 11. A picture of Shaun (q.v.) in "his know-all profoundly impressive role
for which an ' ever devoted friend'. . . unrequestedly consented to pose...
." (Letters, I, 257—258). The "friend" was Wyndham Lewis (see Ellmann
607; 807.note 63) who did a drawing of Joyce in 1921 (friendly) and in 1927
published "An Analysis of the Mind of James Joyce" (unfriendly), which was
later reprinted in Time and Western Man. Number 11 is Joyce's retaliation
for "An Analysis." Politically, Lewis was a Hitler fancier, anti-black, anti-semitic,
anti-woman, anti-children, and Joyce supposed him to be heading for a clamorous
conversion to Catholicism. Hence Lewis appears in #11 as the Mookse (Pope
Adrian IV) refusing charity to an unbeliever, and in I, vii as an exposer
of the sins of Shem and Ham (q.q.v.). Revising, adding to "Work in Progress,"
Joyce pretty well turned Shaun into Wyndham Lewis, and there could scarcely
be a more vicious portrait of the authoritarian mind—supple, rabid,
and polemic. 
 Shem's question: If a man—Irish rebel, sinnfeiner, homosexual, starving—begs
food for body and soul, will you give it him? (See Dives and Lazarus.) 
 No, Shaun answers and justifies himself endlessly, in the guise of Professor
Jones, for refusing to spare a dime and as the Mookse (q.v.) for his refusal
to save the soul of a brother who will not call him infallible. In a third
story, "Burrus and Caseous" (q.v.), Shaun makes it plain that if he and his
brother are both regicides, he is a noble regicide—Caseous not. 
 "The Mookse and the Gripes," "Burrus and Caseous" are two kinds of brother-battle
and they recur. The first is a strictly male battle in which the battlers
are in love with fighting each other; and, cold to the lures of Nuvoletta
(q.v.), they drive her to drown herself like Ophelia or the Lorelei (q.q.v.).
The second is a struggle for a girl, MargareenCleopatra (q.q.v.), who gets
tired of the fighting and deserts them for Antony (q.v.). 
 Number 11 ends in the context of the Noah (q.v.) story. Japheththe-aryan-supremacist
refuses refuge on the Ark to his brother Shem. Let Shem join Ham (q.v.) already
cast out from civilization. 
 
168.13—14 
 12. Sacer esto? or "Let him be accursed?" It is an ancient religious malediction
which, students of Roman Law agree, is a death sentence by outlawing or other
means. This ritual cursing is a common tag in the Twelve Tables. (Mr Cowan
gave me this information.)
