Et erant valde bona.\ Hlo! \Bonjour.\ Welcome as the flowers in$4$ 03:041;0441@b | May. 03:041;0441[' ]| Under its leaf he watched through peacocktwittering lashes the 03:041;0442[' ]| southing sun. 03:041;0442@b | I am caught in$4$ this burning scene. Pan's hour, the faunal 03:041;0443@b | noon. Among gumheavy serpentplants, milkoozing fruits, where on$4$ the 03:041;0444@b | tawny waters leaves lie wide. Pain is far. 03:041;0445[Z ]| \And no$2$ more turn aside and brood.\ 03:041;0446[' ]| His gaze brooded on$4$ his broadtoed boots, a buck's castoffs, 03:041;0447[' ]| \nebeneinander\. He counted the creases of rucked leather wherein another's 03:041;0448[' ]| foot had nested warm. 03:041;0448@b | The foot that$6#1$ beat the ground in$4$ tripudium, foot I 03:041;0449@b | dislove. But you were delighted when Esther*Osvalt's shoe went on$4$ you: 03:041;0450@b | girl I knew in$4$ Paris. \Tiens, quel petit pied!\ Staunch friend, a brother soul: 03:041;0451@b | Wilde's love that$6#1$ dare not speak its name. His arm: Cranly's arm. He now 03:041;0452@b | will$1$ leave me. And the blame? As I am. As I am. All or not at all. 03:041;0453[' ]| In$4$ long lassoes from the Cock lake the water flowed full, covering 03:041;0454[' ]| greengoldenly lagoons of sand, rising, flowing. 03:041;0454@b | My ashplant will$1$ float away. 03:041;0455@b | I shall wait. No$7$, they will$1$ pass on$5$, passing, chafing against the low rocks, 03:041;0456@b | swirling, passing. Better get this job over quick. Listen: a fourworded 03:041;0457@b | wavespeech: seesoo, hrss, rsseeiss, ooos. Vehement breath of waters amid 03:041;0458@b | seasnakes, rearing horses, rocks. In$4$ cups of rocks it slops: flop, slop, slap: 03:041;0459@b | bounded in$4$ barrels. And, spent, its speech ceases. It flows purling, widely 03:041;0460@b | flowing, floating foampool, flower unfurling. 03:041;0461[' ]| Under the upswelling tide he saw the writhing weeds lift languidly 03:041;0462[' ]| and sway reluctant arms, hising up$4$ their petticoats, in$4$ whispering water 03:041;0463[' ]| swaying and upturning coy silver fronds. 03:041;0463@b | Day by$4$ day: night by$4$ night: 03:041;0464@b | lifted, flooded and let fall. Lord, they are weary; and, whispered to$4$, they 03:041;0465@b | sigh. Saint*Ambrose heard it, sigh of leaves and waves, waiting, awaiting the 03:041;0466@b | fullness of their times, \diebus ac noctibus iniurias\ \patiens ingemiscit\. To$4$ no$2$ 03:041;0467@b | end gathered; vainly then released, forthflowing, wending back: loom of 03:041;0468@b | the moon. Weary too in$4$ sight of lovers, lascivious men, a naked woman 03:041;0469@b | shining in$4$ her courts, she draws a toil of waters. 03:041;0470@b | Five fathoms out there. Full fathom five thy father lies. At one, he 03:041;0471@b | said. Found drowned. High water at Dublin bar. Driving before it a loose 03:041;0472@b | drift of rubble, fanshoals of fishes, silly shells. A corpse rising saltwhite 03:041;0473@b | from the undertow, bobbing a pace a pace a porpoise landward. There he 03:041;0474@b | is. Hook it quick. Pull. Sunk though he be beneath the watery floor. We 03:041;0475@b | have him. Easy now. 03:041;0476@b | Bag of corpsegas sopping in$4$ foul brine. A quiver of minnows, fat of a 03:041;0477@b | spongy titbit, flash through the slits of his buttoned trouserfly. God 03:042;0478@b | becomes man becomes fish becomes barnacle goose becomes featherbed 03:042;0479@b | mountain. Dead breaths I living breathe, tread dead dust, devour a urinous 03:042;0480@b | offal from all dead. Hauled stark over the gunwale he breathes upward the 03:042;0481@b | stench of his green grave, his leprous nosehole snoring to$4$ the sun. 03:042;0482@b | A seachange this, brown eyes saltblue. Seadeath, mildest of all deaths 03:042;0483@b | known to$4$ man. Old Father Ocean. \Prix*de*Paris\: beware of imitations. Just 03:042;0484@b | you give it a fair trial. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. 03:042;0485@b | Come. I thirst. Clouding over. No$2$ black clouds anywhere, are there? 03:042;0486@b | Thunderstorm. Allbright he falls, proud lightning of the intellect, \Lucifer,\ 03:042;0487@b | \dico, qui nescit occasum\. No$7$. My cockle hat and staff and hismy sandal 03:042;0488@b | shoon. Where? To$4$ evening lands. Evening will$1$ find itself. 03:042;0489[' ]| He took the hilt of his ashplant, lunging with it softly, dallying still. 03:042;0490@b | Yes, evening will$1$ find itself in$4$ me, without me. All days make their end. By$4$ 03:042;0491@b | the way next when is it Tuesday will$1$ be the longest day. Of all the glad new 03:042;0492@b | year, mother, the rum tum tiddledy tum. Lawn Tennyson, gentleman poet. 03:042;0493@b | \Gia.\ For$4$ the old hag with the yellow teeth. And Monsieur*Drumont, 03:042;0494@b | gentleman journalist. \Gia.\ My teeth are very bad. Why, I wonder. Feel. 03:042;0495@b | That$6#2$ one is going too. Shells. Ought I go to$4$ a dentist, I wonder, with that$6#2$ 03:042;0496@b | money? That$6#2$ one. This. Toothless Kinch, the superman. Why is that$6#2$, I 03:042;0497@b | wonder, or does it mean something perhaps? 03:042;0498@b | My handkerchief. He threw it. I remember. Did I not take it up$5$? 03:042;0499[' ]| His hand groped vainly in$4$ his pockets. 03:042;0499@b | No$7$, I did not. Better buy one. 03:042;0500[' ]| He laid the dry snot picked from his nostril on$4$ a ledge of rock, 03:042;0501[' ]| carefully. 03:042;0501@b | For$4$ the rest let look who$6#1$ will$1$. 03:042;0502@b | Behind. Perhaps there is someone. 03:042;0503[' ]| He turned his face over a shoulder, rere regardant. Moving through 03:042;0504[' ]| the air high spars of a threemaster, her sails brailed up$5$ on$4$ the crosstrees, 03:042;0505[' ]| homing, upstream, silently moving, a silent ship.
