Subject: Tarentine sail and Tarentus
PS:
Vanīs legs are indeed like a "tarentine sail"
in ADA whereas in the lecture on Joyce VN
describes how S. Dedalus quizzes
his students about Tarentus ( and a Pyrrhean victory...)
This is no coincidence.
It seems that VN is teaching us
then how we should now read his own future novel, ADA, with
all its intra and intertextual references and synchronic images!
I have to read ADA all over again, always a very
exciting prospect.
Or retrospect, if I remember well
Professor Pninīs own lectures...
