Founded On a Mondegreen (Sort of)
OK, so the Cream song running through my head when I write this blog is not
"Tales of Great Ulysses", but
"Tales of Brave Ulysses" .
Not quite a Mondegreen, but still a misheard lyric. It's all a sham now. However shall I go on?
This blog is beastly dead.
"Tales of Great Ulysses", but
"Tales of Brave Ulysses" .
With tales of brave Ulysses;
how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.

Hi :) I just wanted to say I'm so happy to have found this blog. you're doing a great job! keep it up. I'm also trying to read Ulysses page by page ( honestly, there's no other way to read it,if you want to understand & experience this masterpiece). Your posts have helped me A LOT with my reading. I know it gets frustrating sometimes, I'm sure it'll be worth it! :)) Best of luck!
Thank you for the kind words. I had left this blog for dead some years ago. Perhaps I'll pick it up again now that I have gotten over my embarrassment at misremembering the Cream lyrics.
Well, I hope you do :) your blog helps a lot. Ulysses is especially difficult for me to read. i'm Egyptian. English is not even my first language. Its just really hard.
