From the end of the last-but-one chapter in Ulysses: 'Sinbad the Sailor and Tinbad the Tailor and Jinbad the Jailer...'. The whole passage in Ulysses tries to present the characters in a cosmic way, suggesting that Bloom's 'orbit' has taken him to the initial place but, at the same time, corroborating how much he has traveled. In FW, however, Joyce conveys that circular orbit to the north-south voyage, that is, the way to Hell (since that is how Australia is portrayed in the Wake), thus the Arabic and then the African references, and also the 'smoothing her down, he baised [...]', yet ALP doesn't seem so willing to take that path: '[...] she ruz two feet hire in her aisne aestumation. And steppes on stilts ever since.'
