>Universally that person's acumen is esteemed very little perceptive concerning whatsoever matters are being held as most profitably by mortals with sapience endowed to be studied who is ignorant of that which the most in doctrine erudite and certainly by reason of that in them high mind's ornament deserving of veneration constantly maintain when by general consent they affirm that other circumstances being equal by no exterior splendour is the prosperity of a nation more efficaciously asserted than by the measure of how far forward may have progressed the tribute of its solicitude for that proliferent continuance which of evils the original if it be absent when fortunately present constitutes the certain sign of omnipollent nature's incorrupted benefaction.

Oxen of the Sun is very funny but I felt pretty exhausted after finishing it for the first time. I never understood why people skip it. There feels like a tension in there with the prospect of childbirth too.

For who is there who anything of some significance has apprehended but is conscious that that exterior splendour may be the surface of a downwardtending lutulent reality or on the contrary anyone so is there unilluminated as not to perceive that as no nature’s boon can contend against the bounty of increase so it behoves every most just citizen to become the exhortator and admonisher of his semblables and to tremble lest what had in the past been by the nation excellently commenced might be in the future not with similar excellence accomplished if an inverecund habit shall have gradually traduced the honourable by ancestors transmitted customs to that thither of profundity that that one was audacious excessively who would have the hardihood to rise affirming that no more odious offence can for anyone be than to oblivious neglect to consign that evangel simultaneously command and promise which on all mortals with prophecy of abundance or with diminution’s menace that exalted of reiteratedly procreating function ever irrevocably enjoined?

>the IFL science character is also a cuck
did Joyce predict the modern redditor or have guys like that existed since the dawn of time?
>>
>>25199993
There’s a character sort of like this in Rabelais’ Gargantua who is a student who uses extremely complex, Latinate phrases to say nothing of any particular value.

CZECH’D!!!!
Rabelais dare I say… is pretty much proto Joyce but somehow better??!

>>25199993
Joyce is the redditor phenotype to a T.

I would need to read the book again definitely but from memory I believe the character is Panurge who is said to know many languages including fake ones he himself invented

It’s been quite a while (like almost 20 years) since I myself read it but I do recall this character. Plus when I first read it a lot went over my head though I was in my early twenties at the time. I recall thinking it was probably the best prose fiction I’d ever read up to that point. I can’t very well make that claim again until I reread it.
