People I have virtually met, Part 7b
James Hogg
Is this construction with "of where" still in common use?
How would you feel about "whereof" in this sentence?
"assented from his opening before his inlookers of where an oxmanstongue
stalled stabled the wellnourished one"
----
[After a lengthy preamble, Taff and Butt, incarnations of Shem and
Shaun, come to the tale of Buckley and the Russian general]
-- That is too tootrue enough in Solidan's Island as in Moltern
Giaourmany and from the Amelakins off to date back to land of engined
Egypsians, assented from his opening before his inlookers of where an
oxmanstongue stalled stabled the wellnourished one, lord of the seven
days, overlord of sats and suns, the sat of all the suns which are in
the ring of his system of the sats of his sun, god of the scuffeldfallen
skillfilledfelon.

Brilliant. But you have completely fucked up my numbering system.

Oh, yes, just yesterday I was assenting to my inlookers of where my
oxmanstongue was stabled.
Hell's bells, Marcus, this is Finnegans Wake!

apposition, not anything like the usual preposition (I'm assuming that
"where ... " is an explanation of "opening"). Anyway, "whereof" is
"of what", not "of where".

To the real Marius: If you ask questions about /Finnegans Wake/ here,
I'm not going to help. Just saying.

Ah, I got caught. Just as I closed my reply, I saw James' name and
thought, "What is that doing there?"
And I really know that Marius' name is Marius not Marcus, but I'm still
apt to confuse them.
I will have to be on my guard for more counterfeits.

Richard can start again at 12 897 548 (with hair spaces).

I really thought you were just continuing the game in the same spirit,
Donna.
As for your comment, "I withdraw all my complaints about H. James", I
must say that I find that the language of "Finnegans Wake" makes me grin
(and even laugh) more than Henry James's. I think I might try once again
to read it. Previous attempts have left my head spinning after half a
page, with the result that I lose the plot. Being thirty years older
now, I ought to be able to understand more of the allusions. I'll try to
resist the temptation to post questions about the book here, though.

Didn't you find the clue in the title? Have you missed your own short
counterfeit piece at the bottom of the page in "Re: People I have virtually
met", 20 November, 12:08 British time? That ought to have put you on your
guard.

I have no excuse.

Oh, yes, it was an honor to be included, thank you. And I loved the idea
of Byron writing Wordsworth. I was a bit taken aback to learn that I
write exclusively in the passive voice, though.
> That ought to have put you on your guard.
Reminds me of the olden days, when trolls lurked behind every corner,
and posts were slathered with double and triple irony. Nerve-wracking,
that was, or should I say nerve-racking?

Don't bother, she's not answering the phone.
I don't use hair spaces these days. My hairdresser told me I look better
without the part.
