Echos

His slim hand with a wave graced echo and fall...

​

He hummed, prolonging in solemn echo the closes of the bars...

​

What echoes of that sound were by both and each heard?

By Stephen:

Liliata rutilantium. Turma circumdet.

Iubilantium te virginum. Chorus excipiat.

By Bloom:

Heigho, heigho,

Heigho, heigho.

​

the anticipation of warmth (human) tempered with coolness (linen), obviating desire and rendering desirable: the statue of Narcissus, sound without echo, desired desire...

 

James Joyce | Ulysses
