the word that came to me was 'concupiscence' ....! I think it reminded me of The Emperor of Ice Cream. pretty words, indeed. am I correct (or at least in the ballpark) in thinking that he's saying that you get a physical reality from taste and scent that you don't get from the things you see? I'm in way over my head here. drowning.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

Moodswung-I've decided against boring anyone with further analysis and am reading this on my own. You are right though, Joyce isn't thwarting religion but making the sensual sacred thus the whole mythical, pagan allusions on which the title and certain parallels have been drawn. It's as fascinating or dull as neo-paganism-nothing too deep about that! You are not in over your head-don't let this intimidate you, it's quite transparent.
