James Joyce
O thanks be to the great God I got somebody to give me what I badly wanted to put some heart up into me youve no chances at all inthis place like you used long ago I wish somebody would write me a loveletter.
James Joyce
White wine is like electricity. Red wine looks and tastes like a liquified beefsteak.
James Joyce
But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.
James Joyce
All Moanday, Tearday, Wailsday, Thumpsday, Frightday, Shatterday.
