001 2 Finnegan Erse Solid Man

From the Finnegans Wake · Book 1 thread on Swerve of Shore, by Brandon Nicklaus.

We are using the 1999 Penguin Classics edition of Finnegans Wake, with an introduction by John Bishop.

We’ll be starting on page 3, from 'of a once wallstraight' -> 'since devlinsfirst loved livvy'

After the thunderword’s climax—a linguistic explosion that shakes the very foundations of time—we find ourselves spinning forward, caught in the ever-revolving cycle of history’s rises and collapses. The fall of Finnegan is already written, but Joyce doesn’t give us just one fall—he gives us all of them.
