I would like to talk about the actual contested issue in literary criticism of whether or not it is implied that Blazes Boylan's secretary, Ms Dunne, is the "Martha" that Leopold Bloom sends letters to as Henry Flower, since if he's using a pseudonym, what's to say she isn't? This of course being implied by the curious fact that she is, geographically, exactly halfway between where Stephen and Bloom are said to be at a certain moment in the chapter Wandering Rocks, writing a letter.

Which would be a brilliant detail to hide in, because Boylan, of course, is also fucking Bloom's wife.

This will be met with and responded to, of course, because we actually discuss books that we read here.

I'm absolutely nodding my head in agreement at the sensibility of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image and it's right. Naturally of course you were already aware of this and you are not posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post and it's still absolutely correct. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat as well.

Hey guys, sorry if this post ends up being too long but I really need to write this somewhere. I've been struggling with depression for 5 years now since I was in high school and couldn't do shit in school although I have always ambitioned to be a writer but lately there is a lot on my mind and I can't think straight though I always have all these great ideas for all sorts of stuff that are actually really relevant and important but if I could just sit down and write my thoughts down I swear I'd win easily a noble prize for all of it topics ranging from psychology linked with sociology to physics etc. and it's all very original based on my observations of social phenomena around me and I always try to tie it down with philosophers and past work that I've read including the observations of other writers such as hemingway joyce etc. and even david waster fallacy which wrote if I recall correctly that "writers are lurkers" basically I just think this sort of critical awareness has always been a very great natural gift of mine and I'd like to start writing down my observations so I could help people solve all sorts of political dilemmas and social problems that to me have such obvious solutions and even all sorts of personal issues and problems stemming from sheer irrationality that I just hope I could just write it all down and make some coherent observations. My problem is that I always think way ahead of others and it's hard to slow my thought to the standards of those who have lesser thought capacities be it merely because they don't have the time to engage in critical awareness or whatever but mostly I'm just here to seek advice on how to make myself not articulate, because I already have great thought capacity and great power of analytical and logical thought and awareness, but how to make myself useful to others without having to sacrifice the integrity of my trains of thought because if I tone it down so to speak then it might be to no avail because my thoughts are valuable because they are very complex and practical but if I slow it down or simplify they lose their power. It is this problem alone that has caused my depression for the past five years, I have been on meds because I can't convince my parents that I am a genius although I have been reading philosophy for the past 14 years (I'm 22 years old, male, U.S.) and things have been hard. Anyone knows how to write in ways people can understand?
