* '''Wyndham Lewis:''' British author and literary critic. His ''Time and Western Man'' (1927) is highly critical of ''Ulysses'' for being a time-centred work. Lewis regarded the three dimensions of space as real in a Platonic sense, whereas time, with its fleeting Heraclitean quality, was illusion. Joyce responded by making Lewis a primary model for Shaun in ''Finnegans Wake''. This paragraph was heavily influenced by ''Time and Western Man''. * '''windy noise:''' This refers back to '''the skirling of harsh Mother East''', that is, the shrill sound of the harsh east wind that almost drowns out the ringing of the Angelus during HCE and the Cad's encounter in the Phoenix Park (FW 035.29-30). * '''windy nous:''' "And the spirit (nous) of God was hovering over the surface of the waters."
