Longest way round is the shortest way home." ~James Joyce, Ulysses "They lived and laughed and loved and left." ~James Joyce, Finnegans Wake "Woodshadows floated silently by through the morning peace from the stairhead seaward where he gazed. Inshore and farther out the mirror of water whitened, spurned by lightshod hurrying feet. White breast of the dim sea. The twining stresses, two by two. A hand plucking the harpstrings merging their twining chords. Wavewhite wedded words shimmering on the dim tide." ~James Joyce, Ulysses About Text coming...
