First name James, last name Joyce
Make your choice
If you want to stay awake
Stay away from Finnegan
I'll start reading, by page 10
I need to begin again
Much prefer to read of Molly
There's been rumors
Molly Bloom removed her bloomers
Rumors true?
Take a guess
Yes I will
Yes I say
I say Yes
Happy Bloomsday.
Happy Bloomsday.
Starward
Thanks so much for your kind words
Best wishes I'd like to convey
A happy and healthy Bloomsday
Don't let it be troublin'
That we're not in Dublin
Salut! Pour votre santé!
I agree with your opinion of
I agree with your opinion of Finnegan, and Molly's soliloquy is one of the only two parts of Ulysses that I really enjoy (the other is the chapter in the library, in which the Poet, A.E., appears). Molly is one of those characters that a reader "falls in love with," like Beatrice in the Divine Comedy, or Shakespeare's Juliet.
And your last three lines, echoing Molly's conclusion to her soliloquy, are very, very moving, and thus, quite impressive. I applaud this poem!!!!!
