- W952740381 abstract "Toward the end of the Nestor episode of Ulysses, Mr. Garrett Deasy gives Stephen Dedalus a letter concerning hoof and mouth disease that he want[s] ... to be printed and as soon as possible (U 2.338). At this moment in the text, Stephen's eyes evidently glance down the page of Deasy's pompous and cliche-rid den letter, and a string of fragments follows: May trespass on your valuable space. That doctrine of laissez faire which so often in our his tory. Our cattle trade. The way of all our old industries (U 2.324-26). And so on. In one of the wittier moments in this episode, Joyce allows Deasy to interrupt Stephen's skimming to remark: I don't mince words, do I? (U 2.331). Through the next paragraph, Stephen contin ues to skim, continues, in fact, to mince Deasy's words through the balance of the letter. will return the favor by further mincing Joyce's minced text: Foot and mouth disease. Known as Koch's prepara tion. Serum and virus. Percentage of salted horses. Rinderpest. . . . In every sense of the word take the bull by the horns. Thanking you for the hospitality of your columns (U 2.332-37). Several things are happening here. Most readers will probably conclude that Deasy's language is so bloated that he should have considered mincing some of it himself. Many will deduce that Joyce fragments Deasy's letter to suggest that it is so tediously predictable, for Stephen if not for them, that it does not need to be read in the same completeness and detail as, say, Milly's letter to her father in Calypso, which Bloom reads and rereads for every possible nuance, or Martha Clifford's letter in Lotus Eaters, refrains from which will echo in Bloom's mind throughout the day. Joyce gives us the full texts for Milly's and Martha's letters, yet leaves us only the minced version of Deasy's. But the fact remains that this hoof-and-mouth letter is not predictable or entirely legible for the readers of Ulysses. In its minced text, it con tains a number of non sequiturs that will send most of them to Don Gifford and Robert J. Seidman's Ulysses Annotated, or some other guide, to puzzle out the references to the Galway harbour scheme, perhaps to Cassandra, and certainly to the Emperor of Austria (Li 2.326,329,333-34).1 Joyce's technique here emphasizes the gaps in the text or what Wolfgang Iser calls the blanks,2 rather than promoting in his readers any sense of their easy fill-ability. Joyce leaves them" @default.
