My current Kindle read is Trollope's The Warden - you will likely know his diatribe on the press and its godlike character and minions: to wit, The Jupiter and Tom Towers. Do you know if Joyce read Trollope and was he a fan? They live in different literary circles today - Trollope is not as "juicy" as Joyce - but I enjoy the hell out of him anyway.

Speaking of rhymes...I think Bob Dylan is the reincarnation of James Joyce. It's the only way to explain Dylan's precocious perspicacity, ant-establishment musicality, and uber-confidence. I got this vibe after reading Edna O'Brien's Joyce bio. BTW the dates match right up. Thanks for all you do Mr. Delaney.

A slight (Joycean?) slip at 28:57: "...how he knew that Gertrude, *Stephen's* mother, had been an adultress with Claudius."
How I love this podcast!

'Rhymes: two men dressed the same, looking the same, two by two'
I don't see Frank's reading of this as referring to Crawford and Molloy and Luke and Paul in Dante - who are dressed differently.
Isn't this a metaphor for two rhyming words - two men, dressed the same, looking the same?
And the two by two rhyme reminds Stephen of the 'third rhyme' scheme in Dante - again visualised as people - three girls dressed in different colours.

'Your Cork legs are running away wth you'
This is a reference to the comic song 'The Cork Leg', about a runaway false leg:
'Horror and fright were in his face,
The neighbours thought he was running a race,
He clung to a lamp post to stay his pace,
But the Leg wouldn't stay, but kept on the chase
He walked through squares and pass'd each shop,
Of speed he went to the utmost top,
Each step he took with a bound and a hop,
And he found his leg he could not stop!
Then he called to some men with all his might,
"Oh! stop this Leg or I'm murder'd quite!"
But though they heard him aid invite,
In less than a minute he was out of sight
He ran o'er hill and dale and plain,
To ease his weary bones he'd fain,
Did throw himself down--but all in vain,
The Leg got up and was off again!'
You can hear Nelson Eddy sing a geat version on youtube
Cork leg reminds me of a story that Brendan Behan loved. Aparently, after his play Exiles was rejected, Joyce commented,'If I'd given Richard a cork leg it might have been accepted.'
So Behan called his last unfinished play 'Richard's Cork Leg'.

Great job, Frank! And I will go back and study Dante, after your marvelous "plug". In fact, I believe the "sinner" in the Inferno to which you refer, was none other than Francesca da Rimini. She and her lover Paolo were killed "en flagrante delicto" by Paolo's brother, who was her husband. Thus, they never got the chance to repent, and ended up in hell together. There is, some believe, an oblique reference here to Molly's dalliance with Blazes, although the kind and thoughtful Mr. Bloom would never think of murdering the clandestine lovers. So, does destructive Italianate passion wane in the case of our Dubliner, similarly betrayed?
