Today is the 100th anniversary of the publication of this novel. Here's a tasty quote:
As we, or mother Dana, weave and unweave our bodies, Stephen said, from day to day, their molecules shuttled to and fro, so does the artist weave and unweave his image.
- Ulysses, Episode 9, Scylla and Charybdis
And one more:
Unsheathe your dagger definitions. Horseness is the whatness of allhorse. Streams of tendency and eons they worship. God: noise in the street: very peripatetic. Space: what you damn well have to see. - Ulysses, Episode 9, Scylla and Charybdis
