James Joyce
Image
What was after the universe? Nothing. But was there anything round the universe to show where it stopped before the nothing place began?

James Joyce
Image
Our souls, shamewounded by our sins, cling to us yet more, a woman to her lover clinging, the more the more. She trusts me, her hand gentle, the longlashed eyes. Now where the blue hell am I bringing her beyond the veil? Into the ineluctable modality of the ineluctable visuality. She, she, she. What she?
