    From the moment I read the first sentence I've been a Joyce fanatic, but I've also seen and understood the vast majority of readers either scratching their heads or dismissing him outright. I get it. But why do I love his work so much? It's weird and dense. One possible reason is the fact that Joyce was disabled, as am I. His eyes gave him grief his whole life, and he was progressively going blind. I have a different disability, but somehow I recognized his disability shaped his language more than anything. I think that is a major key to understanding Joyce, and one that hasn't been explored nearly enough. Ulysses is a book of the senses in general but specifically sight. And it's the preoccupation of a writer who knows his sight is progressively darkening, and he's trying to capture the visible world in all its complexity before it's too late. Behind the comedy is an extreme anxiety and sadness, to be sure. Joyce is laughing at a funeral. And Finnegans Wake I'd suggest is Joyce's attempt to find an alternate sense of perception as his sight was profoundly restricted by that time. Once your senses go, your language changes in proportion.

    The Vrill has a spine in it’s forehead that if they chose can exit and attach to a humans eye. Once the spine has dislodged itself from its original body, that body dies. It imbeds itself into the brain of the human and kills them. The vrill takes over the human body like a parasite and continues to live and control the human body. If you look into the history of famous people, most of them come out with black left eyes. They’re very proud of their black guy, and this is because they have become the Vril.

    I think that's a prime example of iconic music not being appreciated in it's time and if Hollywood made accurate movies set in the 90's, you'll see our lead character listening to monks chanting. But I guess that's a fad for you, it's everywhere at one time and then it's like it never existed at all no matter how much you look to prove it. Unless it's the macarena, now that was captured on almost every vhs recording of the 90's.
