Rotting and fermentation, two economically important processes associated with fungi, appear together in this, the third sentence of the Wake.

One day in 1966, Tim Leary popped into the Playboy office and the Numerologist and the Mad Scientist lunched together. I had recently found quite a few references to "Leary" and "LSD" in Finnegans Wake and asked Tim what he thought of that. He replied that Leary is a common Irish name and LSD in Ireland means "pounds, shillings, pence." - Robert Anton Wilson LSD: Ad majorem l.s.d.! Divi gloriam. A darkener of the threshold. Haru?

had  happens four times  in the first page and in 364 lines  in the entire book. Crowley says "Had! The manifestation of Nuit." in the first line of his Liber AL vel Legis. Had is Hadit and Horus in "James Joyce's Book of the Dead", as Joyce himself called FW: Horus is the sky god that announces a new day through his name, "had". The Wake abounds in references to Crowley , probably because Crowley wrote a very positive review of Ulysses called "The Genius of Mr. James Joyce". Crowley constantly referred to Enochian magic, and in the Book of Enoch we read: "12. And the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity; but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days."  The word 'had' happens for the first time as "had passencore arrived". Notice that the syllable "pa" didn't appear on the first draft version (...

I've always felt FW translations tried to tame the book somehow. After succeeding at punning with two or three possible meanings for a word, the translator usually leaves the others outside his work even if he knows they were there in the original. So I've conceived of the following trick to translate the Wake: whenever I cannot put any more meaning into the words, I draw them. Above you read the book's most famous words, " riverrun, past Eve and Adam's " written in Elian script. I translated them into Portuguese as "reverrio, passadelos eva e o ádamas". Reverrio does quite well for the German Erinnerung ( rever means "to see again" ), but it does not convey that riverrun sounds kinda like river-Ann and reminds us of ( well, at least insomniac FW scholars do ) a well-known passage in Kubla Khan: "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan/ A stately pleasure-dome decree:/ Where Alp h, the sacred river, ran ". Well, besides of the fact that my ...

So alike, and so different from the rest of Western literature, are the Marriage and the Plaint and the Wake, it is as if there have been three Wakes -- the first two in Latin. A mysterious cyclic coincidence emerges once the basic similarities of the three works strike the attention, one that might have delighted Joyce, though I have not yet found a direct reference to it in Finnegans Wake. Martianus wrote De nuptiis in the fourth century; Alan, De planctu in the twelfth; Joyce, the Wake in the twentieth. Evidently, Dame Literature serves us a 'book like this' every eight centuries. What to make of that ? I don't know, beyond reassuring Mr. Eliot that the next one will be some time coming. - Eric McLuhan Fourth century, fall of the pagan mind. Rise of the monastic mind.
