The reading of episode 14 has started and got as far as: “and of the scales of
these serpents they brew out a brewage like to mead” (14.159).
Note that next Thursday, 17 March, due to Fritz Senn's absence the group will not be reading but watching a film.
Catherine Meyer sends this painting for the blog with a note on the process of its making:
not understanding one thing might be a good requirement to try to paint the first few pages of “oxen of the sun”.
With no clear idea in mind I worked my way through dark colours to very shiny ones, wiped and moped till the paper got pulled to pieces, and I was not happy at all with the result.
Not understanding Joyce I looked for some explanation in Frank Budgen's James Joyce and the Making of Ulysses. I wrote down two of his comments and, with this help, I fought my way through to the attached painting.
