  • The quarry and the silexflint suggest HCE silent: Joyce, Letters 13-05-1927 (to Harriet Shaw Weaver - Joyces uses the siglum for HCE interred in the landscape - see FW 006.32)
  • Quare siles: (Latin) why are you silent?
  • silex: (Latin) flint
  • quarry: hunters’ prey
  • Why art thou silent → William Blake, To Nobodaddy: “Why art thou silent & invisible,/ Father of Jealousy?/ Why dost thou hide thyself in clouds/ From every searching eye?// Why darkness and obscurity/ In all thy words and laws,/ That none dare eat the fruit but from/ The wily serpents jaws?/ Or is it because Secresy gains females’ loud applause?”
