[The hesitancy/stutter motif in Finnegans Wake]

stutter [fweet-135]
hesitency [fweet-26] [backstory]
hesitancy [fweet-8]

The alpha male is known by his lack of hesitancy.

The classical style in literature is characterised by a lack of hesitancy. Cf freestyle rap

The young writer betrays hesitancy, as does the aging writer.

This cyclical symmetry, old mirroring young, must be deep in FW's structure... yes? (he asked hesitantly)

Stuttering as a sign of guilt
innocent-sin-guilty-disgrace?-forgiveness?

242 "That why he, persona erecta, glycorawman, arsenicful femorniser, for a trial by julias, in celestial sunhat, with two purses, agitating his theopot with wokkleabout shake, rather uncoherend, from one 18 to one 18 bis, young shy gay youngs. Sympoly for infusing up pritty lipidities to lock up their rhainodaisies and be nice and twainty in the shade. Old grand tut tut toucher up of young poetographies and he turn aroundabrupt red altfrumpishly like hear samhar tionnor falls some make one noise." ('the two purses that he carried'; 'He was very particular about his tea, which he always made himself, and in order that it should draw properly he would walk about the room swinging the tea-pot from side to side for exactly ten minutes'; 'always seemed a little unsteady in his gait'; 'he found it impossible to avoid stammering in his speech'; 'he had been himself a great amateur photographer... He always said that modern professional photographers spoilt all their pictures by touching them up absurdly to flatter the sitter'; (of Carroll seeing Isa Bowman drawing a caricature of him) 'suddenly he turned round and saw what I was doing. He got up from his seat and turned very red, frightening me very much. Then he took my poor little drawing, and tearing it into small pieces threw it into the fire without a word'; 'in the society of people of maturer age he was almost old-maidishly prim in his manner')
