Image
His heart danced upon her movements like a cork upon a tide. He heard what her eyes said to him from beneath their cowl and knew that in some dim past, whether in life or revery, he had heard their tale before.
James Joyce
Image
Her lips touched his brain as they touched his lips, as though they were a vehicle of some vague speech and between them he felt an unknown and timid preasure, darker than the swoon of sin, softer than sound or odor.

As you are now so once were we.
James Joyce
Image
I am quite content to go down to posterity as a scissors and paste man for that seems to me a harsh but not unjust description

There is not past, no future everything flows in an eternal present.

All Moanday, Tearday, Wailsday, Thumpsday, Frightday, Shatterday.

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: ----Introibo ad altare Dei.
