OMG, I was going to quote that line this morning. Joyce was playing name games here too. He put his grandson's name in this first line.

riverrun, pa[st Eve an]d Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay…

Stephen was his grandson's name. Some researcher in the 60's noticed this and it is a lovely tribute to both his wife as Eve, and his grandson!

I haven't started reading this yet. Still thinking about it.
