BtZ42 Read

[Ray Easton]

I loathe statements about literature of the form "it feels to me like..."  
( pace, Mark -- not aiming at you, but only at myself! ), but I do have to 
say that some of what follows after the dream "feels to me like" the 
beginning of Ulysses.  Felt so my first reading and has every time since.

I cannot figure out why, though -- and the why is what matters.
