Assigned reading (1 par [] plus 137 notes) [secondary] [McH]

Among the verymany 'editorial' parentheses there's a distinct pattern (with blurry edges) of oneword criticisms with exclamation marks:

49.04 (Zassnoch!) maybe 'sasanach' = Englishman
49.09 (spurious) no exmark
49.32 (cogged!) = fraudulent
51.03 (Not original!)
52.10 (commonplace!)
53.06 (Prigged!)
53.18 (doerehmoose genuane!)
53.20 (letate!) ??
53.21 (imitation!)
54.26 (conventional!)
55.02 (I tell you no story.) ??
55.17 (copied!) FW2 restores exmark
55.29 (repetition!)
58.32 (Terse!)
59.14 (Tart!)
60.22 (Tosh!)
61.27 (Trite!)

FW2: "(then an excivil (out of the custom huts) (retired), (hurt), (under the sixtyfives act)... peajagd)"
FW1: "(then an excivily (out of the custom huts) (retired), (hurt), under the sixtyfives act)"
[JAJ could have nested these deeper if he wanted: ((((()))))]

1st appearance of motif: Archdeacon J.F.X.P. Coppinger [fweet-20]
'FX' is Francis Xavier
Swift and Dodgson were deacons
('Archdeacon' is a common lastname in Cork; c1700 an Archdeacon even married a Coppinger)

Tom, Dick, and Harry motif [fweet-30]
[bouncing... marbled eyes] JAJ sees the marbles as tears

"the clad pursue the bare, the bare the green, the green the frore, the frore the cladagain" (these don't really work as reversed seasons: bare and frore ought both be winter. in keating, 'clad' referred to forests, 'bare' when they were cut down. a solid mystery, then?)

FDV: "The scene was never forgotten for later in the same century one of that little band of factferreters, then an ex civil servant retired under the sixtyfive act, rehearsed it to a cousin of the late archdeacon Coppinger in a pullman of the transhibernian with one still sadder circumstance which is a heartskewer if ever was. For when the archdeacon spoke of it by request all, hearing"
