  • welcome

    bend of bay features a changing selection of prose, poetry, images and other projects. It takes its name from the opening line of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce:

    riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

    “How far my efforts agree with those of other philosophers I will not decide. Indeed what I have here written makes no claim to novelty in points of detail; and therefore I give no sources, because it is indifferent to me whether what I have thought has already been thought before me by another.”

Cattle

cattle

The Angus and the Highland
both fall under the general
definition of cattle.
Cattle are bovine farm animals
domesticated and raised for
milk, beef or other purposes
such as sport or work.
The male is first a bull calf.
It becomes a bull.
If castrated, a steer.
A steer becomes an Ox.
The female is first a heifer calf.
It becomes a heifer, then cow
These, then, are cattle.

Saltline

saltline

Salt line. V-Speed. The two are similar. Fish can’t cross the salt line and survive. A pilot can’t abort takeoff after reaching V-Speed. V-Speed can be calculated. The salt line can be estimated. But not by fish.

On The Bench

Then two remained with not much to say, with not much to say at all. They sat together, day after day, sometimes side by side and sometimes across from one another, day after day, with nothing much to say, nothing much to say at all. Still they spoke, spoke to one another, spoke day after day. It passed the time. Confirmed each to the other that the other was alive, each to the other. They sat together, and spoke, and heard. They sat and spoke and heard. They sat and spoke and heard and so are content.
