PART ONE: Chapter One

More Finnstuff: Every year for twenty-three years at Samhain (Irish festival to mark end of harvest, at end of October), the fire-breathing fairy Aillen would lull the men of Tara to sleep with his music before burning the palace to the ground, and the Fianna, led by Goll mac Morna, were powerless to prevent it. Fionn arrived at Tara, armed with his father's crane-skin bag of magical weapons. He kept himself awake by sticking the point of his own spear into his forehead. The pain would not let him sleep and then Fionn killed Aillen with the same spear. After that his heritage was recognised and he was given command of the Fianna:

Accounts of Fionn's death vary; according to the most popular, he is not dead at all, rather, he sleeps in a cave somewhere beneath Ireland, surrounded by the rest of the Fianna. One day they will awake and defend Ireland in the hour of her greatest need. In both Irish and Manx popular folklore, Fionn mac Cumhail (known as "Finn McCool" or "Finn MacCooill" respectively) is portrayed as a magical, benevolent giant.

War/sex images in the Wellington Museum. Tindall has this whole passage to be about family conflict and puns on the names of battles.
Willingdone Museyroom – the Wellington museum
Prooshi-ous - precious
Ffrinch - French
Tip – I read, from RAW I think, that the ‘Tip’ repeated is the branches of a tree tapping against the window that attempt to wake Finnegan from the depths of sleep. A tip is also a dump. So a dump of military objects.
Lipoleum – Napoleon
big wide harse- horse. arse
Cokenhape- Copenhagen: Wellington’s horse at Waterloo. Copenhagen: Danish city; the scene of a British victory in 1807 involving Wellington; the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen (1805-75)
his pullupon-easyan wartrews. Peloponnesian War. pull up/ pull on, easy on. Waterloo → war - waterloose. trews: close-fitting trousers
the three lipoleum boyne grouching down in the living detch: According to FW Wiki the following - three Napoleon boys → Napoleon I, Napoleon II and Napoleon III → Shem, Shaun and the combined Shem-Shaun character. Also the River Boyne: a river in Ireland → the Battle of the Boyne, 1 July 1690, which has been called "Ireland's Waterloo". The Battle of the Boyne was fought in 1690 between two rival claimants of the English, Scottish, and Irish thrones – the Catholic King James and the Protestant King William (who had deposed James in 1688). The battle, won by William, was a turning point in James' unsuccessful attempt to regain the crown and ultimately helped ensure the continuation of Protestant ascendancy in Ireland. The symbolic importance of this battle has made it one of the best-known battles in British–Irish history and it is a key part of the folklore for the Orange Order. Its commemoration today is principally by the Protestant Orange Institution. It is especially remembered as a crucial moment in the struggle between Irish Protestant and Catholic interests.

the three lipoleum boyne grouching down in the living detch: Could also be three English soldiers in the Phoenix Park, hiding in a ditch.
This is an inimyskilling inglis, this is a scotcher grey, this is a davy, stooping. Regiments at the battle of Waterloo: The regiments of The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, and Scotch Grey regiments,
a davy, stooping is buggering. Probably pretty common in armies.

This is the bog lipoleum mordering the lipoleum beg: H’mm. well the bog part can refer to muddy conditions of the battle field (true at Waterloo) or to Ireland. However, the word small in Irish beag is pronounced either beg or Byug, depending on which part of the country it is spoken. One interpretation of this sentence I found is this: Joyce makes his views of the Battle obvious when he says Lipoleum beg. Lipoleum has already been described as an insult hurled at the French leader. Beg is an Anglo Irish word meaning small. He calls Napoleon the small, fat. greasy leader of an army. Little Napoleon, can be understood as Shem, the devil, as opposed to Bog lipoleum (big Napoleon, Shaun). Personally I’m not convinced, but maybe.

Gallawghurs argaumunt: gallowglass: a mercenary soldier in medieval Ireland, Gawilghur: a fortress in northern India, Gallagher, a common surname but why a Gallagher argument?
This is the petty lipoleum boy that was nayther bag nor bug. Portait of Napoleon when he was neither big nor small??
Assaye: The Battle of Assaye. Major General Arthur Wellesley’s (later the Duke of Wellington) important defeat of the Mahratta army, opening the way for the British conquest of Central India
Touchole Fitz Tuo-mush. Dirty MacDyke. And Hairy O’Hurry: Tom, Dick and Harry combined with slang for vaginas!!! (also 3 soldiers in Park?)
arminus-varminus: Arminius: Hermann (16 BC-21 CE), German warlord, the liberator of Germania; he defeated Varus in the Teutoburg Wald (9 CE). Jacobus Arminius: Dutch theologian and religious reformer; the founder of Arminianism (a liberal type of Calvinism emphasizing God’s love rather than his justice). Artemis: Greek goddess of the hunt and of virginity, born in Delos, where her cult was centered. Varus: Publius Quinctilius Varus, governor of Germania, defeated by Arminius at Teutoburg Forest in 9 CE; he committed suicide. Vermin/ verminous
Delian alps: (from FW Wiki) Julian Alps: the mountains which overlook Trieste (where JJ and Nora first lived after they left Ireland); the highest peak is called Tricorno → triplewon hat (Napoleon wore a tricorn hat) Delian League: a Greek confederacy founded in 477 BC, and so-called because its treasury was originally on the island of Delos; the Delian League was the Athenian-led faction in the Peloponnesian War. Delia: in Greek mythology, another name for goddess Artemis, who was born (with her brother Apollo) on the island of Delos. Delia Bacon: American author of the so-called "Baconian Theory", according to which the plays of Shakespeare were actually written by Francis Bacon
Mont Tivel: Nivelles: a Belgian town close to Waterloo; a key point in the Waterloo campaign. mont: (French) mountain
Mont Tipsey: tipsey, bit drunk, but also mont: (French) mount → to mount = to engage in sexual intercourse with. teipsum: (Latin) yourself → Mont Tipsey = mount yourself = masturbate, which HCE appears to engage in in this episode
the Grand Mons Injun: mons: a mound of fatty tissue covering the pubic area in women. Also, Mont St Jean: a village south of Waterloo and just north of the site of the Battle of Waterloo; Wellington was stationed on the plateau of Mont-Saint-Jean with the village behind him → Mont St Jean was the name the English army gave to the Battle of Waterloo → Napoleon believed that Mont St Jean was the key to Wellington’s position. Mons: a city in Belgium close to Waterloo → the Battle of Mons, 23 August 1914, was the first battle of the British Expeditionary Force in World War I.

num-mered: Winter struggle between dark and light. Halloween, both an Irish version of All Souls day, and a time when Summer draws to an end and winter is coming. Therefore: Death and Resurrection. (Wake theme) As the days grew shorter and shorter approaching the winter solstice it seemed to our remote ancestors that the waning sun was in imminent danger of disappearing altogether. In earlier times human or animal sacrifice was offered to placate the gods. When this ceased people knew that something had to be done that would please these all-powerful, mysterious deities so they would restore the light, allow the days to lengthen and the forces of normality rebirth and regrowth to return. From time immemorial in Ireland the Christmas Mummers have practised sympathetic magic to achieve the same result. Following the struggle between the two hero figures, representing the fight between the forces of light and darkness, one falls to the ground. Also Shem and Shaun ref??

Joseph Campbells take on this section is that the Janitrix in the museum transforms into a bird and moves through the twilight gathering relics (after the battle when its quiet?). Also refers to widowed Isis gathering the fragments of dismembered husband Osiris.

How bootifull and how truetowife of her, when strengly fore-bidden, to steal our historic presents from the past postpropheti — cals so as to will make us all lordy heirs and ladymaidesses of a pretty nice kettle of fruit. She is livving in our midst of debt and laffing through all plores for us (her birth is uncontrollable), with a naperon for her mask and her sabboes kickin arias (so sair! so solly!) if yous ask me and I saack you. Hou! Hou! Gricks may rise and Troysirs fall (there being two sights for ever a picture) for in the byways of high improvidence that’s what makes life-work leaving and the world’s a cell for citters to cit in. Let young wimman run away with the story and let young min talk smooth behind the butteler’s back. She knows her knight’s duty while Luntum sleeps. Did ye save any tin? says he. Did I what? with a grin says she. And we all like a marriedann because she is mer-cenary. Though the length of the land lies under liquidation (floote!) and there’s nare a hairbrow nor an eyebush on this glau-brous phace of Herrschuft Whatarwelter she’ll loan a vesta and hire some peat and sarch the shores her cockles to heat and she’ll do all a turfwoman can to piff the business on. Paff. To puff the blaziness on. Poffpoff. And even if Humpty shell fall frumpty times as awkward again in the beardsboosoloom of all our grand remonstrancers there’ll be iggs for the brekkers come to mourn-him, sunny side up with care. So true is it that therewhere’s a turnover the tay is wet too and when you think you ketch sight of a hind make sure but you’re cocked by a hin.

Bootifull: booty, beautiful
Livving: Liffey, ALP
all plores for us: ALP. WIKI pluere: (Latin) to flow → the flow of the river Liffey, identified in FW with ALP → and perhaps also ALP's menstrual flow (suggested by uncontrollable birth in the same line) plorare: (Latin) to cry, weep, wail → contrasted with laughing in the same line
so sair!: Sarah in old testament
and I saack you. Hou! Hou!: Wiki : Isaac: Biblical character, the son of Sarah (see sair and solly) and the patriarch Abraham; in Hebrew "Isaac" means "God has laughed" (see Genesis 21:6), which echoes laffing two lines above and anticipates Hou! Hou! in the same line
Gricks may rise and Troysirs fall: Pricks my rise and trousers fall, Greeks and Trojans
there being two sights for ever a picture: 2 sides to every story
makes life-work leaving: makes life worth living

Though the length of the land lies under liquidation (floote!) and there’s nare a hairbrow nor an eyebush on this glau-brous phace of Herrschuft Whatarwelter: Images of the Flood via German and Norse.

hair ... eyebrows: in Nordic mythology, after the Universal Flood Ymir’s body became the world, his hair became the trees, and his eyebrows became the grass and flowers. Does this also refer to Finnegan’s body being part of the landscape?
she’ll loan a vesta and hire some peat and sarch the shores her cockles to heat and she’ll do all a turfwoman can to piff the business on: two images in this section> one is the flood and the other is the woman (ALP?) lighting a fire/eternal fire: vesta: a match, Vesta: Roman goddess of the hearth, celebrated with an eternal flame → hence the word vesta, meaning "match", and vestal virgins, who tended the eternal flame → introduces images of a woman tending a fire with a bellows.
Piff Paff Onomataopeiac sounds like tip tap earlier

And even if Humpty shell fall frumpty times as awkward again in the beardsboosoloom of all our grand remonstrancers there’ll be iggs for the brekkers come to mourn-him, sunny side up with care: back to the idea of Finnegans body as feast for the mourners, meal prepared by the woman ( ALP?), also Humpty Dumpty fall image, The Grand Remonstrance: WIKI> a statement of abuses giving an account of royal mismanagement and recommending radical reforms; it was produced by Parliament and presented to Charles I in 1641, monstrance: an ornamental receptacle in which the consecrated host is exposed in Catholic churches
So true is it that therewhere’s a turnover the tay is wet too and when you think you ketch sight of a hind make sure but you’re cocked by a hin: mixture of food and sexual imagery. Hind, wet, turnover and cocked, then also The tea is wet (Irish expression the tea is ready).

Then as she is on her behaviourite job of quainance bandy, fruting for firstlings and taking her tithe, we may take our review of the two mounds to see nothing of the himples here as at else-where, by sixes and sevens, like so many heegills and collines, sitton aroont, scentbreeched ant somepotreek, in their swisha-wish satins and their taffetaffe tights, playing Wharton’s Folly, at a treepurty on the planko in the purk. Stand up, mickos! Make strake for minnas! By order, Nicholas Proud. We may see and hear nothing if we choose of the shortlegged bergins off Corkhill or the bergamoors of Arbourhill or the bergagambols of Summerhill or the bergincellies of Miseryhill or the country-bossed bergones of Constitutionhill though every crowd has its several tones and every trade has its clever mechanics and each harmonical has a point of its own, Olaf’s on the rise and Ivor’s on the lift and Sitric’s place’s between them. But all they are all there scraping along to sneeze out a likelihood that will solve and salve life’s robulous rebus, hopping round his middle like kippers on a griddle, O, as he lays dormont from the macroborg of Holdhard to the microbirg of Pied de Poudre. Behove this sound of Irish sense. Really? Here English might be seen. Royally? One sovereign punned to petery pence. Regally? The silence speaks the scene. Fake!
So This Is Dyoublong?
Hush! Caution! Echoland!
This section seems to be set in Phoenix Park and has musical overtones (as it were) and also references to hills, and Gullivers Travels.
Behaviourite job of quainance bandy: favourite/ behaviour of bandying with acquaintances. WIKI: On the job > slang for having sex. Queen Anne’s Bounty: a fund to provide for the maintenance of poor clergymen in the church of England; it was created in 1703 out of first fruits and tenths (hence the following allusions the Hen fruting for firstlings and taking her tithe) .

fruting for firstlings and taking her tithe: tithe: a tenth part, especially the tenth of the produce of land and stock paid as a tax to the Church; first fruit
The two mounds to see nothing of the himples here as at else-where: Could be either, HCEs arse, the shape of HCE and ALP lying side by side, or my choice, the shape of Howth Head and Chapelizod where the giants feet are (and Phoenix Park in the middle), OR WIKI nipples → beneath visible areas of the breasts, they are hidden by the clothing ("we may take our review of the two mounds to see nothing of the himples") → preceding references to women's clothing ("in their swishawish satins and their taffetaffe tights"), this and the words "two mounds" seems to refer to two breasts and nipples. OR it could be ALL OF THEM at once!!

heegills and collines: Hügel: (German) hill, or HE ( male), Colleen (irish word for girl) and coline (French for hill).
scentbreeched ant somepotreek: Scent and breeches, Saint Patrick brought Xtianity to Ireland. Croagh Patrick mountain in Mayo in the West of Ireland where Catholic pilgrims climb (often in bare feet) on one fortuitous day.

swisha-wish satins: More clothes> WIKI: ALP and Issy are often associated with things Swiss → land of the Alps for ALP → Issy's room is at the top of the house under the pitched roof, as though she lives high up in the mountains

from the macroborg of Holdhard to the microbirg of Pied de Poudre.: more reference to hills both big and small, pied – feet in French. WIKI > pied de poudre: (French) foot of dust → poudre: (French) gunpowder → the Magazine Fort in the Phoenix Park

Behove this sound of Irish sense.: Gulliver’s Travels, ( giant tied down by little people, asleep) and Jonathan Swift. Behold a proof of Irish sense! from Jonathan Swift's Epigram on the Magazine satirizing the building of the Magazine fort in the Phoenix Park: “Behold a proof of Irish sense! Here Irish wit is seen!

Four things therefore, saith our herodotary Mammon Lujius in his grand old historiorum, wrote near Boriorum, bluest book in baile’s annals, f t. in Dyffinarsky ne’er sall fail til heathersmoke and cloudweed Eire’s ile sall pall. And here now they are, the fear of um. T. Totities! Unum. (Adar.) A bulbenboss surmounted upon an alderman. Ay, ay! Duum. (Nizam.) A shoe on a puir old wobban. Ah, ho! Triom. (Tamuz.) An auburn mayde, o’brine a’bride, to be desarted. Adear, adear! Quodlibus. (Marchessvan.) A penn no weightier nor a polepost. And so. And all. (Succoth.)
So, how idlers’ wind turning pages on pages, as innocens with anaclete play popeye antipop, the leaves of the living in the boke of the deeds, annals of themselves timing the cycles of events grand and national, bring fassilwise to pass how.

Four things therefore, saith our herodotary Mammon Lujius: According to Tyndall, history is recorded by 4 herodotary (hereditary and Herodotus), known as Mammon Lujius, based on Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, authors of the four gospels. Herodotus: Greek, lived in the fifth century BC (c. 484 – 425 BC). He has been called the "Father of History", and was the first historian known to collect his materials systematically, test their accuracy to a certain extent and arrange them in a well-constructed and vivid narrative. The 4 men appear again and again in FW as judges or observers.
bluest book in baile’s annals: Baile means a town in Irish, and the name of Dublin Baile Atha Cliath (pronounced Boll yeh). FW WIKI: the first edition of James Joyce’s Ulysses was published in Paris on 2 February 1922 by Shakespeare and Company. The book had a blue cover with a white title (blue and white being the colours of the Greek flag). It was also considered obscene and banned in many countries, hence blue.
Dyffinarsky: WIKI Dyflin: Norse name for Dublin, found on 11th century coins and in Snorri Sturluson's Norwegian chronicle Heimskringla. Dyfflinarsky: (Old Norse) Dublinshire (Old Norse name for the Norse territory around Dublin)

FW WIKI: 1132 A.D. "Laurence ... O'Toole was born in the year 1132". St Laurence O'Toole was the patron saint of Dublin → Henry II of England, who is often coupled with Laurence O'Toole in FW, was born in 1132. 1132: 1132 = 283 x 4. In the Annals of the Four Masters, the death of Finn MacCool is dated to 283 A.D. 1132 feet per second: the speed of sound in air. 32 feet per second: acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth, and therefore an integral part of the law of falling bodies → symbolic of the Fall of Man, it recurs throughout Ulysses as well as FW. 11: in the denary system of numbers, 11 represents the beginning of a new cycle,ie related to Vicos cycles. (WOW did Joyce really mean all of this and condense it into just one number??)

A scribicide then and there is led off under old’s code with some fine covered by six marks or ninepins in metalmen for the sake of his labour’s dross while it will be only now and again in our rear of o’er era, as an upshoot of military and civil engage-ments, that a gynecure was let on to the scuffold for taking that same fine sum covertly by meddlement with the drawers of his neighbour’s safe.

1132 – this number seems to recur a lot in FW, and 566 its half. FW WIKI: 1132 A.D. "Laurence ... O'Toole was born in the year 1132". St Laurence O'Toole was the patron saint of Dublin → 1132: 1132 = 283 x 4. More detail in para above

Sylvan /oak = possibly the Phoenix Park. Guiness is good for you.
