I rented 8 acres after the owner died. A big load of cow dung has built up behind the cowshed. Great rank dung. I needed to spread it on the big field behind the hill. It has to be partly done by hand, with a grape (4 pronged fork). Due to inaccessibility. The days are short this time of year, but strangely enough the nights are long. I found a copy of a big book with fine print under the leg of a table in the the old vacant house on the plot of land I rented. The name is "ULYSSES" by a lad called James Joyce.
Some said it's a famous book, I never heard about it in the Farmer's Journal. Dessie Quarrellsome says it's a hard read and I suspect at last we found something to agree on. I have to admit, I have already read the first 2 episodes and am just starting Episode 3. I thought I would waddle through the first few pages and throw it there. Maybe I still will.
Now, I know (from seeing TV programmes) a bit about it. You will know Joyce uses Homer's Oddesy as its base and that there was a film on RTE a few years ago about Homer's work. That was before the Greens got their hands on the Broadcaster and ruined it. I already posted a bit on the Stingjack thread.
I hope I'm not labelled arty farty. I am banned from the Trump gets caught, the Immediate repercussions of President Donald Trump and the Politics.ie is unsustainable. Thread. That's life, I think I will soon be banned completely, I think Ulysses will be more than Administration can take. I might as well go out with a bang.
Does anyone know anything about Ulysses? or Joyce? With the permission of all my readers, I will update as I go along.
