This translates in the Wake - with typical Wakean economy - to "Befor! Bifur!" (p. 215, directly after the dam/crutch/hue/cry passage).<br /><br />The passage on 302 is oddly antithetical to the passage on 614; deception, division, dispersion all figure into its content, but surprise, it's also rife with feminine references.<br /><br />So while Anna Livia's womb does provide a stage for unification, it can only do so insofar as it diversifies in equal measure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244755472982220611.post-30350468977210132492015-02-22T06:44:01.517-06:002015-02-22T06:44:01.517-06:00'annastomoses' also includes the river its...'annastomoses' also includes the river itself - Anna (Liffey) and Moses, who was found as a baby by the River Nile.
