Day after Christmas, 2006, 5:43pm EST: ineluctable is the 100,000th word posted on Wordie. A Joycean word:
"Ineluctable modality of the visible: At least that if no more, thought through my eyes. Signatures of all things I am here to read, seaspawn and seawrack , the nearing tide, that rusty boot. Snotgreen, bluesilver, rust: coloured signs. Limits of the diaphane. But he adds: in bodies. Then he was aware of them bodies before of them coloured. How? By knocking his sconce against them, sure. Go easy. Bald he was and a millionaire, maestro di color che sanno. Limit of the diaphane in. Why in? Diaphane, adiaphane. If you can put your five fingers through it, it is a gate, if not a door. Shut your eyes and see." - Ulysses, "Proteus"
and later in the same chapter:
"I throw this ended shadow from me, manshape ineluctable, call it back."
