James Joyce
Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo
James Joyce
When I die Dublin will be written on my heart.
James Joyce
No one would think he'd make such a beautiful corpse.
James Joyce
Good puzzle would be cross Dublin without passing a pub.
James Joyce
The apprehensive faculty must be scrutinised in action.
James Joyce
O cold ! O shivery ! It was your ambrosial beauty. Forget, forgive. Kismet. Let me off this once.
James Joyce
It seems to me you do not care what banality a man expresses so long as he expresses it in Irish.
James Joyce
