‘They would lick their lenses before they would negatise a jom petter from his sodalites.’ Not sure what it means but the sentence structure feels sound.

Avalunch made me feel like I was falling and then suddenly hungry all in the space of pronouncing this word

‘And the world is maidfree’ Joyce’s politics?

‘(You appreciate?)’ is this directed to the reader? Who is the narrator anyway?

Reading gnostic texts, esoteric writings makes me classify Finnegan’s Wake as such. ‘Our breed and better class is in brood and bitter pass’

‘But Sin Showpanza could anybroddy which walked this world with eyes whiteopen have looked twinsomer than the kerl he left behind him?’ This is one of the more accessible sentences

‘Find the fringe for frocks and translace it into shocks of touch with show and show’(hiding sex in plain sight)

Why so many exclamation points and question marks?

‘zawhen intwo’ only when I heard this in my head did I realize it meant sawed in two. Joyce challenges the mechanics of human communication at its most elemental.
