Enclosed within a very long sentence (see ST1) the above line describes, on one level, the monument to Samuel de Champlain1, 17th century explorer and cartographer, atop Nepean Point, overlooking the Rideau Canal where it steps down to the Ottawa River, Ottawa. The sentence is constituted of 680 words however the density of these words and passage, as well as the echoes farther afield, are vast. The “:” technique which Joyce uses, in this sentence, appears to allow a change in narrator over a range of subjects, places, and times. In this particular case (550-552), the sentence displays a layering of themes much like Fig. 2, S4. Topo sheet 31G/5, the stack of scribable acetates that were Ottawa. used in creating a topographical (Ordnance Survey) map during the last century: separate layers for relief (contour lines mimicking hills, ravines and so on -- natural or man-made); drainage (rivers! lakes, bogs, estuaries...); vegetation; settlement (towns, mines, military installations...); transportation (railways, roads...); cultural features (edifices, monuments, historical landmarks...); and coordinates (Lat. & Long., UTM); reference marks for alignment before photographing; much like separate Ukiyo-E wood blocks for each colour are aligned on reference points to produce one print).

I mean to review the part of the sentence contained by page 551 (see ST1) in relation, mostly, to the colossus theme of Finnegans Wake2, of which Champlain is a member. I‘ll be working with several "acetates" loosely applying the cartographic model

I will, regrettably, skip over many enticing echoes and themes and go back and forth within the 680 word sentence with, hopefully more attention to order, time, and space than Joyce has, not without reason, chosen in its writing. I'll reconnoitre the scene, occasionally colouring outside the lines.

The Colossus theme type locality First, a review of the Wake's Colossus theme “type locality”3, a Farnese Hercules, a "cultural feature" in cartographic terms, an imaginary colossus, fixing us in our dreams? alone, along the last edge of the Liffey: Pool Beg Lighthouse, its light shone on us:

“the things that pertained unto fairnesse, this wharom I am fawned on, that which was loost.” (547.05-06);

“on strond of south, with mace to masthigh” (547.20);

“brings us by a Commodius vicus” (003.02).

Here, four pages before 551, in the midst of the W.T. Stead - Eliza Armstrong scandal 4 , we find a Roman sculpture of Hercules, known as the Farnese Hercules after its 16th century owner. This statue of Heracles (he was Greek) and it‘s Greek sculptor Glykon, were adopted by Rome as echoed in “the things that pertained unto“(547.05) deformed from Jesus' "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's". Apparently Joyce sees Hercules on the "strond"/strand with his "mace"/club, very big club, like a mast of a ship! but only waist high for the Colossus and his massive thigh, "masthigh". And at 03.02 "Commodius", the Antonine, Marcus Aurelius Commodus, is also bidding us farewell in the form of Hercules Romanus (Commodus) 5 , as we head out to sea along the Liffey. Commodus would dress up in a lion’s skin and Fig. 3, S5. Farnese’s Hercules. carry a big stick much as the Farnese Hercules is presented. Past Adam and Eve’s and after high Mass: the pagan’s mace! as we head out through "those therrble prongs!“6 (628.05).

Below, in guise of evidence for my association of "Rideau" and the "astrolobe" on page 551, is a tour of Ottawa. Some of the details

Rideau Hall "interloopings, fell clocksure off my ballast: in our windtor palest it vampared for elenders, we lubded Sur Gudd for the sleep and the ghoasts: " (551.01-03)

The King or Queen's official residence when in is the Canadian Governor General's (GG) official home, Rideau Hall... “windtor palast” 7 (551.01). This winter Windsor Palast (Ger. Palace) is kept warm for His or Her Majesty by the Governor General of Canada. Since 1864. Governor General James Bruce, Lord Elgin (Viceroy of India to be), son of the 7th Lord Elgin of the “ampire“ (549.16) of “cut them out of the Parthenon and ship them home” infamy, did not reside at Rideau Hall but was however, instrumental in Queen Victoria's decision to relocate capital, of the then province of Canada, to Ottawa. He and Rideau Hall can be seen here:

"in Wastewindy tarred strate and Elgin's marble halles lamping limp from black to block," (549.14-16)

A little farther along we read:

"she chauffed her fuesies at my Wigan's jewels... in pay- cook's thronsaale she domineered, lecking icies off the dormer panes all admired her in camises: on Rideau Row Duanna dwells," (551.03-06) where "she" may be Queen Victoria warming her guns in her dirty throne room, ruling the Dominion (of Canada), liking (Du. lecker) licking icies (frost) off the gable dormer windows of the Gothic Revival style Parliament.

The Rideau River Although “Rideau (Fr. curtain) Row” suggests a theatre street or the first row of seats in a theater, it can also be rue Rideau, Ottawa, as Roland McHugh8 suggests; a street with large, turn of the (20th) century residences at one end and the CNR train station, Château Laurier CNR hotel, Canadian Parliament etc.. at the other where Rideau Street meets Wellington and Elgin streets at the Cenotaph. “Row” may oarring along the Rideau River or nearby Rideau Canal in which case it is preferable to be on the canal to avert Rideau Falls.9 Then again, “row“ may be an Ottawa, lumber town fight between established Canadien lumberjacks, “sturdy traemen“ (551.13) and Irish navvies, known as shiners/“shinners“10 (552.06) (from Fr. Chêneur, a cutter of oaks or from canal worker's shiny

Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed.). Encyclopædia Britannica Inc. 1911, vol. 5, p. 830. 10 « shinners' rifuge: descent from above on us,” (552.06-07) 3 hats) brought to Canada by Colonel John By in the late 1820s to build the Rideau Canal joining the Ottawa River at Ottawa with the St-Lawrence River at Kingston, . In this mix of ethnic rivalries we also read:

"when open noise should stilled be: did not I festfix with mortarboard my unniversiries, wholly rational and gottalike, sophister agen sorefister, life sizars all?:" (551.27-30)

Are the "sophisters" the Oblate taught from the University of Ottawa just up by motorboat on the encased Rideau Canal (Joyce‘s “erdcloset“ 551.12)?: "mortarboard my unniversiries" (551.28) and the sorefister men of hod. Lastly, row can be "roe", eggs from the sturgeon once plentiful in the Ottawa River.

The city and its canal; "Urbs in Rure"

“my towtugs steered down canal grand, my lighters lay longside on Regalia Water.” (551.22)

"Regalia Water" is tantamount to assigning a plural noun that has no singular to a singular noun that has no plural. Regalia‘s singulars and plurals are more often the Mace and Crown, the royal scissors or the Prince‘s Genitals. Or is it simply a Royal‘s urine. In any case, the “canal grand“ offered access to Ottawa, Queen Victoria’s hid away capital for Canada abutting the rosy, crenulated fringe of the Precambrian Shield where it meets the Paleozoic limestone of the Ottawa Group (See S9) which underlies much of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa valleys. An "Urbs Fig. 4, S6. Little Red in Rure" or city in the country... wilderness Ridding Hood. really; a matter of putting some distance and bush between the seat of Government and a manifestly bellicose United States who could easily attack previous Canadian capitals such as Kingston and Montréal as they attempted during the War of 1812. The canal, built in the 1830s, provided a strategic, alternative route from Montreal, via Bytown (now Ottawa), to Kingston on Lake Ontario; a route that avoided St-Lawrence River ambushers lurking in the woods, in estuaries.

"in littleritt reddinghats and cindery yellows and tinsel and glitter and bibs under hoods: I made nusance of many well pressed champdamors and peddled freely in the scrub: I foredreamed for thee and more than full- maked: I prevened for thee in the haunts that joybelled frail light- a-leaves for sturdy traemen:" (551.08-13)

Is it a, somewhat temporally out of phase, Queen Victoria that we can imagine walking in the forests of her new Dominion in her “littleritt reddinghats”, (551.08) her Little Red Riding Hood, Son 4 petit chaperon rouge; along the Ottawa R., safe from the big bad wolf ("bibs under hoods" 351.09, yum, woof) lurking on the St- Lawrence (also out of phase)? “Stay close to your Duenna11, and far from the “Duanna” (551.06) (St-Lawrence R.), the memories of 1775, 1776, and 1812 are still fresh in My basket." Joyce mentions the St-Lawrence River by its Mohawk12 name Duanna13. "on Rideau Row Duanna dwells" (551.06) shows two, if not, three rivers in a row, in the text as on the map. From the Ottawa River via the Rideau to the St-Lawrence. Note that Joyce chooses the uppercase for Duanna. Joyce also ricochets chaperon or governess (duenna) off of "Duanna" to spark chaperon (Fr. hood and by association Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, Fr. Little Red Riding Hood). Chaperon also occurs on pp. 128.06 and 145.02. The canal was a pet project of the Duke of Wellington and part of the defence of Canada. Wellington also commissioned the Québec City Citadel and several Martello towers where the river narrows under the Château Frontenac. He also built a Martello tower by the Lake Ontario at Kingston (Fort Frontenac). The passage has a rather seedy aspect that echoes the Stead paedophile scandal on p. 551. Furthermore, "well pressed champdamors and peddled freely in the scrub:" and other parts of the passage could apply to Champlain, the military and his Champ de Mars or is it Champ de Venus. Champlain wedded a 12 yr. old14. Although an arranged, possibly morganatic marriage, today he might be seen as a Pédale (Fr. peddle, PD or pederast). As for scrub (bush) there several such allusions in the Wake.

Colossus on the Ottawa River On a lobe shaped promontory, overlooking the Parliament of Canada and the cliff encased opening of the Rideau canal where it lands on the Ottawa River, is a 12 m statue of Samuel de Champlain (1574-1635) sighting down an astrolabe. The statue was created by Hamilton MacCarthy in 1915. The astrolabe15 depicted in the statue, was lost during the 1613 expedition up the Ottawa River only to be found, in the mid 1800s, by a farmer‘s son. It eventually turned up in New York.16 Fig. 5, S1d. Champlain's (“O the hastroubles you lost!”) (190.16). Sure Astrolabe, 1603. you “has troubles” when you lose your astrolabe. Below Champlain's statue (Fig. 1b) the west facing side of Nepean Point a 30 m cliff has been cut into the rock to allow for the tracks of the Grand Trunk Railway to pass from over the

"life sizars all?: was I not rosetted on two stellas of little egypt? had not I rockcut readers, hieros, gregos and democriticos?: triscastellated, bimedallised" (351.29-32).

The stone "life sizar", as colossus? looks on as the Queen? regrets her "rockcut readers": are these statues of readers cut out of rock? or geologists reading the stratigraphy (see S9) of the rock cuts of Nepean Point and the "erd (Ger. earth) closet"(551.25), that is, the Rideau Canal; her heroes, her Greeks (her senators?), and her democratic parliamentarians? also rock cut? But who was "rosette" on two stellas/stelae/stars? The British Museum put its English rose on the stele fragment from Rosetta Egypt. But "two stellas" is likely reference to Egypt's gift to Napoleon; sounds concordial to me. The Rosetta stele is the ultimate rock cut "reader" to my mind ("Ride, Flip, ride" 17 ). The stellas were further analysed by Rosenbloom in "Serapis on the Liffey".18 Then we are taken back to our cities of Ulysses' heroes, Leopold and Molly, from Dublin and Gibraltar (a pillar of Hercules), both cities "tricastelled" in their coat of arms.

Colossi elsewhere Benares (Varanasi) Benares, like Ottawa, another inland city with riverine monuments, is evoked by:

"Vicus Veneris to cooinsight?: my camels' walk, kolossa kolossa! no porte sublimer benared my ghates:" (551.34-35).

in which many of the harbour mouth elements are evident: kolossa (Du. kolossal colossal) echoing colossus, porte/port/door, benared/Benares (Varanasi/ Veneris) and its various ghâtes (stairs and funeral pyres where people are recycled) or to coo in sight of the Pigeon House on the Fig. 6, S10. Benared by Liffey. A vicious cycle this hippo circus the gates of Varanasi. Veneris: I arrive, I see... do I coo? Hump, hump, Colossi! the sublimest of doors be near My gates... whatever.

Grand Pré “evangel of good tidings, om- nient as the Healer's word, for the lost, loathsome and whomso- ever will: ” (551.15)

Certainly, “evangel”, Fr. Évangile New Testament (and gel freeze) or the good tidings, the Good News, the light, the message of Jesus,

However, the Fundy tides of , the world's highest, fall and rise within the long confines of Minas Basin (See S7a), at the feet of Longfellow19 and Hébert's20 Évangeline on the hill. The tides reach up the Shubenacadie River to touch the town of Shubenacadie 21 just N.E. of Lake Shubenacadie. Joyce spells the name "Shoebenacaddie" (551.20-23). Both spellings are transliterations of the Micmac name Sipekne'katik "where the duck patato is plentiful" (Sagitaria latifolia). The Shubenacadie Canal joins Halifax with the Minas Basin and the Bay of Fundy ("Fundally" 551.20). We can see several coats of Joyce applied ebony (Fr. ében) shoe polish in Shoebenaacaddie.

Queen Victoria "And I built in Urbs in Rure, for minne elskede, my shiny brows, under astrolobe from my upservatory, an erd- closet" (351.25)

Be relieved to know that I will ignore the rich literature on the scatological aspect of ALP-Victoria's outhouse-"erd-closet" for now. Rather, one final colossus speculation which only came to me after the reconnaissance data and interpretation during the above exercise (in truth, it hit me when I placed the stamp on the post card above). One of the builder contained in the "I" above may be Queen Victoria who now stands in marble, colossus-like, inside the Parliamentary Library22 (see S6, S6a, S6b), itself a colossus on the edge of Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Urbs in Rure, the city in the country, overlooking the Ottawa River, the Champlain monument, and Her freshly built, by shiny brows, earth closet canal to protect her "minne elskede" her loved loved ones (G., Du., Da.). Palast is well chosen for her Canadian home as her father Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, son of Duke and prince-elector of Brunswick- Lüneburg ("Hanover") Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitzwhose, grandson of Augusta of Saxe-Gotha (sister of Princess something Wolfenbüttel) und so weiter, lived for eight years at Kent House atop the Montmorency cliffs on the St.Lawrence River23.

To Finish The cartographic model I've imposed above difficultly conforms to the time and space of the text on pp. 550-552; it is much too clean and ordered. It needs crumpling, soiling, and renting. Though a good preliminary tool for reconnaissance surveys; it is just not woolly enough for my satisfaction. My most challenging problem is encrassement du texte "amplification without precipitation" (551.19-20) is the ideal; valves are dear and time precious.
