  • "The heart bow'd down:" Song from the English-language opera The Bohemian Girl (1841) by Irish Composer John Balfe
  • Heart: a river in North Dakota, United States
  • The heart, along with "bloodvein", "vesles", "scarlet thread", "the core" (L. cor, Fr. couer, heart), "cushlas" (Gael. cuisle, pulse) suggests that the rivers in this chapter are rivers of blood recirculating through HCE's body. (This is explored thoroughly in John Bishop's Joyce's Book of the Dark).
