Mason & Dixon, p. 349:

>"Facts are but the Play-things of lawyers,—Tops and Hoops, forever a-spin.... Alas, the Historian may indulge no such idle Rotating. History is not Chronology, for that is left to lawyers,— nor is Remembrance, for Remembrance belongs to the People. History can as little pretend to the Veracity of the one, as claim the Power of the other,—her Practitioners, to survive, must soon learn the arts of the quidnunc, spy and Taproom Wit,— that there may ever continue more than one life-line back into a Past we risk, each day, losing our forbears in forever,— not a Chain of single Links, for one broken Link could lose us All,— rather, a great disorderly Tangle of Lines, long and short, weak and strong, vanishing into the Mnemonick Deep, with only their Destination in common."

If you're not again being facetious (I wish you people would just say what you mean! Sarcastic tonality just doesn't tend to work over text.), I'd recommend using the Gifford annotations while reading it (or the New Bloomsday Book if you don't mind sweating the small stuff, but personally, as a stuffy academic, I prefer Gifford), and prior to reading it having read Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, as well as some rudimentary knowledge of Shakespeare, Homer, and Dante. If you REALLY wanna get into it, I'd also recommend looking up analytic articles on each episode There are some pretty interesting ones floating around the web, and ten pages could easily be written for each page of the book.

Definitely read Dubliners and A Portrait first. Gifford also made a companion for each of those, but in my opinion it's really not necessary, unlike with Ulysses. Certainly, Dubliners is a pretty easy read, but immensely enjoyable. A Portrait is Joyce starting to get a bit more experimental, but it's still far, far easier than Ulysses, though again a really great book. I tend to think of the difficulty (perhaps also the quality) of Joyce's major works increasing by powers of ten: Finnegans Wake is ten times harder than Ulysses is ten times harder than A Portrait is ten times harder than Dubliners.

"But Reverend Gwyon remarked to himself that her derelictions from duty had occurred most notably during Easter week of that year: that about eight o'clock on Thursday evening, in the midst of serving his dinner, she was numbly entranced before the kitchen stove; and the following afternoon at three he almost upset her in the dark passage outside his study door, where she stood limbs immobìlely extended before the cruz-con-espejos."
>previous sentence
"In any other native household, her regular absences from her work, or those occasions which found her insensibly rigid before an empty window, or prostrate on the kitchen floor, might have been taken for organic disorders; and, like the Venerable Orsola Benincasa, whose sixteenth-century childhood was visited by innumerable misinterpreted ecstasies, she might have been bruised black-and-blue, pricked with needles, and burned with exposed flames to rouse her."
