Question

A novel’s final stream-of-consciousness passage frequently intersperses this word with images of a “mountain flower” from Gibraltar and a man whose “heart was going like mad.” For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this final word in James Joyce’s Ulysses. In that novel, Molly Bloom ends her monologue by saying “I said” and “I will” with this word before, between, and after those phrases.

ANSWER: yes [accept “yes I said yes I will yes”]

[10h] In the “Scylla and Charybdis” episode of Ulysses, Stephen says “yes, [this word],” calling it the “Word known to all men.” The Parodist voice from the “Cyclops” episode mockingly uses this word four times in a five-word sentence whose third word is “to.”

ANSWER: love [or loves; accept “Love loves to love love.”]

[10e] This final novel by Joyce frequently repeats words and coined new ones, like “quark.” This challenging novel is titled for an Irish folk song about a service for a dead hard-drinking man.

ANSWER: Finnegans Wake
