To Douglas on Finnegan Pages 4, & 485

First And Foremost:

I've Chosen Page 485 from Finnegans Wake. Apologies Shaman on taking your time.

Douglas,

-Suck It Yourself, sugarstick! it's Mine!

Thank you ever so much on not choosing this page/passage. I've selfishly been hoping that you wouldn't see the fun in this section, or had possibly not even recalled what page it was upon, and though I'm tremendously sorry for your wife (yet happy for your child), you do not know how delighted I am in the fact that you found another page to work with! And A Brilliant Page it Is!

In fact, it was an alternative page.

Even more beguiling is that I fell in love (though not in today's commercial induced sense) with the very same line that you have, and for much the same reason, the only difference being I understood far more from the next line, which you have left out.

"Fall if you will, rise you must: and none so soon either shall the farce for the dunce come to a set down secular finish."

And what would the coincidence be that I'd decided upon these lines for my memorization?

But I've changed them now, or at least my recitation lines (I do believe I'll spend such time upon your blogs that I won't be able to forget the lines).

Congratulations on a brilliant pick, good studies, and the best of luck!
