yes and all the queer little streets and the pink and blue and yellow houses and the rosegardens and the jessamine and geraniums and cactuses and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower of the mountain yes
Episode 18. The last episode is the stream
of consciousness of Mr. Bloom's wife, Molly.
It is 36 pages long and consists of eight
sentences without periods or commas, with commas only at the end of the fourth
and eighth sentences.
It was past three in the night. the novel is about to end in ten lines.
She recalls Mr. Bloom's proposal of
marriage on the hill of Howth, which was triggered by her desire to decorate
her room with flowers. She remembers the British Gibraltar where she was born and
raised, associating it with the fact that Mr. Bloom said, "You are a
flower of the mountain”.
The Rose Garden would be in Alameda Park in
Gibraltar. (U643.1599)
Ulysses is
based on a motif from the Odyssey. I think Gibraltar is taken because
Odysseus crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to the underworld.
The flowers are the flowers in the
botanical gardens of Gibraltar, the rhododendrons of the hill of Howth, Molly
herself, a mountain flower, and Bloom, whose name means flower.
