‘He foresaw his pale body reclined in it at full, naked, in a womb of warmth, oiled by scented melting soap, softly laved. He saw his trunk and limbs riprippled over and sustained, buoyed lightly upward, lemonyellow: his navel, bud of flesh: and saw the dark tangled curls of his bush floating, floating hair of the stream around the limp father of thousands, a languid floating flower.’
Navan Ulysses Reading Group continues apace on Tuesday evening coming, 8th March 2011, between 6:30pm and 8:30pm in Navan Library. This evening we’ll be covering the fifth and sixth chapters of the book, ‘Lotus Eaters’ and ‘Hades’.
Join us as we venture out into the city with Mr Bloom, collect a letter from a secret correspondent, meet a couple of acquaintances, buy some soap and take a bath in the public baths at Lincoln Place. From there we’re off to Paddy Dignam’s funeral, during which a small group of mourners make their way across Dublin to Glasnevin Cemetery, cracking jokes as they go.
Everyone welcome, suggested donation €5.
