• W2087130594 abstract "Dim Starlight on A Little Cloud Tim Conley (bio) With no great certainties, I proffer another burnable offering to the debate about the title of A Little Cloud. Anthologists and editors continue to cite 1 Kings 18:44 without much conviction, though other sources, both possible and implausible, have been suggested. Looking into an unclouded sky, we may see M44 praesepe or the Beehive star cluster, sometimes called the Manger, one of the largest, nearest, and brightest of the galactic star clusters. It is clearly visible to the naked eye, and appears as a nebula, but even an opera-glass will reveal its stellar nature. . . . Praesepe was one of the few clusters mentioned in antiquity, though of course its true nature was not recognized. Hipparchus (130 B.C.) called it a Little Cloud and Aratus (about 260 B.C.) refers to it as a Little Mist. According to R. H. Allen, it appeared on [Johann] Bayer's charts of about 1600 under the designation Nubilum or Cloudy One. 1 Though his name does not appear in any of Joyce's works, Hipparchus is nevertheless of interest to Joyceans: the Athenian is recognized as the father of trigonometry and among the first users of a crude form of parallax. He managed to make a rough but respectable calculation of the distance between the Earth and the moon. This and similar operations can also require the use of a gnomon, another Joyce keyword. While I remain admittedly unconvinced that he had any astronomical or even astrological meanings in mind for his story at the time of its composition, Joyce's enjoyment of the way meanings proliferate a posteriori is most evident in Finnegans Wake, where he is often found revisiting and, as it were, revising his previous words and works. It is thus perhaps more credible to detect the astronomical implication in the following phrase from near the end of II.1: That little cloud, a nibulissa, still hangs isky (FW 256.33). Indeed, the mystery of Little Chandler's cloud still hangs over us. Tim Conley Brock University Tim Conley Tim Conley is Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Brock University. He is the editor of Joyce's Disciples Disciplined and co-editor of the forthcoming anthology from Action Books entitled Burning City: Poems of Metropolitan Modernity. Note 1.
