Chapter 27 Chapter 15 4

Bloom (seriously) Thank you. Zoe Do whatever you are told to do.Give! (There is the sound of firm footsteps on the stairs.) Bloom (takes chocolate) Is it an aphrodisiac?Tansy and mint.But this is what I bought.Is vanilla a tranquilizer, or is it?Can improve memory.The light is chaotic, and even the memory is chaotic.Red is effective against lupus. [ 556 ] Color can shape a woman's character, if she has one.This black makes me sad.For tomorrow, eat, drink and be merry. [557] (He eats.) Lavender also has an effect on taste.But it's been so long since I.So feel so fresh.spring.the priest.will come.Better late than never.I'll try truffles at Andrews. [558]

(The door opens. In comes Bella Cohen, a large madam. She wears a half-length ivory gown with tassels on the hem. Fanned like Minnie Hauke ​​in A fan with a black horn handle to cool off. Wearing a wedding ring and retainer on her left hand. Eyeliner is heavily drawn. She has a light mustache and a thick, slightly sweaty olive face. Big nose , nose, is orange. She wears a big green jade pendant.) Bella Oops!I was sweating badly. (She looks around at the couples. Then the daylight settles on Bloom, gazing at him intently. The big fan in her hand is kept on her hot face, neck, and rich body Fanning. Her hawk-like eyes shone sharply.)

fan (Swipe [560] quickly at first, then slowly.) Oh, married. Bloom Yes.Not quite, by mistake... fan (Opens half first, then closes it and says) My wife is in charge of the house.Lady ruled. Bloom (Drops eyes and grins timidly) Really. fan (folds up, holding her left earring) Have you forgotten me? city ​​lum No.Oh. [561] fan (Closing, leaning against the waist) Is she the one you dreamed about before, is it me?So, was she and him after you met us?Am I all women now, the same woman again? (Bella comes up and pats the fan lightly.) Bloom (recoils) Great man.She saw that sleepiness in my eyes, that's what fascinates women. [562]

fan (Patting lightly) We met.you are mine.This is fate. Bloom (frightened away) Vigorous woman.I long so much to be ruled by you.I am exhausted, disheartened, and no longer young.I seem to be holding an undelivered letter, with a special postage [563] affixed according to regulations, standing in front of the late mail box set up by the General Post Office of life.According to the law of falling objects, opening the doors and windows at right angles results in a draft of thirty-two feet per second.Right now I feel sciatica in my left glute.This is the heritage of our family.Poor dear papa, a widower who can predict the weather when he is sick.He believes that animals keep warm.The vest he wears in winter is lined with tabby fur.When he was about to die, he remembered the story of King David and Shu Nian[564], and slept with Athos.The dog remained loyal to him even after his death.Dog spittle, you probably[565] ... (he flinches) Ah!

Rich Goulding (Passing by the door with a heavy bag of documents) Make the fake come true.Arguably the most affordable in Dublin.Enough to entertain a prince. [566] Liver and kidney. fan (Patting lightly) Everything has to have an ending.Be my sweetheart.Now. Bloom (hesitantly) Now?I shouldn't let go of that talisman.Rain, exposed to dew on the rocks by the sea.At my age, I still made such a mistake.All phenomena are caused by natural causes. fan (points slowly down) You can do it now. Bloom (looks down and sees her undo her bootlaces) We're in plain sight. fan (points rapidly down) You've got to do it.

Bloom (Deliberately, but also coyly) I will tie a real black rosette.I learned it while working as a clerk in Kerritt's shop, delivering mail order.I'm proficient.Each knot has its own name.Let me do it.It's a wholehearted effort.I have knelt down once today.what! (Bella raises the skirt slightly, takes a stance, and lifts her fat hoofs in half-high boots and her plump pasterns in silk stockings to the edge of the chair. The elderly Bloom, stiff-legged, leans on her hooves, With gentle fingers he laces her bootlaces in and out.) Bloom (Muttering tenderly) A dear dream of mine when I was young, was to be a shoe-fitting boy at Manfield.The dainty satin-lined suede boots of the ladies of Clyde Street[569] are unbelievably small.I buttoned up the boots and tied the straps criss-cross up to my knees, and it was such a joy.I even visited Raymond's wax figure every day, admiring the Parisian cobweb stockings on the women's feet and the smooth toe tips like rhubarb stems.

the hooves Smell my hot goatskin.Weigh my heavy weight. Bloom (crosses the loops) Is it too tight? the hooves If you can't get it right, Handy Andy, I'll kick you in the gut. Bloom Don't wear the wrong eye like you did at the bazaar dance that night.unlucky.Went into the buckle of her—the one you speak of—… She met that night… Well! (He laces up his boot. Bella drops her feet to the floor. Bloom looks up. Her fat face, her eyes stare at him from the front. The nostrils bulge.) Bloom (whispers) Gentlemen, at your command... belo (glares at him like the monster Xiaowang[571], then speaks in a baritone[572]) Shameless dog!

Bloom (fascinated) Empress! belo (His chubby cheeks droop.) Worshipers of adulterous buttocks! Bloom (poorly) Huge! belo People who eat dung! Bloom (half-bending knees) Majestic and sublime! belo bend over! (He slaps her on the shoulder with the fan).Bend your feet forward!Step back with your left foot!you will fall.pouring.Put your hands on the ground and get down! Bloom (eyes rolled up in admiration, yelling with eyes closed) Truffles! (With an epileptic cry, she falls on her stomach, snorts, and scratches the ground in front of her heels. Then, eyes closed, eyelids quivering, she bends her body into an arch with incomparable skill, Play dead and lie down.)

belo (Hair cropped short, purple flesh hanging down. Shaved lip surrounded by a bushy moustache. Wearing alpinist leggings, green jacket with silver buttons and sport skirt, headgear Mountaineering cap with grouse feathers. Hands deep in trouser pockets, heels on her neck, crunching.) Footstool!Let you know my portion size.Slave, the splendid heels of your tyrant stand proudly and glisten.Bow down before this throne. Bloom (Awed, trembling) I swear, I will never violate your will. belo (Laughs) My God!You still don't know what will happen to you.I am the Tartar who decides the fate of you bitch, and makes you submit!I'll bet I'd buy everybody a Kentucky cocktail if I couldn't make you look good, old son.You dare to contradict me and try.Then you put on your tracksuit and tremble all over, waiting for a heel punishment.

(Bloom ducks under the sofa and peeps through a crack in the fringe.) Zoe (spreads her skirt over Bloom) She's not here. Bloom (closes eyes) She's not here. Flory (Hides Bloom with gown) She didn't mean to, Mr Bello.She'll be good, my lord. Kitty Don't be too hard on her, Mr Bello.Sir, you will not. belo (teases with nice words) Come on, good boy, I have something to tell you, my dear, I just want to reprimand you.Let's talk a little bit sweetheart. (Bloom sticks his head timidly.) That's a good girl. (Bello grabs her roughly by the hair and pulls her forward.) I just want to fix you in that soft and safe place for your own good.How is your tender ass?Oh baby, I just caress lightly.Let's get ready.

Bloom (almost faints) Don't cut me in half... belo (violently) While the flute is playing, I'll make you feel like a Nubian slave[573] of nose rings, clamps with vise, paws, hooks, whips, all of them. .This time I can tell you to catch up.I want you to never forget me until you die. (He has blue veins on his forehead and blood on his face.) Every morning I start with a fancy breakfast of Mattson's sliced ​​ham and a bottle of Guinness, and I straddle your back on, as a padded saddle. (He hiccups.) Then I read the Chartered Catering Gazette[575] and smoked a stock exchange premium cigar.I'll probably have you slaughtered in my stable, and your meat skewered, greased, and roasted in tin cans as loose and crisp as a suckling pig; Serve it with rice, lemon, or dip it in a gooseberry sauce, and enjoy a slice of it.Enough for you. (Bello twists Bloom's arm and throws her on her back. Bloom screams.) Bloom Don't be so cruel, nurse!Don't be like that! belo (screws) Do it again! Bloom (screaming) Oh, what a living hell!I'm in so much pain! belo (shouting) Whoa!A general who bounces around with his ass twist!This is the best news I've heard in six weeks.asshole!Don't delay my time. (He slaps her across the face.) Bloom choked out) You hit me.I'm going to sue you... belo Hold on to this guy, girls, I'm going to straddle this guy. Zoe right.Step on this guy!I hold it down for you. Flory I will click.Don't be so greedy. Kitty No, I'll come.Lend me this guy. (Ma Keogh, the whorehouse cook, appears at the door. Wrinkled and grey-bearded, in a greasy apron, men's gray and green socks and suede shoes, with reddened bare arms, hands Clutching a rolling pin full of raw dough.) Aunt Keogh (violently) Can I help? (They grab Bloom and hold it tight.) belo (With a grunt, sits down on Bloom's upturned face, puffs on his cigar and rubs his fat calf.) I know Keating Clay was chosen for Richmond Asylum [ 576] Vice President.Incidentally, Guinness's preferential share is sixteen three-quarters[577].What an idiot I was for not buying the share that Craig and Gardner[578] were talking to me about.What a shame, theirs.But that damned hopeless Lost, won by twenty to one. (He snuffs out the cigar on Bloom's ear angrily.) Where's the goddam ashtray? Bloom (Torturing and smothered by his ass.) Oh!well!Beast!Cruel guy! belo Tell you to sue every ten minutes.beg.Pray with all your might. (He clenches his fist, then holds the stinking cigar between his fingers[580] and offers it contemptuously.) Hey, a kiss.Kiss both. (He straddles Bloom with one leg, clasping Bloom between his knees like a knight, and shouts sharply.) Come on!Ride on the rocking horse and rock and rock, and rock to Bunbury Crossing. [581] I'm going to ride this guy to the prize race at Eclips. (He bends sideways, grips his mount's testicles roughly, and shouts.) Ho!Go ahead.I'm going to train you in the normal way. (He bounces up and down on the saddle as if straddling a wooden horse.) The lady walks in short steps, the groom walks at a fast pace, and the master rides straight, run, run, run. Flory (points to Bello) It's time for me to ride.You have had enough riding.I spoke before you. Zoe (pulls Flory) Me.I.Are you not enough, vampire! Bloom (dying) No way. belo Well, I'm not enough yet.wait. (He holds his breath.) Damn it.Here.This stopper is about to burst. (He unplugs the back of his ass, then, with a contorted face, farts loudly.) Go on! (re-plugs) Yes, my God, sixteen three-quarters. Bloom (dripping with sweat) Not a man. (Sniffs.) It's a woman. belo (stands up) Don't be so half-hearted.What you have dreamed of has finally come true.From then on, you are no longer a man, but you truly belong to me, and you are put on a yoke. [582] Put on your disciplinary uniform now.You gotta take off your man clothes, understand, Ruby Cohen?You will wear this glittering silk, rustling from head and shoulders, elegant and luxurious.And change it right away! Bloom (recoils) It's silk!Oh, rustling, rustling!Do I have to touch it quietly with my fingertips? belo (pointing to his gang of whores) See them now, and you'll be like them too. [583] Put on a wig, cut the curls with fire, sprinkle perfume and powder, and shave the armpits clean.Measure your size with a tape measure.You'll be tucked into a reddish-gray twill canvas bodysuit with a whalebone chest that looks like a vice, strapped all the way to the diamond-encrusted pelvis.Your figure is fuller than it was when it was left alone, and it will be bound up in a mesh bodice, and that beautiful two-foot petticoat and tassels and all, all bearing my family's coat of arms, of course.A fine linen shirt for Alice, and a fine perfume for her.Alice would reach for the garter.Martha and Maria [584] were dressed so lightly on their legs that they felt cool at first.But once you frill with thin ribbons around your bare knees, it makes you think... Bloom (A coquettish maid with heavily painted cheeks, mustard hair, man's hands and nose, and squinting eyes.) I only half-jokingly tried on in Hollis Street. Twice her clothes.We were short of money at that time, and in order to save the laundry expenses, I did the laundry myself.I also flipped my own shirts.Live the most frugal days. belo (laughs) Did it to please Mommy, huh?Then pull the blinds down, and in a fancy dress, frivolously flaunt your skirtless thighs and billy-goat breasts in front of the mirror, in all sorts of gestures of commitment, eh?Haha, I have to laugh.Mrs. Miriam Dendrade [585] sold you at the Shelburne's, that old black high-class open-neck shirt and shorts, they all fell apart when she [586] raped them last time, uh ? Bloom Miriam.Black.A woman with a bad reputation. belo (laughs) Great Christ, this is so funny!When you shaved the back door and put that stuff on, and passed out on the bed, you were pretty Miriam.Looks like Mrs. Dendrade about to be raped by these people below.They were: Lieutenant Smythe-Smythe, Mr. Philip Augustus Brockwell MP, Mr. Lacie Darlemore, the stout tenor, Bert the blue-eyed man who drove the elevator. , Henry Fleury, who won the Gordon Bennett Trophy[588] of fame, Sheridan, the rich mulatto who was No. 8 skater on the Trinity College team, and her Ponto, a handsome Newfoundland dog, and Bobs, the widow of the Duke of Manor Hamilton[589]. (He laughs again.) Why, even the Siamese cat got laughed at. Bloom (She moves her hands and features.) When I was in high school, I played the leading lady in the play Upside Down.That time, Gerald [591] made me really a corset lover, yes, dear Gerald.He had developed a strange habit of being fascinated by his sister's corsets.Today lovely Gerald wears pink oil paint and paints his eyelids gold.This is the worship of beauty. belo (Laughing irrationally) Beautiful!When you lift up the ruffles of your skirt and sit on the polished and smooth throne with the care of a woman, you can't even breathe! Bloom It's a science.Compare the various pleasures we each enjoy. (eagerly) Honestly, it's better that way... because I used to get wet a lot... belo (sternly) Don't talk back!There's sawdust in the corner for you.Didn't I strictly instruct you?Stand up and do it, man!I'm going to teach you to act like a liar!Don't you dare to leave a little stain on the swaddle.Hey!Swear by Dolan's ass[592], you'll find me a disciplined man.Your past sins will rise up against you.a lot of.There are hundreds of piles. past sins (Voice mixed.) He secretly married at least one woman in the shadow of the Black Church[ 593 ].While making obscenities with the public telephone booth, he mentally called Miss Dunn[594] who lived on the Dollier and said some nasty things.He also blatantly encouraged prostitutes, by word and deed, to dump their feces and other waste into the filthy toilets next to the vacant houses.In the five public toilets, he wrote in pencil that he was willing to provide his wife for all able-bodied men.Didn't he pass couples in love every night near the smelly sulfuric acid factory [ 595 ], trying his luck, hoping to see something?Hadn't this fat boar been lying in bed, encouraging a nasty whore with gingerbread and a postal order, to provide her with disgusting papyrus that had been used many times, and staring at him greedily in bed? belo (whistling loudly) Hi!What's the most disgusting act of sensuality in your sinful career?Say it all.Spit it out!This time I have to tell him the truth. Silent, grim faces approached, some squinting, some fading away, and some laughing.Poldy de Cock[596], Penny Bootstrap[597], Cassidy's Crone[598], Blind Youth[599], Larry Lenoseros[600], Girl, Woman , whores, and more...) Bloom Do not ask me!Our common belief. [601] Pleasant Street.I only half-thought it... I promise by a holy oath... belo (Definitely) Answer!You disgusting bastard!I must know.Tell me something funny: whether it's obscene, or a gory, slick ghost story, or just a line of poetry.Hurry up!Where did it happen?In what way?when?with how many people?I only give you three seconds.one!two!three! ... Bloom (bends head to ear, gurgling sound in throat) I sniffed, smacked, smacked, hated, hated things... belo (Bossy) Oh, get the hell out of here, you bitch!shut up!Ask you, then answer. Bloom (bows) My lord!Mrs!The man who tamed men! (He raises his arms. The bracelet falls.) belo (bitterly) During the day, you soaked our smelly underwear sets in water and beat them.When we ladies are not feeling well, you have to take care of us.You have to lift up your clothes, tie a cloth behind your buttocks, and clean the latrine for us.How satisfying that would be! (He puts a ruby ​​ring on her finger.) That's it!Wear this ring and you are mine.Say: Thank you, ma'am. Bloom Thank you, ma'am. belo You'll have to make our quilts, prepare my bath, and empty the urinals in every room, including old Cook Keogh's sand-colored one.Yes, and you have to remember to rinse all seven urinals well, or lick them clean like champagne.Drink my piss while it's hot.You have to serve quickly and humbly, otherwise, I will reprimand you for not knowing the rules.Miss Ruby [602], I'm going to smack your bare ass with a hairbrush.In this way, you will know how to follow the rules.At night, your creamed and braceleted hands have to be paired with a pair of forty-three-button, freshly talc-powdered gloves, with dainty perfumed fingertips.In order to obtain these benefits, the former knights did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. (He giggles.) My lads will be swooning at your dame-like demeanor, especially the colonel, when they come here on the eve of the wedding to caress my new gilt-heel sign When I was a girl.First, I had to try you out for myself.Charles Alberta Marsh I met at the racetrack - I just slept with him.There is also a gentleman from the File Baskets and Parcels Department[603] who is looking for a compliant maid.Straighten out your chest.smile.Drop your shoulders.How much are you willing to pay? (pointing) The stock is here.After being trained by the employer, he can carry a bucket with his mouth in his mouth. (He rolls up his sleeve and thrusts his forearm all the way into Bloom's cunt.) Deep enough!How are you guys?Seeing this, can you stand up? (He puts his arm in front of one of the bidders.) Here, come on, next to each other! a bidder Two shillings in silver. (Dillon's [604] buddy rings the bell.) buddy Bang! a voice One shilling and eightpence overpaid. [605] charles alberta marsh Presumably a virgin.Very angry.Pretty clean. belo (He hits it hard with the hammer.) Two shillings.The price is so low that it's like throwing away for nothing.There were fourteen people who raised their hands, touched and checked her parts.Fiddle with your hands though.This hairy skin, such soft tendons, such tender flesh.If only I had my golden awl handy!And there is plenty of milk.Can express three gallons of fresh milk a day.A prolific purebred, littering in less than an hour.Her father's milk production record is 2,000 gallons of pure milk in 40 weeks.Ho, my darling!Please!Ho! (He tattoos his initial C on Bloom's buttocks.) Come on!The real Cohen [606]!How much for two shillings, gentlemen? brunette man (with a falsetto) One hundred pounds. public voice (lowering his voice) The results of the auction belong to Harry.Harun Rashid[607]. belo (cheerfully) All right.Let them all come.Narrow and unscrupulous, the knee-length short skirt, with the skirt lifted up to reveal a touch of white loose trousers, is a powerful weapon.And the sheer stockings, with their long, straight ridges reaching to the top of the knees and tied with bright green garters, appealed very well to the instinct of those who were tired of playing in the city and wanted to make a difference.To learn to wear Louis XV shoes with four-inch heels,[608] to walk coyly and with air.You have to be able to do the Greek curtsey, provocatively sticking out the buttocks, well-proportioned thighs, and demurely joined knees.Show them all your charm.Seduce them to indulge in the vices of Gomorrah[609]. Bloom (Hides blushing face in armpits, with forefinger in mouth, smirks.) Oh, it's hard for me now to understand what you're implying! belo What else can a man as impotent as you do? (He bends over, stares and prods roughly with his fan under the fat folds of Bloom's buttocks.) Get up!stand up!Manx Cat [610]!What's the matter?Where is your curly teapot?Or did someone hinge it off, you bird?Sing, bird, sing.Limp, like that six-year-old thing that pissed in the back of the wagon.Buy a bucket or sell the pump. (Loudly) Are you capable of being a man? Bloom On Eccles Street... belo (sarcastically) I never meant to hurt your feelings, but there's a muscular man out there for you.It's called a reversal of the tables, you young gentleman!He was a strong, strong man.Well, you wretch, if only you had a thing full of bumps and warts and warts.I tell you what, he's giving it his all.Feet to feet, knees to knees, belly to belly, breast to chest!He is not a eunuch.A tuft of red hair sticks out like a gorse bush on the back of the buttocks!Boy, wait nine months!Oops, it's already churning up and down in her stomach, kicking, kicking, coughing and whatnot!Doesn't that make you very angry?Have you hit a sore spot? (He spits at Bloom contemptuously.) You spittoon! Bloom I'm deeply insulted, and I'm going to sue the police.Claim one hundred pounds.He can speak out!I…… belo Sue if you can, lame duck.We want pouring rain, not your drizzle. Bloom Will drive me crazy!Moore [611]!I forgot!forgive me!Moore... we... also... belo (brutally) No, Leopold Bloom.Since you lay in Sleepy Hollow and spent twenty years of nights[612] in your sleep, everything has changed according to the woman's will.Go back and have a look. (Old Sleepy Hollow calls across the moor.) sleepy valley Rip Van Winkle!Rip Van Winkle! Bloom (He wears battered moccasin boots and holds a rusty fowling gun in his hand. Standing on tiptoe, he gropes with his fingers. A haggard face, bony and unshaven, stares at the diamond-shaped windowpane, Then shouts) I see her!is her!The night I first met her at Matt Dillon's house!But that dress is green!Her hair was dyed blond, and he... belo (Laughing mockingly) You owl, that's your daughter, with one of Mullingar's students. (Millie Bloom, fair-haired, in a green gown, with slim sandals[613] , letting her blue kerchief billow in the sea breeze, shakes off her lover's arms, and cries with wide-eyed amazement .) Millie God!This is Daddy.But, oh, Daddy, how old you are! belo It's changed, right?Our odds and ends, our desk that was never written on, and Aunt Haggerty's armchair were imitations of old masters.A man and his boyfriends are pampered there.Wang Bawo [614].That's fine too.How many women have you had, eh, shuffled down a dark street, trailing after them, grunting loudly to get them excited.What's up, you whore?Follow the well-behaved ladies with their bags of groceries.turn back.My gander, you and the mother goose are exactly the same. [615] Bloom They... I... belo (bitterly) Our heels will tread on that imitation Brussels rug you bought at Rennes[616] auction house.They messed around with naughty Moll, caught the male fleas in her trousers, and smashed that little figurine[617] that you brought home in the rain for art's sake.They exposed all the secrets you kept in the bottom drawer.They'll tear up your astronomy handbook and twist it into pipe wiping paper.And they spit in the brass grate you bought for ten shillings from that shop in Hampton Lydham. Bloom It's ten shillings and sixpence.What a scumbag did.let me go.I want to go back.I want to prove... a voice swear! [619] (Bloom clenches his fists and crawls forward with the long hunting knife in his mouth.) belo As a tenant, or as a concubine?It's too late[620].Since you made that second-best bed[621], other people have to sleep on it.Your epitaph[622] has been written.Don't forget, old man, you're done and kicked out. Bloom Justice!All Ireland is against one man!Could it be that everyone..." (He gnaws his thumb.) belo If you have even an ounce of self-respect or decency, die and go to hell.I can give you some old wine from my collection, and you will be able to dance to and from hell when you drink it.Sign a will and leave all cash to us!If you don't have a penny, steal it or rob it, you bastard must get the money anyway!We buried you in a latrine in the bushes.There's my married step-nephew, old Carker Cohn--a goddamn old gouty, attorney-at-law, sodomite with constant neck cramps.And ten or eleven other husbands of mine, and you're going to die with them, filthy and smothered in the same cesspit, whatever the name of these sodomites. (He breaks out into a phlegmatic laugh.) We'll compost you, Mr. Flor! (He whistles mockingly.) Bye, Poldy!Goodbye, Daddy! Bloom (Holding his head tightly) My willpower!memory!I have committed a crime!I suffer! [623] (He starts to cry.) belo (laughing) Cry baby!The tear of crocodile! (Bloom, distraught, eyes tightly blindfolded, face choked on the ground, waiting to be a victim. At this moment there is the sound of the death knell. The figure of the circumcised man in a black scarf, sackcloth and ashes, Standing beside the drinking wall [624]. M. Schuller Mochitz, Joseph Goldwater, Moses Herzog, Harris Rosenberg, M. Moiser, J. Citron , Minnie Wachman, P. Mastiansky, and Leopold the cantor. Abramowitz Mentor[625]. They waved their arms and called on the Holy Spirit in mourning for the apostate Blue Weeping over the death of Mu.) circumcised (Singing in a gloomy guttural voice, they sprinkle him with dead sea fruit, no flowers[626].) Listen, O Israelites!The Lord is our God; he alone is the Lord. [627] public voice (sighs) Well, he's gone.Ah, yes.Yes, exactly that.Bloom?Never heard of him.No?It's a weird guy.There is also a widow.Yeah?Ah, yes. (From the pyre of the widow's self-immolation, the flame of rubber camphor rises. The cigarette smoke covers the surrounding like a coffin and gradually dissipates. A nymph[628] steps out of the oak frame. Her hair is loose , lightly clad in artificially colored tawny, emerges from her cave and stands beside Bloom, passing under a few tangles of yew trees.) Yews (Yezi chatters) It's my sister.our sister.Hush! (soft voice) Mortals! (kindly) No, don't cry! Bloom (Crawls limply under the branches and leaves, bathed in the sunlight coming in through the gaps in the branches and leaves, majestically) To such a situation.I've known for a long time that this would be the case.force of habit. nymph mortal!You found me among a bunch of thugs.A lap dancer, a fruit and vegetable peddler, a boxer, a popular general.Amoral mummers in flesh-coloured leotards, witty and pretty dancers who danced the shimi in the most popular cabaret of the century, La Dawn and the Kalini.I'm hiding in pink cheap paper that smells of petroleum.Surrounded by the old obscenities of the men of the club, the utterances of the teenage boys, and all kinds of advertisements: transparent decorative pictures, dice made according to geometric figures, breast protectors, patent products, tested by hernia patients hernia belt.Benefits for those who are married. Bloom (raises the turtle's head toward her knee) We've met before.on another planet. nymph (sadly) Rubber products.An unbreakable variety, reserved for nobles.Corsets for men.Treatment of convulsions, invalid refund.Unsolicited thank you letter from a user of Professor Waldman's Amazing Chest Expander.Letter from Mrs. Gus Lublin: My bust has grown four inches in three weeks, with photo attached. Bloom Do you mean "Photography"? nymph yes.You took me, framed me in oak with tinsel, hung me above your husband and wife's bed.You also kissed four places on my body one summer evening when no one was looking, and penciled in my eyes, breasts, and pussy with admiration. Bloom (kisses her long hair humbly) Beautiful and immortal, what classical curves you have.You are beauty personified.I have admired you, praised you, and almost prayed to you. nymph In the long dark night, I heard your praise... Bloom (quickly) Yeah, yeah.You mean me...sleep brings out the worst in everyone, maybe with the exception of kids.I know I've rolled out of bed, or rather been pushed.Wine steeped in iron filings was said to cure snoring.In addition, there is the invention of the British.Even though the address was wrong, I received the brochure a few days ago about the cure for snoring.It says it can make a person snore silently and without disturbing anyone. (sighs) It's always been like this: Fragility, your name is marriage. [630] nymph (blocks ears with fingers) And something else.Those words are not in my dictionary. Bloom Can you understand those words? Yews Hush! nymph (covers face with hands) In that room, what didn't I see?I have to look at something! Bloom (sorry) I know.The dirty shirt that was worn close to the body was turned upside down on purpose.The rings on the bed frame were loose too, having been brought by sea from Gibraltar long ago. nymph (hanging his head) Worse than that, worse than that! Bloom (Think carefully) Is that the old urinal?That's not to blame for her weight.She happened to be one hundred and sixty-seven pounds.After weaning, nine pounds were added.There is a lump on the urinal and the glue has come off.Uh?It was a crappy, fretted utensil with only one handle. (The sound of a waterfall cascading down is heard.) Fall 噗啦呋咔[631] ，噗啦呋咔。 噗啦呋咔，噗啦呋咔。 紫杉们 （枝条交叉）听啊。小点儿声。姐姐说得对。我们是在噗啦呋咔瀑布旁边生长的。在令人倦怠的夏日，我们供大家遮荫。 约翰·怀思·诺兰 （身穿国民林务员制服，出现在后方。摘下那顶插了饰毛的帽子。）在令人倦怠的日子，遮荫吧，爱尔兰的树木！ 紫杉们 （低语）是谁随同高中生的郊游到噗啦呋咔来啦？是谁丢下寻觅坚果的同学们，到我们树底下找荫凉儿来啦？[632] Bloom （鸡胸，瓶状肩膀，身穿不三不四的黑灰条纹相间、尺寸太小的童装，脚蹬白网球鞋，滚边的翻筒长袜，头上是一顶带着徽章的红色学生帽。）我当时才十几岁，是个正在发育的男孩儿。看什么都有趣儿。颠簸的车啦，妇人衣帽间和厕所混淆在一起的气味啦，密密匝匝地拥塞在古老的皇家剧场[633] 楼梯上的人群啦。因为他们喜欢你拥我挤，这是群体的本能，而且散发出淫荡气味的黑洞洞的剧场更使邪恶猖獗起来。我甚至喜欢看袜子的价目表。还有那股暑气。那个夏季，太阳上出现了黑点。学期结束。还有浸了葡萄酒的醉饼。多么宁静幸福的日子啊。 （宁静幸福的日子：高中男生穿着蓝白相间的足球运动衫和短裤。唐纳德·特恩布尔、亚伯拉罕·查特顿、欧文·戈德堡、杰克·梅雷迪思和珀西·阿普约翰[634] 站在林间空地上，朝着少年利奥波德·布卢姆喊叫。） 宁静幸福的日子 青花鱼[635]！咱们再一道玩玩吧。very good! （他们喝彩。） Bloom （一个笨拙的小伙子，戴着暖和的手套，裹着妈妈的围巾，朝他丢来的松软的雪球像星星般地沾在身上。他挣扎着要站起来。）再一道！我觉得又回到十六岁啦！真有趣儿！咱们把蒙塔古街[636]上所有的钟都敲响吧。（他有气无力地欢呼。）好得很，高中时代！ echo fool! 紫杉们 （飒飒作响）咱们的姐姐说得对。小声些。（整座树林子里，遍处都是喊喊喳喳的接吻声。树精从树干与枝叶间露出脸来窥伺，猛地绽开一朵朵的花。）是谁玷污了咱们这寂静的树荫儿？ 宁芙 （羞答答地，从扎煞开的指缝间）那儿吗？在光天化日之下？ 紫杉们 （朝下弯曲）是啊，姐姐。而且是在咱们这纯洁的草地上。 Fall 噗啦呋咔，噗啦呋咔， 噗咔呋咔，噗咔呋咔。 宁芙 （扎煞着手指）哦，不要脸！ Bloom 我曾经是个早熟的孩子。青春时期，法乌娜[637] 。我向森林之神献了祭。春季开的花儿[638] 。那是交尾的季节。毛细管引力是自然现象。我用可怜的爸爸那架小望远镜，从没拉严的窗帘缝儿偷看了亚麻色头发的洛蒂·克拉克在化晚妆。那个轻浮丫头吃起草来可野啦。在里亚托桥[639] ，她滚下山去，用她那旺盛的血气来勾引我。她爬上了弯弯曲曲的树，而我呢。连个圣徒也抑制不住自己。恶魔附在我身上啦。而且，谁也不曾看见呀。 （一头打着趔趄的无角白色小牛崽[640] 从叶丛间伸出头来。它蠕动着嘴，鼻孔湿漉漉的。） 刚生下的小牛崽 （大滴大滴的泪珠子从鼓起的眼睛里滚滚而下，吸溜着鼻涕。）我。我瞧。 Bloom 仅仅是为了满足一阵欲望，我……（凄楚地）我追求姑娘，却没有一个理睬我。太丑啦。她们不肯跟我玩…… （在高高的霍斯山顶儿上，一只大奶、短尾母山羊缓步走在杜鹃花丛中，醋栗一路坠落着。[641] ） 母山羊 （鸣叫）咩、咩、咩、咩！呐喃呐呢！ Bloom （无帽，涨红着脸，浑身沾满蓟冠毛和荆豆刺）正式订了婚。境遇迁，情况变[642] 。（目不转睛地俯视水面）每秒三十二英尺，[643] 倒栽葱跌下去。印刷品的恶梦。发晕的以利亚。[644] 从断崖上坠落。政府印刷公司职员[645] 的悲惨下场。 （裹成木乃伊状的布卢姆木偶，穿过夏日静穆的银色空气，从狮子岬角的崖上旋转着滚进等待着他的紫水。） 木偶木乃伊 布鲁布鲁布鲁布鲁布罗施布！ （远远地在海湾的水面上，爱琳王号[646] 从贝利灯塔与基什灯塔之间穿行。烟囱吐出羽毛状煤烟，扩散开来，朝岸边飘浮。） 市政委员南尼蒂[647] （独自站在甲板上。身着黑色羊驼呢衣服，面作黄褐色，手插进背心敞口，口若悬河地演说着。）当我的祖国在世界各国之间占有了一席之地，直到那时，只有到了那时，方为我写下墓志铭，我的话…… Bloom It's over.噗噜呋！ 宁芙 （高傲地）我们这些神明，正如你今天所瞧见的那样，身上没有那个部位，也没长着毛。[648] 我们像石头一样冰凉而纯洁。我们吃电光。（她把身子淫荡地弯成弓形，咬着食指。）你对我说话来着吧。声音是从背后传来的，你怎么竟能这样……？ Bloom （沮丧地用脚踢着石南丛）哎，我真是地地道道的一头猪猡。我甚至还灌了肠。从苦树采下的苦味液三分之一品脱，兑上一汤匙岩盐。插进肛门。用的是妇女之友牌汉密尔顿·朗[ 649] 的灌肠器。 宁芙 当着我的面。粉扑。（飞红了脸，屈膝）还不只这一桩呢！ Bloom （垂头丧气）对。我犯了罪！[650] 我已经向不再这么叫的后背那个部位——一座活生生的祭坛致了敬。（突然以热切的口吻）为什么那双馥郁秀丽、珠光宝气的手，支配……的手[ 651] ？ （一个个身影缓缓地勾勒出森林图案，像蛇一般缠到树干上，柔声呼唤着。） 吉蒂的声音 （在矮树丛里）拿出个靠垫给咱瞧瞧。 弗洛莉的声音 Here. （一只松鸡笨拙地从乱丛棵子中扑扇而过。） 林奇的声音 （在矮树丛里）哎唷！热得快开锅啦！ 佐伊的声音 （在矮树丛里）从热地儿来的嘛。 维拉格的声音 （百鸟首领，披戴着饰以蓝竖纹羽毛的全副甲胄，手执标枪，踩着山毛榉果和橡子，大踏步穿过僻僻啪啪响的藤丛。）好热啊！So hot!可得提防着坐牛[652] ！ Bloom 我受不了啦。她那热呼呼的身子留下的热烘烘的烙印。就连在女人坐过的地方坐坐都受不了，尤其在那叉开大腿仿佛要最后开恩的地方，甚至还留下把圆盘般的白棉缎衬裙高高撩起来的痕迹。充满了女人气息。我已经满得饱和啦。 Fall 啡啦噗啦，噗啦呋咔， 噗啦呋咔，噗啦呋咔。 紫杉们 Hush!姐姐，说呀！ 宁芙 （双目失明，身穿修女的白袍，包着两边张出翼状大折裥的头巾，望着远处，安详地）特兰奎拉女修道院。阿加塔修女。迦密山。[653] 诺克和卢尔德的显圣。[654] 没有了欲望。（她垂下头去叹气。）只剩下苍穹的灵气了。梦幻一般浓郁的海鸥，在沉滞的水上飞翔。[655] （布卢姆欠起身来。他的后裤兜儿上的钮扣崩掉了。） 钮扣 Boom! （库姆[656] 的两个婊子身披围巾，淋着雨，边跳着舞过去，边用呆板的音调嚷着。） 哦，利奥波德丢了衬裤的饰针。 他不知道怎么办， so as not to let it fall off, To keep it from falling off. Bloom （冷漠地）你们把符咒给破了。这可是最后一根稻草[657] 啊。倘若只有天上的灵气，该把你们这些圣职申请者和见习修女往哪儿摆呢？羞涩而心甘情愿，就像一头撒尿的驴。 紫杉们 （银纸叶子坠落，骨瘦如柴的胳膊老迈而摇来摆去。）虚幻无常！ 宁芙[ 658] 这简直是亵渎神明！竟敢试图破坏我的贞操！ （她的衣服上出现一大片湿渡渡的污痕。）玷污我的清白！你不配摸一位纯洁女子的衣服。 （她重新把衣服拢紧。）且慢。魔鬼，不许你再唱情歌。Ah guys.Ah guys.Ah guys.Ah guys. （她拔出短剑，披着从九名中选拔出来的骑士[ 659] 的锁子甲，朝布卢姆的腰部扎去。）你这个孽障！ Bloom （大吃一惊，攥住她的手。）嗬！受保佑的！[ 660］有九条命的猫！太太，要讲讲公道，用刀子割可使不得。是狐狸和酸葡萄吧，呃？你已经有了铁蒺藜[661] ，还缺什么？难道十字架还不够粗吗？（一把抓住她的头巾）你究竟想要可敬的男修道院院长呢，还是瘸腿园丁布罗菲；要么就是没有出水口的送水人[662] 雕像，或是好母亲阿方萨斯，呃，列那[663] ？ 宁芙 （大叫一声，丢下头巾，逃出他的手掌。她那用石膏塑成的壳子出现裂纹，从裂缝里冒出一股臭气[664] 。）警……！ Bloom （从她背后喊）倒好像你自己井没有加倍地享乐似的。连动也不动一下就浑身糊满各种各样的黏液了。我试了一下。你的长处就是我们的弱点。你给我多少配种费呀？马上付多少现款？我读过关于你们在里维埃拉雇舞男的事。[665]（正在逃跑的宁芙哭了一声。）呃？我像黑奴般地干了十六年的苦役。难道明天陪审员会给我五先令的赡养费吗，呃，去愚弄旁人吧，我可不上这个当。（嗅着。）动情。葱头。酸臭的气味[666] 。硫磺。脂肪。 （贝拉·科恩[667] 的身影站在他面前。） Bella 下次你就认得我啦。 Bloom （安详地打量着她）容颜衰退。 [ 668] 老婊子装扮成少妇的样子。牙齿长，头发密。晚上临睡吃生葱头，可以滋润容颜。通过锻炼，能消除双下巴颏。你那两眼就像你那只剥制狐狸的玻璃眼睛那么呆滞。它门跟你的胸腰臀尺寸也相当。That's it.我可不是一架三翼螺旋桨。 Bella （轻蔑地）其实你已经不行啦。（她那母猪的阴部吼叫着。）吹牛皮！ Bloom （轻蔑地）先把你那没有指甲的中指擦干净吧。你那情人的冰凉精液正在从你的鸡冠上嘀嗒着哪。抓把干草自己擦擦吧。 Bella 我晓得你是个拉广告的！阳萎！ Bloom 我瞧见你的情人啦：窑子老板！贩卖梅毒和后淋症的！ Bella （转向钢琴）你们之间是谁弹《扫罗》中的送葬曲[669] 来着？ Zoe it's me.当心你的鸡眼儿吧。 [670]（ 她一个箭步蹿到钢琴跟前，交抱着胳膊使劲碰琴键。）平板、机械、单调、生硬的旋律。 （她回过头来瞟一眼。）呃？谁在向我的情人儿献殷勤？ （她一个箭步蹿回到桌边。）你的就是我的，我的就是我自己的。 （吉蒂仓皇失措，用银纸遮住牙齿。布卢姆走近佐伊。） Bloom （用柔和的声调）把那个土豆还给我好吗？ Zoe 没收啦。好东西，非常好的东西。 Bloom （深情地）那玩艺儿什么价值也没有，但毕竟是我可怜的妈妈的遗物。 Zoe 给人东西又索讨， 天主问哪儿去了， 你就推说不知道， 天主送你下地狱。[ 671] Bloom 这是有纪念意义的。我想拥有它。 stephen 拥有还是没有，这是一个值得考虑的问题。[672] Zoe Here. （她撩起衬裙褶子，露出裸着的大腿，然后往下卷了卷长袜口，掏出土豆。）藏的人自然知道上哪儿去找。 Bella （皱眉）喂，这儿可不是有音乐伴奏、透过小孔看的那种下流表演。可别把那架钢琴砸烂啦。帐由谁付呀？ （她走到自动钢琴旁边。斯蒂芬掏兜，捏着一张纸币的角儿，提拎出来递给她。） stephen （故作夸张的彬彬有礼）这个丝制钱包我是用酒吧间的猪耳朵做的[673] 大太，请原谅。要是您允许的话。（他含含糊糊地指林奇和布卢姆。）金赤和林奇，我们同赌共济。[674] 在我们“开庭”的这家窑子里[675]。 Lynch （从炉边招呼）迪达勒斯！替我祝福她吧。[676] stephen （递给贝洛一枚硬币）喏，还是金的哩。她已经被祝福过啦。 Bella （瞧瞧钱，[ 677] 然后看看佐伊、弗洛莉和吉蒂。）你们要三个姑娘吗？这里是十先令。 stephen （欣喜地）十万个对不起。（他又掏兜，并摸出两枚克朗递给她。）请原谅，少给了[ 678] ，我的眼神儿有点毛病。 （贝拉走到桌边去数钱，斯蒂芬用单音节词喃喃自语。佐伊朝桌子弯下身去。吉蒂偎倚着佐伊的脖颈。林奇站起来，把便帽扶正，紧紧搂住吉蒂的腰肢，把头凑到众人当中。） Flory （使劲挣扎着站起来）噢！我的脚发麻。（她一瘸一拐地来到桌边。布卢姆挨了过去。） 贝拉、佐伊、吉蒂、林奇、布卢姆 （叽哩叭啦，拌嘴）那位先生……十先令……付了三份……稍等一等……这位先生的帐另外算……谁在碰它？ ……Oh! ……掐我，可饶不了你……你是过夜呢，还是只泡一会儿？ ……谁干的？ ……你撒谎，对不起……这位先生已经像个上等人那样结清了帐……喝酒……早就过十一点啦。 stephen （在自动钢琴旁边，做表示厌恶的手势）不要酒啦！什么，十一点？一个谜语[679] ！ Zoe （撩起裙裾，将那枚半克朗金市夹在长袜口里）这是躺在床上好不容易才挣到的哪。 Lynch （把吉蒂从桌旁抱起）来呀！ Kitty wait a minute. （她一把抓住两枚克朗。） Flory 还有我哪？ Lynch Hula! （他举起她，把她抱到沙发跟前，咕咯一声撂下去。） 狐狸叫，公鸡飞， 天堂钟声响， 整整十一点。 她可怜的灵魂， 该离开天堂啦。[680]
