Annotations to James Joyce's Ulysses/Circe/530

Annotations edit

Et exaltabuntur cornua iusti (Latin) And the horns of the just man shall be exalted.^[1] This is adapted from Psalms 75:10 (Vulgate 74:11):

**Psalms 75:10**^[2]
Et omnia cornua impiorum confringam; exaltabuntur cornua iusti.	All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Stephen is adding a sexual dimension that is not present in the original, echoing Lenehan's Got the horn or what? to Boylan in Sirens.
