			Boylan also makes an appearance at the Ormond when the opening lines of the song are being sung, and he departs when the closing lines are being sung. Thus, the adulterous Cassanova who is departing for a tryst is serenaded by a tender song about a lover having to part from his sweetheart.

			The chapter starts with a series of vignettes that are very similar to Chapter 10 [[Ulysses/Wandering Rocks]]. The narrative jumps around Dublin between different characters, and flashes back to some moments prior in the novel. What makes this opening so curious is the way that the scenes are only referenced through a few sounds or words.

			The opening of Chapter 11, then, is something like a series of audio callbacks to (and foreshadowings of) different characters and moments in the novel.

			From Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(mythology)]:

			{{Quote\|
			In Greek mythology, the sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.

			...

			Odysseus was curious as to what the sirens sang to him, and so, on the advice of Circe, he had all of his sailors plug their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast. He ordered his men to leave him tied tightly to the mast, no matter how much he might beg. When he heard their beautiful song, he ordered the sailors to untie him but they bound him tighter. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus demonstrated with his frowns to be released. Some post-Homeric authors state that the sirens were fated to die if someone heard their singing and escaped them, and that after Odysseus passed by they therefore flung themselves into the water and perished.
