What a great line from Ulysses, and a perfect title--is that for your novel or a short story or something else?

Woke up. Nursed baby. Changed baby's diaper. Went to church. Went to brunch. Went home. Napped while baby napped. Did other (unmentionable) things with boyfriend while baby napped. Got up. Nursed baby. Changed baby's diaper. Bought food. Cooked food. Nursed baby. Ate food. Nursed baby. Changed baby's diaper. Drank margaritas made by boyfriend. Surfed web. Read Caterina's blog. Said to self, "Damn, she does more before 8 AM than I get done in a WEEK!" Maybe tea instead of margaritas is the answer...

My dad gave me that Lewis Hyde book a few years ago -- it was a great inspiration to him (he's an economist who specializes in socially responsible investing).

It bothers me that "clip" and "clasp" are synonyms. Shouldn't each verb advance the plot, so to speak? Obviously Joyce knew what he was doing; I just wish I did.

Sarah, the main difference between your weekend and my weekend is probably...baby? You deserve accolades for that. Mothering is underaccoladed.

I found the clip/clasp annoying too. Maybe Joyce was just unable to resist the pleasant echo? Seems like if there is going to be sunder, less emphasis should be going into the clip/clasping.

(Yeah, and Sarah: thanks a lot. I'm trying to convince someone that having a baby'd be a good idea over here ... if you need to list baby-related tasks (which, after all, I'd be doing anyway) at least spend some time going over the wonderfulness of it all.)

My only question: where is Caterina.net's connoisseur's guide to tea and teas?

Odd. I found the clip/sunder synonymy (STILL illegal in GA!) more the annoying.

Hmmm. I'm not familiar with this reference, but couldn't it mean 'clip' as in 'snip' or 'shorten'? Maybe our take on clip is a more contemporary or North American usage.

This line is from the Oxen of the Sun episode in Ulysses, in which Bloom is at a birthing hospital, and the language employed traces the evolution of English from its roots through the modern colloquial slang of Joyce's day.

This is in the beginning section, so it's probable Joyce was using its more archaic sense, here, from the OED:

1. a. trans. To clasp with the arms, embrace, hug. (arch. and dial.)

Another, vernacular meaning for clip is 'to steal.' Akin to nick or rip off.

It seems to come at the right point in the life cycle to have that meaning too.

Jim, don't let the perfume of the books distract you from the stench of the credit card bills (and the miserable heaving of the overburdened bookshelves...)
