Abstract
As long as I can remember I have always lived in this house, which is strangely painted blue. I reside on the second floor — nearest to the current of time. It is here that the house may be entered. A staircase leads through the heart of the house joining the third to the second and the second to the first floor. I use the staircase from time to time.
The Vico road goes round and round to meet where terms begin. Still onappealed to by the cycles and unappalled by the recoursers we feel all serene [...]. We only wish everyone was as sure of anything in this watery world as we are of everything in the newlywet fellow that’s bound to follow. (Joyce, 1939, p. 452)
