Quote: 
Moving through the air high spars of a threemaster, her sails brailed up on the crosstrees, homing, upstream, silently moving, a silent ship.
Text: 
Joyce revisits the crosstrees in Stephen's internal mocking of the Apostles' Creed in Scylla and Charybdis (http://www.infiniteulysses.com/ulysses/189), and this silent ship, the threemaster Rosevean from Bridgwater with bricks, is mentioned at various times as well, including in Eumaeus (http://www.infiniteulysses.com/ulysses/580).

Time’s livid final flame leaps and, in the following darkness, ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppling masonry.

I hear the ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppling masonry, and time one livid final flame.
Text: 
A Blakean vision destined to recur in Stephen's day, here in apocalyptic combination with the fall of Troy and of local autonomy to the encroaching Roman Empire (e.g., Pyrrhus). See also passage in Proteus http://www.infiniteulysses.com/ulysses/43 and, most dramatically, in Circe http://www.infiniteulysses.com/ulysses/542
