Ulysses


                                     The professor, returning by way of the files, swept his
                                  hand across Stephen’s and Mr O’Madden Burke’s loose
                                  ties.
                                     —Paris, past and present, he said. You look like

                                  communards.
                                     —Like fellows who had blown up the Bastile, J. J.
                                  O’Molloy said in quiet mockery. Or was it you shot the
                                  lord lieutenant of Finland between you? You look as
                                  though you had done the deed. General Bobrikoff.

                                         OMNIUM GATHERUM


                                     —We were only thinking about it, Stephen said.
                                     —All the talents, Myles Crawford said. Law, the classics
                                  ...
                                     —The turf, Lenehan put in.
                                     —Literature, the press.
                                     —If Bloom were here, the professor said. The gentle
                                  art of advertisement.
                                     —And Madam Bloom, Mr O’Madden Burke added.
                                  The vocal muse. Dublin’s prime favourite.
                                     Lenehan gave a loud cough.
                                     —Ahem! he said very softly. O, for a fresh of breath
                                  air! I caught a cold in the park. The gate was open.
