"Mr Bloom came to Kildare Street. First I must. Library." (U8.1167)

Coming to Kildare Street from Molesworth street, we see Leinster House which housed the Dublin Royal Society. On its 2 sides are the mirror image buildings of the Science and Art Museum (left) and the National Library of Ireland (right).

"Straw hat in sunlight. Tan shoes. Turnedup trousers. It is. It is." (U8.1168)

"Making for the museum gate with long windy strides he lifted his eyes. Handsome building. Sir Thomas Deane designed. Not following me?" (U8.1173)

"The flutter of his breath came forth in short sighs. Quick. Cold statues: quiet there. Safe in a minute." (U8.1176)

" Gate." (U8.1192)

"Safe!" (U8.1193)
