The reading stopped at, “a rabbinical philosopher, name uncertain” (17.718).

Catherine Meyer sends an illustration for this blog-entry. She writes that for her (despite the complicated and somewhat confusing biblical and political references to ancient times and contemporary Dublin) “the most painterly scene was A Pisgah Sight of Palestine or The Parable of the Plums” (17.640). About her painting she says:

In Bloom’s kitchen Stephen and Bloom are sitting apart from each other, separated by the plums that are lying on top of each other forming a pyramid.  In the background are Mount Pisgah and Nelson's Pilar.
