So glad my reputation precedes me, but I’m still 20 pages to the end of “Circe,” so any punning here now would be … premature.

Thanks, David! And there’s no need to “talk”; reading along is what counts.

I’ve been slogging through this without much to say, but I want to make sure I give props to Kristen on her moderating. Although, I don’t have a lot to say, I’ve been very much enjoying your posts!

As provocative as this episode is and as intimidating and insane. Â O, what a wonderful ride!!

My fave bits to share:

p.560
“Ineluctable modality of the visible.”

p. 591
“My methods are new and are causing surprise. Â To make the blind see I throw dust in their eyes.”

Schmoop was very helpful on thinking the Circe section over as a whole. I don’t have much to add, and I agree that this section was clearer than earlier sections of Circe. Both Bloom and Stephen seem to have some past traumas to deal with, but I very much enjoyed seeing them interact.

Favorite line of the section:
STEPHEN: “Doesn’t matter a rambling damn.” (559)
