Question
This character theorizes a figure who, like God, “remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible… indifferent, paring his fingernails.” This character declares “Aristotle has not defined pity and terror; I have” and uses a wastebasket to illustrate the roles of integritas and claritas in an aesthetic theory he calls “applied Aquinas.” This character retorts that his country is an “old sow that eats her farrow” when (*) Davin declares that “a man’s country” comes before poetry. This character writes of a “eucharistic hymn” in a villanelle that asks, “Are you not weary of ardent ways?” This character asks an “old artificer” to “stand me now and ever in good stead” after resolving to “encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience” and forge the “uncreated conscience of my race.” For 10 points, name this protagonist of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. ■END■
