Eggcorn Forum

John Barth’s story, Night Sea Journey, is the narrative of an introspective, existential spermatozoid as it swims its way ever onward without knowing where it was all leading or why. The title might be a play on the Jungian notion that neurosis and recovery is like the night sea journey of the sun, which “sails over the sea like an immortal god who every evening is immersed in the maternal waters and is born anew in the morning.”

What is forgotten in this imagery is that the egg is no better off. Her journey is in many ways more giddy and fraught. Sperm have several congenial canals all mapped out for them, but there is no direct connection from the ovaries to their own viaduct, the Fallopian tubes, where they may or may not run into someone and fall in love. The egg is released into the peritoneal cavity, believe it or not—cast into the giblets, Peter might say—and must hope that the sweeping movements of the desperate filaments in the horn of the Fallopian tubes (also called salpinx, from the Gk. for “trumpet”) will draw it in to harbour and set it on its way along the upreaching arms of the cilia, a crowd-surfing Madonna.

Problems arise when the tubes get blocked, which is a major cause of infertility. Contact with the many procedures to assess their patency may have led to the imagery of the “fallopen” tubes, which must fall open on cue.
