b'We have to abandon Fitzgerald because time is short, so mainly on to\\xa0Modern Love, with some context, then Hopkins\'s "Binsey Poplars," Swinburne (and Buck Mulligan quoting The Triumph of Time\\xa0in\\xa0Ulysses), and an intro to "The Garden of Proserpine," via Spenser\'s "Garden of Adonis" in\\xa0The Faerie Queene\\xa0(which I discussed a little while ago here), and Milton\'s account of how Eden is even greater than the fair field of Enna where Persephone gathering flowers by gloomy Dis was gathered.'
