This is when he took his moniker of "Ulysses," alluding to the man who fought during a time of two flags, and he had to make them one. Vulpes Inculta's pacification of Dry Wells was a particularly painful moment for Ulysses, though his dedication to Caesar and the flag of the Bull prevented his desertion. Their tribal identity was erased and those who resisted were crucified along the sides of I-40. However, once the Legion's campaign ended in Arizona, Caesar promptly rewarded their aid by breaking the alliance and betraying them the Twisted Hairs were conquered and enslaved just as he had done to all the other tribes of Arizona. His scouting ability was supplemented by his ability to live off the land, having acute knowledge of herbal remedies and medicines. Ulysses was one of the most successful scouts in the Twisted Hairs, traveling vast distances in search of the enemies of both his and Caesar's tribes. Ulysses was once a member of the Twisted Hairs, a powerful tribe in Arizona that forged an alliance with the fledgling Caesar's Legion in 2247, and became its main scouting force during the conquest of Arizona. Now, he longs for crippling both the Legion and the NCR's war efforts, seeing both their ideals and campaigns of expansion as the wrong answers to mankind's future, and to finally settle his old score with the Courier.
These events have made Ulysses obsessed with history and symbols and especially how individuals can impact the former and effectively become the latter. His worldview has mainly been formed by two traumatic events in his past: the loss of his old home to Caesar's Legion and the loss of his new home to the Courier and the New California Republic.
White horses with white frontlet plumes came round the Rotunda corner, galloping. The carriage climbed more slowly the hill of Rutland square. Dwarf’s body, weak as putty, in a whitelined deal box.
Going to dark bed there was a square round Sinbad the Sailor roc’s auk’s egg in the night of the bed of all the auks of the rocs of Darkinbad the Brightdayler.Ī dwarf’s face, mauve and wrinkled like little Rudy’s was. Sinbad the Sailor and Tinbad the Tailor and Jinbad the Jailer and Whinbad the Whaler and Ninbad the Nailer and Finbad the Failer and Binbad the Bailer and Pinbad the Pailer and Minbad the Mailer and Hinbad the Hailer and Rinbad the Railer and Dinbad the Kailer and Vinbad the Quailer and Linbad the Yailer and Xinbad the Phthailer. With hungered flesh obscurely, he mutely craved to adore.”
“Her antiquity in preceding and surviving successive tellurian generations: her nocturnal predominance: her satellitic dependence: her luminary reflection: her constancy under all her phases, rising and setting by her appointed times, waxing and waning: the forced invariability of her aspect: her indeterminate response to inaffirmative interrogation: her potency over effluent and refluent waters: her power to enamour, to mortify, to invest with beauty, to render insane, to incite to and aid delinquency: the tranquil inscrutability of her visage: the terribility of her isolated dominant implacable resplendent propinquity: her omens of tempest and of calm: the stimulation of her light, her motion and her presence: the admonition of her craters, her arid seas, her silence: her splendour, when visible: her attraction, when invisible.”Ī warm human plumpness settled down on his brain. What special affinities appeared to him to exist between the moon and woman? Igor Jurilj in Croatia: The Wandering Rocks episode. Wolfe Tone against Henry Grattan, Smith O’Brien against Daniel O’Connell, Michael Davitt against Isaac Butt, Justin M’Carthy against Parnell, Arthur Griffith against John Redmond, John O’Leary against liar O’Johnny, lord Edward Fitzgerald against lord Gerald Fitzedward, The O’Donoghue of the Glens against The Glens of The Donoghue …” The dead of Dublin arise and appear to many. Birds of prey, winging from the sea, rising from marsh lands, swooping from eyries, hover screaming, gannets, connorants, vultures, goshawks, climbing woodcocks, peregrines, merlin, blackgrouse, sea eagles, gulls, albatrosses, barnacle geese.
