In the meantime, though, I thought I'd share this random moment. I was glancing at Adbusters, a magazine that was Occupy Wall Street before there was Occupy Wall Street, and is certainly covering it intensively now.
In the middle of the magazine, the image of a hand holding a pen coming out of a body of water and bending back to the water to write. The page bereft of words, except for this:
Take all keep all.
My soul walks with me
form of forms.
Written in the water and reflecting back, upside down, this:

Nice quote, from the Proteus chapter of Ulysses.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I knew it was familiar but couldn't place it.
ReplyDeleteIn passing, I came across a lovely book called "James Joyce, Reflections of Ireland".
