 —The most brilliant of all is that story of Wilde's, Mr Best said.
.. . That Portrait of Mr W. H. where he proves that the sonnets were written
by a Willie Hughes, a man of all hues. 
 —For Willie Hughes, is it not? the quaker librarian asked. 
 Or Hughie Wills. Mr William Himself. 
W.H.: whoaml? 
 —I mean, for Willie Hughes, Mr Best said. . . . Of course it's all
paradox. . . . Hughes and hews and hues the colour, but it's so typical the
way he works it out. It's the very essence of Wilde. . . . The light touch.

 His glance touches their faces lightly as he smiled, a blond ephebe. Tame
essence of Wilde. 
I have come to think myself too ignorant of homosexual practice, sensibility,
vocabulary to try to deal with the homosexual theme in FIN. I have been told
that homosexuality in FIN is very ugly; I have been told it is very charming,
exciting. I make out that Mn IN. H. occums in beautiful-bbond-ephebe contexts,
in girl-actmesses-who-ame-boys contexts, but perhaps in other contexts, too.
The likeliest of these is the hues (see Hugh) of the rainbow (see Seven).
See also Wilde, Shakespeare. As poet's patron, Mr WH calls up much play with
Joyce's patron, Miss HIN—see Weaven. +4.4—5 (see INhoyteboyce);

Whaley, Thomas "Buck" (1766—1800)— Dublin eccentric, politician,
gambler, who, for a bet, traveled to Jerusalem and back in 11 months. He
did not go to America, but Edward Whalley (1615— 
 THIRD CENSUS OF FINNEGANS WAKE 
1673), English megicide, did go.

Whalley, Dr John (b. 1653)—Dublin

returned to Dublin. +536.32—33—with Jonah, Jonah Barrington (q.q.v.);

*Wharton, Edith (1862—1937)—American 
 novelist. I think this an unsure identification. 34.10—11 (what's
edith am 
 Ulysses, 196 home). 
Wharton, Thomas, Marquis of (1648— 1715)—author of "Lillibumlemo."
When 
he was viceroy (q.v.), Dublin Castle, O'Mahony says, became "a glorified
tavern and brothel," and in the Phoenix (q.v.) Park was built the Star Fort,
locally known as "Wharton's Folly." It is my impression that in I,i, Joyce
assumes "Wharton's Folly" to be the Magazine (see Wall, Maggies), which erection
caused Swift to say: "Where nothing's left that's worth defense    (FIN 12—
13). 12.23; ?269.12. 
~ Herrschuft—plays about with German Der Herr schuf die Welt 
("The Lord created the world"), with Schuft, "rascal"; Weltherrschaft is
"domination of the wonld." See Letters, 
 I, 248. 12.9. 
Whateley, Richard (1787—1863)— 
Anglican archbishop of Dublin. His celebrated tmact, Historic Doubts Relative
to Napoleon Bonaparte (q.v.), probably has to do with the Museyroom episode.
