"We have to had them whether we'll like it or not."

(581.26-583.25)  Despite the tragedy surrounding HCE, which Mark lamented yesterday, things might be made more amenable through the presence of Shaun (or Shem), the "another like that alter but not quite such anander and stillandbut one not all the selfsame and butstillone just the maim and encore emmerhim."  HCE begot sons who will replace him, and for that Mark suggests that we offer "a snatchvote of thanksalot" to HCE, "the huskiest coaxing experimenter that ever gave his best hand into chancerisk."  We should accordingly wish HCE and ALP a long life and the ability to "turn a deaf ear closshed" to their enemies, who will exist for all of eternity.

After all, Mark says, "We have to had them whether we'll like it or not."  HCE and ALP are the universal parents, and we're stuck with them, just as Ireland is stuck with the invader's presence.  Neither they nor us will be able to "escape life's high carnage of semperidentity," and we'll all eventually be staring straight at our respective demises.  So, while we're here, we should sing a song (as Mark does in closing) to "Humpfrey, champion emir," who "holds his own."

At this point, we now take a look from the "[t]hird position of concord" (our third perspective in the chapter, after Matthew's first position of harmony and Mark's second position of discordance).  The pattern of the chapter suggests that Luke presents this view, which he describes by saying, "Excellent view from the front."  Since this is the straight-on view of concord, and since this book was written by Joyce, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that, as we gaze at HCE "now in momentum," we see him engaging in sexual intercourse with ALP.  Luke approves, saying, "By the queer quick twist of her mobcap and the lift of her shift at random and the rate of her gate of going the pace, two thinks at a time, her country I'm proud of."  Isabel (the "datter") "sleeps in peace," and Shem and Shaun (the "twillingsons") "turn in trot" (turn and toss in bed), but HCE and ALP -- "pairamere" (equivalent to the French for father and mother) -- "goes it a gallop, a gallop."  The petite ALP is described in this passage as a moon orbiting HCE's Jupiter ("juniper").  Their shadows can be seen outside of the house by "the park's police" who "peels peering by."
