WITH A BOW ON TOP, POINTING TO THE PAST Why a bow? Why no arrows? I walk around work looking at arrows all over the floor, pointing me this way and that way, reminding us to #keepyourdistance but while Joyce nor his character Leopold Bloom walk around #dubin with a bow in their hand, like @nicolascage in the 2005 film The Weather Man does, #jamesjoyce took inspiration from ancient times and #ulysses' weapon of choice, where whoever could string the bow would become the new King if Ithaca. Watch out for those arrows as you go about your life today but if you need something to point you in the right direction when reading #joyce then maybe a guidebook will help you. #thegroundhogdaychallenge #ulysses100 #bloomsday #irishliterature #irishblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/CVmnNtJoxif/?utm_medium=tumblr
