honest, these are completely different things.Do ridiculous things while you are young. Youth is gone forever. [404] (He stops, points to Lynch's cap, smiles, then laughs.) Where's your brain tumor? cap (gloomily) Pooh!Because of that.This is the fallacy of women and Taoists.Jewish Greeks are Greek Jews.Extremes must be reversed.Death is the highest form of life.never mind stephen All my mistakes, conceits, mistakes, you remember quite accurately.How long will I continue to close my eyes to your disloyalty?Sharpening stone [405]! cap Why! stephen I still have something to tell you. (He frowned.) The reason is that the fundamental and the diatonic fifth are separated by the maximum interval [406], which... cap it?Finished.You can't say enough. stephen (Struggling to speak) The intervals are separated, it is the greatest omission.The two poles are connected.Octave.it. cap it? (Outside, the gramophone blares "The Holy City" [407].) stephen (abruptly) Trekking to the end of the world in order not to travel[408] from within the self.God, the sun, Shakespeare[409], the salesman, have traveled all over reality before they can become themselves.Wait a minute.wait a minute.That guy in the street shouting[410] damn it.It was pre-arranged that it would inevitably be like this.look! [411] Lynch (With a whimpering jeer, grinning at Bloom and Zoe Higgins.) What an eloquent speech, eh? Zoe (bitterly) Your head is empty, he knows more than you forget. (Florie Talbot looks at Stephen fat and stupid.) Flory People say that the end of the world[412] will come this summer. Kitty Will not. Zoe (laughs loudly) The great God is so unfair! Flory (displeased) Well, it was mentioned when the false Christ[413] was published in the newspaper.Oh, my feet are so itchy. (The ragged, barefoot newsboy, flying a kite with its tail wagging[414], clatters past, shouting loudly.) Newsboys latest news.The results of the rocking horse race are out.A sea serpent appeared in the Royal Canal[415].The Antichrist arrived safely. (Stephen turns away and catches a glimpse of Bloom.) stephen One-time, multiple-time and half-time.

[421] (The planets disintegrate into flimsy balloons, swell and fly away. He leaps into the void and disappears.) Flory (At a loss, crossing himself quietly again and again.) The end of the world is here! (A feminine stench emanates from her. The nebula is hazy all around. Through the fog that floats outside, the roar of the gramophone drowns out the coughing and the scuffing of footsteps.) phonograph Jerusalem!

He thumps on the railing.)

(In the conical beam of the searchlight projected behind the coal scuttle, Manannan McLear rests his chin on his knees and muses.[454] He has the eyes of a saint, and his Olaf-like face is unshaven Yes. He rose slowly. From his druid-like mouth came the brisk sea breeze, and eels and eels writhed about his head. He was covered with seaweed and shells .The right hand holds a bicycle[456] pump. The left hand holds the claws of a gigantic crayfish.) Manannan McLear (with a wavy sound) Oh!Hey!Wow!Ah Ka!Lubu!Mo!Well!

(Zoe runs to the chandelier, bends one leg, and straightens the shade.) Zoe Who will give me a cigarette? Lynch (lightly throws a cigarette on the table) Here it is. Zoe (tilts head with feigned arrogance) How can you pass something like that to a lady? (She unhurriedly twists the cigarette and leans over to light it at the flame, revealing the tuft of brown hair in her armpits. Lynch boldly lifts up the half of her dress with the poker. Above the garter The naked flesh, under the cover of the sky blue dress, showed the green of the water fairy. She was puffing smoke peacefully.) Did you see the beauty spot on the back of my ass? Lynch I'm not watching. Zoe (looks at me) Didn't you see it?Just looking at it is not enough.Would you like to sip a lemon? (She puts on an air of shyness, squinting at Bloom, turns towards him, and yanks away the slip of the dress caught by the poker. A splotch of sky-blue liquid flows over her again. Bloom stands There, smiling greedily in her eyes, twiddling her thumbs, Kitty Ricketts licking her middle finger with spittle, smoothing her brows in the mirror, Liberty Virag, the royal clerk, walked along the fireplace The flue of the chimney slid down nimbly, and he took two struts to the left on rough pink stilts. He was wrapped tightly in several cloaks and a brown tape raincoat. Scroll of parchment. Over the left eye the glittering monocle of Cashel Boyle O'Connell Fitzmaurice Tisdale Farrell.[463] On his head the double crown of Egypt [464]. Two quills protrude from the ears.) Virag (Heels together, bows) My name is Virag Liberti, from Szombathely. [465] (He coughs thoughtfully a few times.) There's a mix of men and women here, naked, everywhere, eh?I caught a glimpse of her rear, which means she's not wearing your favorite lingerie.I hope you've seen the injection marks on her thigh, eh?Ok. Bloom Grandpa [466].But…… Virag On the other hand, the second girl, who wore cherry red lipstick, a white headdress, and a lot of our Jewish traditional arborvitae[467] ecstasy on her hair, was wearing a walking dress.Judging by the way she was sitting, her bra must have been tight.It can also be said that the spine has fallen to the front.If I'm wrong, please point it out.But I've always thought that those flirtatious women give you a glimpse of underwear.The performance of this kind of lower body exhibitionist is exactly what you like.一句话，是半鹰半马的怪兽[468]。我说得对吗， Bloom 她太瘦啦。 维拉格 （不无愉快地）正是这样！观察得很细。裙子上撑出两个兜儿，略作陀螺形，是为了让屁股显得格外丰满。想必是刚从专门敲诈的大甩卖摊子上买的。钱也是从哪个冤大头手里骗来的。那是用来糊弄人的俗不可耐的玩艺儿。瞧她们怎样留意细小的斑点。今天能穿的，决不要拖到明天。视差！（神经质地扭动一下脑袋）你听见我的头卡嗒一声响了吗？多音节的绕嘴词！[469] Bloom （手托臂肘，食指杵着面颊）她好像挺悲哀的。 维拉格 （讥消地，龇着鼬鼠般的黄板牙，用手指翻开左眼皮，扯着嘶哑的嗓音吼叫）骗子！当心这轻佻丫头和她假装出的悲伤。巷子里的百合[470] 。人人都有鲁亚尔杜斯·科隆博所发现的矢车菊。压翻她。[471] 让她变得像只鸽子。水性杨花的女人。（口吻温和了一些）喏，请你注意第三位吧。她的大部分身于都展现在眼前。仔细观察她脑壳上那簇用氧处理过的植物质吧。嗨哟，她撞着了[472] 。长腿大屁股，伙伴中的丑小鸭。 Bloom （懊悔不迭）偏偏我没带枪出来。 维拉格 不论是什么号的——宽松的，中等的，紧的，都能提供。只要出钱，随便挑。哪一个都能使你快乐[473] …… Bloom 哪一个……？ 维拉格 （卷着舌头）利姆！[ 474] ）瞧，她可真丰满，浑身长了好厚的一层脂肪。从胸脯的份量看，她显然是个哺乳动物。你能看到她身子前面突出两个尺寸可观的大肉疙瘩，大得几乎垂进午饭的汤盆里。背后下身也有两个隆起的东西，看来直肠必是结实的。那两个鼓包摸着会给人以快感，唯一的美中不足是不够紧。注意保养就能使这个部位的肉厚实。要是关起来喂，肝脏就会长得像象那么大[475] 。把掺了胡芦巴[476] 和安息香的新鲜面包搓成小丸，浸泡在一剂绿茶里吞服，就能在短暂的一生中，自自然然长出一身肥膘，活像是个球形针插。这样该中你的意了吧，呃？使人馋涎欲滴的热腾腾的埃及肉锅[477] 。尽情享受吧。石松粉[ 478] 。（他的喉咙抽搐着。）恰好，他又干起来啦。[479] Bloom 我讨厌麦粒肿。 维拉格 （扬扬眉毛）他们说，用金戒指碰一下就好了。[480] 利用女性的弱点来辩论[481]这是旧日时罗马和古代希腊的狄普罗多库斯和伊赤泰欧扫罗斯[482] 担任执政官时所说的。此外，单靠夏娃的灵药就够了。非卖品。只供租借。胡格诺派[483] 。（抽动一下喉咙）好古怪的声音。（像是为了振作起来般地咳嗽）然而，这也许只不过是个瘊子。我想你还记得我曾经教过你的一个处方吧？小麦粉里掺上蜂蜜和肉豆蔲。 Bloom （仔细琢磨）小麦粉里搀上石松粉和希拉巴克斯[484] 。这可是个严峻的考验啊。 今天是个格外劳累的日子，一连串的灾难。且慢，我的意思是，您说过，瘊子血能使瘊子传播开来。 ... 维拉格 （鹰钩鼻子，眨巴着眼睛，严厉地）别再摆弄你那大拇指了，好好想想吧。瞧，你已经忘记了。运用一下你的记忆术吧。Career is sacred.咯啦。嗒啦[485]。 （旁白）他准会想起来的。 Bloom 记得您提到过迷迭香和抑制寄生组织的意志力的事。那么，不，不，我想起来啦。让死者的手摸一下就能痊愈。remember? 维拉格 （兴奋地）可不是嘛。is not it.Exactly so.记忆术。 （使劲拍打他那个羊皮纸书卷）此书详尽地告诉你该怎样处置。查查索引吧。用附子来治错乱性恐怖，用盐酸来治忧郁症，用白头翁来炼制春药。下面维拉格还要谈谈截肢术。我们的老友腐蚀剂。对瘊子要采取饥饿疗法。等它于瘪成空壳之后，用马鬃齐根勒掉。然而把论点移到保加利亚人和巴斯克人身上。关于喜不喜欢女扮男装，你究竟拿定主意了没有？ [486]（干涩地窃笑）你曾打算花上一整年的时间来研究宗教问题。一八八六年夏季，你曾试图绘制一幅与圆形面积相等的正方形[487]，赢得那一百万英镑。石榴[488]！崇高和荒谬只有一步之差。 [489]比方说，睡衣睡裤。或者垫有三角形布料的针织扎口死裆短裤？要么就是那种复杂的混合物——连裤女衬衣？ （他嘲弄般地学鸡叫。）咯、咯尔、咯！ （布卢姆迟迟疑疑地环顾三名妓女，然后又盯着蒙了罩子的红紫色灯光，听着那飞个不停的蛾声。） Bloom 那么现在就该做出结论了。睡衣是从来也不。所以是这个样儿。不过，明天将是新的一天。过去曾经是今日。因此，到了明天，现在也会成为过去的昨天。 维拉格 （像是提词般地低声私语）蜉蝣在不断地交媾中度过短暂的一生。雌性的体态虽逊于雄性，背后那外阴部却是精美绝伦的，它被其气味所引诱。美丽的鹦鹉！ [490] （他那鹦鹉的黄嘴用鼻音急促不清他说着）犹太历五五五0 年前后，喀尔巴阡山脉[491] 有过一句谚语。一大调羹蜂蜜要比六桶最高级的麦芽醋更能吸引熊先生。熊直哼哼，蜜蜂嫌吵。Wait a minute.这容别的时候再接着说吧。我们这些局外人很高兴。 （他咳嗽一声，低下头，用掏挖的手势若有所思地搓着鼻子）你会发现这些夜虫总是跟踪着灯光。这是错觉。要记住，它们长着无法调节的复眼。关于这些棘手的论点，可参看我著的《性科学原理，或爱的情欲》第十七卷。利·布·博士说，这是本年度最为轰动的一部书。举例来说，有些人的动作是自发的。深入领会。那是适合于他的太阳。夜鸟，夜阳，夜镇。追我吧，查理！ （他朝布卢姆的耳朵嚷。）嗡嗡！ Bloom 那天不知是蜜蜂还是青蝇，撞着了墙上的影子，撞晕了。于是迷迷糊糊地冲进了我的衬衫，害得我好苦…… 维拉格 （面无表情，以圆润、女声女气的腔调笑着）妙极了！他的裤裆里藏着斑蟊，或者阴茎上贴着芥未软膏。（晃动着颈上那火鸡般的垂肉，并像火鸡似的贪婪地咯咯叫着）火鸡！火鸡！咱们说到哪儿来着？芝麻，开门！[492] 出来吧！（他麻利地打开那个羊皮纸书卷，读起来。他牢牢抓住书卷，萤火虫般的鼻于沿那文字倒着迅速地移动。[493]）且慢，好朋友，我给你带来了答案。咱们很快就能吃上红沙洲的牡蛎[494]了。我是手艺最高的厨师。这种有滋味的双壳贝对身体有好处，让无所不吃的猪先生去挖掘佩里戈尔[495]的块菌，那对神经衰弱和悍妇炎患者有着奇效。尽管发臭，却富于刺激性。（摇头晃脑，尖声讥笑着）滑稽啊。眼睛里塞进单片眼镜。[496] （他打了个喷嚏。）啊们！ Bloom （心不在焉地）妇女患的双壳贝病更厉害。什么时候都是开着的芝麻[497] 。裂开的女性[498] 。所以她们害怕虫子啦，爬虫动物什么的。然而夏娃和蛇却不然。这并不是史实吧。依我看，显然是以此类推。蛇对女人的奶也贪得无厌。它们从包罗万象的森林里婉蜒爬行好几英里前来，吱吱地把她的乳房吮干。就像在艾里芳图利亚里斯[499] 的作品中所读到的那些雄火鸡般滑稽的罗马婆娘似的。 维拉格 （嘴上吸出深深的皱纹，两眼像石头般绝望地紧闭着，以异国情调。用单音咏诵圣歌。）那些乳房胀鼓鼓的母牛，它们四远驰名…… Bloom 我想要大声喊叫。please forgive.Oh?那么，（他重复一遍。）主动地去找到蜥蜴窝，以便供其贪婪地吸吮自己的乳房。蚂蚁吸蚜虫的奶水。 （意味深长地）本能支配着世界。 [500]不论生前，还是死后。 维拉格 （歪着头，脊背与隆起如翼状的肩膀，弯作弓形，鼓起昏花的两眼凝视着蛾，用触角股的指头指指点点，喊叫。）谁是蛾，蛾？谁是亲爱的杰拉尔德[501] ？亲爱的杰，是你吗？哦，哎呀，他就是杰拉尔德。哦，我非常担心他会被严重地烧伤。有人肯摇摇高级餐巾来防止这场灾难吗？（学猫叫）猫咪猫咪猫咪猫咪！（他叹口气，朝后退，下颚低垂，朝两旁斜晚着。）好的，好的。这家伙等下就会安静下来的。（望空猛地咬了一口。） moth 我是个小小东西， 永远翱翔在春季， 兜着圈子且嬉戏。 想当年，我曾登基， 到如今展开双翼， 天地间飞来飞去！ boom! （他冲向红紫色灯罩，喧噪地拍着翅膀。）漂亮、漂亮、漂亮、漂亮、漂亮、漂亮的衬裙。 （亨利·弗罗尔从左首上端的入口登场。他溜着脚步悄悄走了两步，来到左前方中央。他披着深色斗篷，头戴一顶垂着羽毛饰的墨西哥宽边帽。手执一把嵌了花纹的银弦大扬琴和一支有着长竹管的雅各烟斗[502] ，陶制的烟袋锅作女头状。他穿着深色天鹅绒紧身裤，浅口无带轻舞鞋有着银质饰扣。他的脸像是一位充满浪漫主义色彩的救世主，鬈发飘垂、胡子和口髭稀稀疏疏。一双细长的腿和麻雀脚活脱儿像是男高音歌手坎迪亚亲王马里奥[503]。 他理了理皱领的褶子，伸出好色的舌头舔湿了嘴唇。） Henry （一面拨弄吉他琴弦，一面以低沉动听的嗓音唱道）有一朵盛开的花[504]。 （蛮横的维拉格收拢起下巴，盯着灯。庄重的布卢姆端详着佐伊的脖颈。风流的亨利颈部的肉耷拉着，转向钢琴。） stephen （自言自语）闭上眼睛弹琴吧，学爸爸的样儿。把我的肚子填满猪食。这已经够受的了。我要起身，回到我的[505]。想必这就是。斯蒂夫，你可陷入了窘境。得去看望老迪希，要么就给他打个电报。我们今天早晨的会见给我留下了深刻的印象。尽管我们的年龄。明天我将尽情地写出来。说起来，我真有点儿醉啦。 （他又碰一下键盘。）这一次是小三和弦。Yes.醉得还不厉害。 （阿尔米达诺·阿尔蒂弗尼一边精神抖擞地抨着口鹿，一边伸出用乐谱卷成的指挥棒。） 阿尔蒂弗尼 好好考虑一下吧。你毁掉了一切。[506] 弗洛莉 给咱唱点什么吧。《古老甜蜜的情歌》。[ 507] stephen 没有嗓子。我是个最有才能的艺术家。林奇，我给你看过关于古琵琶[508] 的那封信了吗？ 弗洛莉 （假笑）一只会唱可是不肯唱的鸟儿呗。 （在牛津大学做特别研究员的一对连体双胞胎：醉汉菲利普和清醒菲利普[509] 拿着推草机出现在漏斗状斜面墙上的窗口。两个人都戴着马修·阿诺德[510]的假面具。） 清醒菲利普 接受一个傻子的忠告吧。有点不对头。用铅笔头数数看，像个乖乖的小傻瓜那样。你有三镑十二先令。两张纸币，一英镑的金币，两克朗。倘若年轻人有经验。 [511] 城里的穆尼酒馆，海岸上的穆尼，莫伊拉那一家，拉切特那一家，[512] 霍尔街医院，伯克[513]。Uh?我在盯着你哪。 醉汉菲利普 （不耐烦地）啊，瞎说，你这家伙。Go to hell!I have never been in debt.我要是能够弄明白八音度是怎么回事就好了。双重人格。是谁把他的名字告诉我的呢？ （他的推草机开始嗡嗡地响起来。）啊哈，对啦。我的在命，我爱你。 [514] 我觉得先前到这儿来过。是什么时候来着？他不姓阿特金森[515] ，我有他的名片，不知放在哪儿啦。叫作麦克什么的。想起来了，叫昂马克。他跟我谈起过——且慢，是斯温伯恩[516]吧，对吗？ 弗洛莉 那么，歌儿呢？ stephen 心灵固然愿意，肉体却是软弱的。[ 517] 弗洛莉 你是梅努斯毕业的吗？你跟我过去认识的一个人长得可像哩。 stephen 如今已经毕业啦。（自言自语）脑袋瓜儿挺灵。 醉汉菲利普与清醒菲利普 （他们的推草机嗡嗡响着，草茎随之轻快地跳跃起来。）脑袋瓜儿一向挺灵。已经毕业啦，已经毕业啦。顺便问一声，你可有那本书，那玩艺儿，那根梣木手杖吗？对，就在那儿。脑袋瓜儿一向挺灵，如今已经毕业了。要保持下去。像我们这样。 Zoe 前天晚上有个教士到这儿来办点事。他把上衣钮扣扣得严严实实的。我对他说，你用不着那么躲躲闪闪的。我认得出你那脖领是天主教教士的。 维拉格 从他的角度来说，这完全是理所当然的。人的堕落。（愤怒地瞪大眼睛，厉声地）让教皇下地狱去！太阳底下没有新鲜事。[518] 我就是曾经揭露出僧侣与处女的性之秘密的那个维拉格。因此，我脱离了罗马教会。读读那本《神父、女人与忏悔阁子》[519] 吧。彭罗斯[520] 。弗力勃铁·捷贝待[521]。（他扭动身子。）女人带着甜蜜的羞涩解开灯心草编的腰带，将湿透了的阴部献给男子的阳物。少顷，男子赠与女人丛林之中的几片兽肉。女悦，以带羽之皮遮身。男人用大而硬的阳物热烈爱抚女人之阴部。（他大喊。）我是被迫首肯的。[522] 于是，轻浮的女人四处乱跑。强壮的男人抓住女人的手脖子。女人尖声呼叫，又咬又啐[ 523]。此刻，男人怒气冲天，揍女人那肥胖的臀部[524]。（他追逐自己的屁股。）唏噼！啵啵！（他停下脚步，打喷嚏。）哈哧！（他咬住自己的屁股，晃悠着。）噗噜噜！ Lynch 我希望你让那位好神父用苦行来赎罪。飞个主教[525]，就要罚他念九遍《荣耀颂》。 Zoe （从鼻孔中喷出海象般的烟雾）他根本搞不了。你知道，仅仅兴奋一阵。干巴巴地摩擦一通罢了。 Bloom 可怜的人哪！ Zoe （满不在意地）他就能这样嘛。 Bloom 怎样呢？ 维拉格 （龇牙咧嘴，冒出恶魔般的黑光，歪扭着脸，朝前伸着骨瘦如柴的脖子。他仰起妖精[526] 般的鼻子眼，怒吼。）可恶的基督教徒们！[527] 他有个父亲，四十个父亲[528] 。他从来也没存在过。猪神！他长着两只左脚[529] 。他是犹大·伊阿其阿[530] ，一个利比亚的宦官，教皇的私生子。（他身倚扭曲了的前爪，僵硬地弯着臂，扁平的骷髅脖颈上端是一双神色痛苦的眼睛，朝沉默的世界叫喊。）婊子的儿子。《启示录》。 吉蒂 玛丽·肖特尔被蓝帽[531] 吉米·皮金传染上了梅毒，住进了花柳病医院。她还跟那家伙生了个娃娃，连奶都不会咽。因惊风在被窝里憋死了。我们大家捐钱，给办的葬事。 醉汉菲利普 （严肃地）谁使你落到这步田地的呢，菲利普？[532] 清醒菲利普 （快活地）是由于神圣的鸽子，菲利普[533] 。 （吉蒂摘下帽子上的饰针，安详地把帽子撂下，拍了拍她那用散沫花染过的头发。从没见过一个娼妓肩上披散着这么一头秀美漂亮、光艳动人的鬈发呢。林奇把她的帽子戴在自己的头上。她把它扒拉下去。） Lynch （笑）令人高兴的是，梅奇尼科夫[534] 在类人猴身上接了种。 弗洛莉 （点头）运动机能失调了。 Zoe （快活地）哦，我得翻翻字典。 Lynch 三位聪明的处女[535] 。 维拉格 （因疟疾犯了打起冷颤，喷出大量的淡黄色鱼卵。他那皮包骨的患癫痫的嘴唇上冒着泡。）她贩卖春药、白蜡、香橙花。一个名叫“豹”的罗马百人队长[536]用自己的生殖器把她玷污了。（他手按在胯间，伸出闪烁着光的蝎子般的舌头。）救世主啊！他弄破了她的膜[537] 。（他叽叽喳喳地发出狒狒的叫声，玩世不恭地抽搐着，扭动着屁股。）嘻咳！嘿咳！哈咳！嗬咳！呼咳！喀咳！咕咳！ （本·大象·多拉德走向前来。他生得红脸膛，肌肉僵硬，鼻孔里毛茸茸的，大胡子，白菜耳朵，胸脯多毛，头发蓬乱，奶头肥大。腰部和生殖器紧紧地箍在黑色的游泳裤里。） 本·多拉德 （肥胖的大手奏着骨制响板，愉快地用约德尔唱法发出低沉的桶音）。当狂恋使我神魂颠倒之际。 （两个处女——卡伦护士与奎格利护士猛地冲过竞技场的管理员和拦绳，张开双臂朝他扑来。） 处女们 （极度热情地）大本钟！本，我的心肝儿[538] ！ 一个声音 抓住那个穿不像样子的裤子的家伙。 本·多拉德 （拍着大腿哈哈大笑）马上把他抓住。 Henry （怀里抱着一具砍下来的女头，边爱抚着边喃喃自语）你的心，我的爱。（拨弄着古琵琶弦）当我初见……[539] 维拉格 （蜕皮，大量羽毛脱落下来）混蛋！ （他打个哈欠，露出漆黑的喉咙，用羊皮书卷卷成的圆筒朝上一顶，闭上口腔。）说完这些，我就告辞了。goodbye.多多保重。Shit! [540] （亨利·弗罗尔用随身携带的梳子迅速地梳理口髭和胡于，并蘸着唾沫抹平头发。他用长剑掌舵，疾步向门口走去，背后挎着荒腔走调的竖琴。[541] 维拉格翘起尾巴，像踩高跷般笨拙地跳了两下，来到门边。他熟练地在墙上斜贴了一张黄脓液色的传单，用头顶着按紧。） leaflet 吉·11。禁止招贴。Strictly confidential.亨利·弗兰克斯大夫：[542] 。 Henry 现在一切都失去啦。[543] （维拉格转瞬间取下螺丝，摘掉自己的头，夹在腋下。） 维拉格的头 quack! （二人分别退场。） stephen （侧过头来对佐伊说）你大概会更喜欢创立了新教异端邪说的那个好斗的牧师[544] 吧。但是要当心犬儒学派的安提西尼[545]和异教祖师爷阿里乌的最后下场。在厕所里所受的死的痛苦。[546] Lynch 对她来说，是同一个神。 stephen （虔诚地）而且是支配万物的至高无上的主。 弗洛莉 （对斯蒂芬）你准是个酒肉神父。要么就是个修士。 Lynch is not it.一位红衣主教的儿子。 stephen 犯了大罪[547] 。不守清规的修士们[548] 。 （全爱尔兰首席红衣主教、西蒙·斯蒂芬·迪达勒斯大人在门口出现。他身着红色法衣、短袜便鞋。担任助祭的小人猿——即七样大罪，也穿红衣，捧着他的衣裾，从下面窥伺。他头上歪戴着一顶压扁了的大礼帽。他张开手掌，把大拇指戳在腋窝里，脖子上挂着一串软木塞制成的念珠，末端是一把十字架形的螺丝锥，垂在胸前。他撒开大拇指，从高处以波浪状大摇大摆的姿势祈求神灵保佑，并趾高气扬、装模作样地宣告。） 红衣主教 康瑟维奥陷囹囿， 躺在地牢深又深， 手铐脚镣戴在身， 重量又何止三吨。 [549] （他右眼紧闭，鼓起左颊，朝众人望了片刻。然后抑制不住内心的快乐，就双手叉腰，浑身晃来晃去，嘻嘻哈哈地畅怀唱着。） 噢，可怜的小东西， 它、它的脚那么黄， 蹿动如蛇身宽胖， 可该死的野蛮人， 为了给白菜添油荤， 竟把内莉·弗莱厄蒂的爱鸭屠宰[550] 。 （大群小虫白糊糊地簇拥在他的法衣上。他交抱着胳膊，抓挠着双肋，愁眉苦脸地叫唤。） 我正在受着被打入地狱的苦难。凭着这把廉价的提琴发誓，感谢耶稣，这帮可笑的小家伙还没有一起出动。不然的话，它们就会使我离开这该死的地球啦。 （他歪着头，用食指和中指敷敷衍衍地祝福众人，并给予复活节的亲吻。他边来回晃动着帽子，边拖着滑稽的双舞步溜走。转瞬间他的个子就缩到捧衣裾者那么小了。那些助祭的侏儒哧哧地笑着，窥伺着，用肘轻捅着，挤眉弄眼，或给予复活节之吻，跟在他后面走成“之”字形。从远处传来他那圆润嗓音，慈祥而充满阳刚之气，优美动听。） 把我的心带给你， 把我的心带给你， 馨香微风夜飘溢， 把我的心带给你！[551] （魔门的把手转了一下。） door handle 吱咿——！ Zoe 门里有魔鬼。 （一个男子的身影走下咯吱作响的楼梯。传来他从挂钩上取下雨衣和帽子的声音。布卢姆不由自主地冲向前，顺便把门半掩上，从兜里掏出巧克力，怯生生地朝佐伊递过去。） Zoe （起劲地嗅他的头发）唔！谢谢你母亲送给我的兔子。我喜欢什么东西，简直就着了迷。 Bloom （听见一个男人在门阶上同妓女们交谈的声音，便竖起两耳。）假若是他呢？干完了吗？要么是没搞？要么就是吃回头草？ Zoe （撒开银纸）没有叉子以前就有指头了。（她掰下一截，啃起来，递给吉蒂·里凯茨一截，又像只小猫咪似的转向林奇。）不讨厌法国菱形糖果吧？（他点点头。她吊他的胃口）。是现在要，还是等把它弄到手呢？（他扬起头，张开嘴。她把奖赏朝左边转，他的头跟着转过去。她又把它朝右边转过来。他盯着她。）接住！ （她抛起一截巧克力。他敏捷地叼住它，嘎吱一声咬下一块。） 吉蒂 （咀嚼着）在义卖会[ 552] 上跟我在一道的那位工程师有好吃的巧克力。里面满是高级甜露酒。总督也带着夫人去啦[553] 。我们骑上托夫特的旋转木马，好开心哪。至今我还发晕呢。 Bloom （身穿斯文加利[ 554] 式的皮大衣，交抱双肘，前额上垂着拿破仑式鬈发。他双眉紧皱，念着腹语术的驱邪咒文，用老鹰般锐利的目光凝视着门。然后僵直地迈出左脚，右臂顺着左肩滑下来，用咄咄逼人的指头在空中迅速地一划，做了老练的师傅[555] 的暗号。）不管你是谁，我借着法术命令你：走，走，走！ （穿过外面的雾，传来一个男子边咳嗽边逐渐走远的脚步声。布卢姆的表情变得松弛了。他一只手插迸背心，安详地摆好姿势。佐伊将巧克力朝他递过去。）
