from Carolyn to the List,
The archives have a number of references to Icarus, including this excerpt from a post from Brian Boyd dated April 26 2004 re: Joyce:
The fall of Stephen Dedalus after the apparent apotheosis of this last lofty flight is made explicit in the library chapter of Ulysses: "Fabulous artificer, the hawklike man. You flew. Whereto? Newhaven-Dieppe, steerage passenger. Paris and back. Lapwing. Icarus. Pater, ait. Sebedabbled, fallen, weltering. Lapwing you are. Lapwing be." (202)
