Gentle sweet air blew round the bared heads in a whisper. Whisper. The boy by the gravehead held his wreath with both hands staring quietly in the black open space. Mr Bloom moved behind the portly kindly caretaker. Well cut frockcoat. Weighing them up perhaps to see which will go next. Well it is a long rest. Feel no more. Itās the moment you feel. Must be damned unpleasant. Canāt believe it at first. Mistake must be: someone else. Try the house opposite. Wait, I wanted to. I havenāt yet. Then darkened deathchamber. Light they want. Whispering around you. Would you like to see a priest? Then rambling and wandering. Delirium all you hid all your life. The death struggle. His sleep is not natural. Press his lower eyelid. Watching is his nose pointed is his jaw sinking are the soles of his feet yellow. Pull the pillow away and finish it off on the floor since heās doomed. Devil in that picture of sinnerās death showing him a woman. Dying to embrace her in his shirt. Last act of Lucia . Shall I nevermore behold thee?
