WHAT PARALLEL COURSES MIGHT ITHACA HAS GORGES FOLLOW COMMEMORATING?

From Ulysses, Episode 17, Ithaca:

What anagrams had he made on his name in youth?

Leopold Bloom
Ellpodbomool
Molldopeloob.
Bollo edoom
Old Ollebo, M. P.

What acrostic upon the abbreviation of his first name had he (kinetic poet) sent to Miss Marion Tweedy on the 14 February 1888?

Poets oft have sung in rhyme
Of music sweet their praise divine.
Let them hymn it nine times nine.
Dearer far than song or wine,
You are mine. The world is mine.


Have a couple of pints (in Ross' case, a few rounds of medical examination) and respond in kind in the comments section. Our names are very anagrammatic.

    OK we'll leave it open for one week. Technology users are defeated by their own shame. Enter as often as you like.
