Episode 2: "History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake."
The analysis in Ulysses on the Liffey is helpful and the notes are interesting for history and theme, but some of the phrases need translation too: the headmaster is always glad to break a lance with Stephen, i.e., joust or spar verbally. Or so I assume.
I am anxious to press on to episode 10 and beyond, because George Lucas has ruined the phrases "episode one," "episode two,"..."episode nine" for me.
