John Conmee, reverend. Is aware of God but not of THE snobbery his own soul harbors. Corny Kelleher spits a wad of juice. Somewhere a CAVALCADE readies. The juice is caught by a hand at the window that flings it back as a coin. A coin that lands in the hands of a minstrel who is OBSERVED by two children. He is one-legged. But he stands their gawking. Katy and Boody are hungry. There are shirts and soup. BY god, but not by their brother or father, they eat. They are children of Daedalus without wings—they'll live. A stinky hungry invalid wants perfumes and fruit. The PARALLAX seeker cannot send them. He is busy with books. Boylan sends them with love. Stephen and maestro Artifoni chat about music. Nothing BECOMES of this except Artifoni missing his tram. Face the music. Romance dreamer Miss Dunne types: sixteenth June, NINETEEN o four. She wonders of tonight, of skirts, of a phone that rings—oh my, it's her boss. Boylan. Ned Lambert tour guide to St. Mary's abbey, resurrects WORLDS long gone. His companion is reverend Love. Bloom the pinprick? Leneham, brags to M'coy about a tell-ALL moment he had with Molly while Bloom spoke about the stars. So no, it's Leneham the prick. Afraid to see the truth, the smuttiness of Sweets of Sin LENSES his eyes with the right prescription to see what his marriage has become: a cheap plot.
Dilly asks her mean-mouthed father for money. His insults STACKED upon her, how can she straighten her posture if he is the burden maker? Mr. Kernan, glowing with gin, gazes UPON the spot where a certain Emmet was hanged and quartered. Cavalcade pa**es. Misses it. His mind his mistress (he doesn't realize it) Stephen is ANOTHER cuckold. Future and past make love to his thought but never the present: And his sisters suffer. Simon Daedalus has the hounds of debt gnawing at his INSIDE. Ben Dollard to the rescue. The two argue. Ben Dullard and Daedalus. The latter has wings. Haines and Buck discuss the absent Stephen. They make A prophecy: Stephen won't be a poet. They blame Stephen's love for hell. Dante laughs. With a name long enough to trip and blinded by the KALEIDOSCOPE of Dublin life, Cashel Boyle O'Connor Fitzmaurice Tisdall Farrell knocks down a blind man. Martin Cunningham, but nothing cunning, makes sure THAT Dignam's boy is taken care of in the future. Among the helping names: Bloom. A shop window faces Master Dignam. His reflection SHOWS a mourner not yet accepting. Hopefully his father is in purgatory. The wandering rocks turn as the cavalcade cuts through DUBLIN like Poseidon's chariot, dividing the city's sea, and splashing the onlookers with its presence.
