Much as brave Jason by the
Colchian
shore,
Through magic arts won the Golden Fleece,
Sowing the plain with the old serpent's teeth,
To engender soldiers from the furrow's store,
This city, that in youthful season bore
A Hydra's nest of warriors, raised a yeast
Of brave nurslings, who their proud glory saw
Fill the Sun's mansions, to the west and east:
But in the end, lacking a Hercules
To vanquish so fecund a progeny,
Arming themselves in civil enmity,
Mowed each other down, a cruel harvest,
Reliving thus the fraternal harsh unrest
Which had blinded that proud seeded army.

In 1936 when Bloom would be 70 and Stephen 54
their ages initially in the ratio of 16 to 0 would be as 17 1/2 to 13
1/2, the proportion increasing and the disparity diminishing according
as arbitrary future years were added, for if the proportion existing in
1883 had continued immutable, conceiving that to be possible, till then
1904 when Stephen was 22 Bloom would be 374 and in 1920 when Stephen
would be 38, as Bloom then was, Bloom would be 646 while in 1952 when
Stephen would have attained the maximum postdiluvian age of 70 Bloom,
being 1190 years alive having been born in the year 714, would have
surpassed by 221 years the maximum
antediluvian
age, that of Methusalah,
969 years, while, if Stephen would continue to live until he would

But his most daring orna-
mentation lies in his wholesale introduction of recondite knowledge;
he draws similes from folklore, medicine and magic, above all from
the Natural History of Pliny, and this mixture of quaint device
and naïve science
resulted
in a style which appealed irresistibly
to his contemporaries?

stone in the bladder Mr Blifil- Gordon was now m Parliament, a docile
deadhead on the back benches of the Conservative Party Old Mr Tombs had
died just after Christmas, and Miss Foote had taken over seven of his cats and
made heroic efforts to find homes for the others Eva Twiss, the niece of Mr
Twiss the ironmonger, had had an illegitimate baby, which had died Proggett
had dug the kitchen garden and sowed a few seeds, and the broad beans and the
first peas were just showing The shop-debts had begun to mount up again
after the creditors’ meeting, and there was six pounds owing to Cargill Victor

Dorothy went into the conservatory She had got a big job on
hand-costumes for a pageant that the schoolchildren were gomg to have on St
George’s Day, in aid of the organ fund Not a penny had been paid towards the
organ during the past eight months, and it was perhaps as well that the Rector
always threw the organ-people’s bills away unopened, for their tone was
growing more and more sulphurous Dorothy had racked her brams for a way
of raising some money, and finally decided on a historical pageant, beginning
with Julius Caesar and ending with the Duke of Wellington They might raise
two pounds by a pageant, she thought- with luck and a fine day, they might
even raise three pounds*
She looked round the conservatory She had hardly been in here since
coming home, and evidently nothing had been touched during her absence
Her things were lying just as she had left them, but the dust was thick on
everything.

Eliot - Rhapsody on a Windy Night |

Through a
remarkable disruption of both these primitive
artistic impulses, the ruin of Greek tragedy seemed
to be necessarily brought about: with which
process a degeneration and a
transmutation
of the
Greek national character was strictly in keeping,
summoning us to earnest reflection as to how
closely and necessarily art and the people, myth
and custom, tragedy and the state, have coalesced
in their bases.
