This one just looks like too much fun to pass up on.
Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. Like every room in the house, it was dark; the greasy wallpaper and brown wooden moldings would have transformed any light into gloom, and from the alley very little light filtered in anyway. I walk around mumbling Thou / shalt,/Thou shalt not, toning through the October / air as I bend / to the marigold and zinnia, / the aster and chickory and goldenrod, / knocking their little heads / like bells, / whiffing them in as though / they were censers swinging / back / when we walked the Stations / of the Cross, / purple shrouds on the statues, / purple crossed with gold / on the priests flowing robe, / sin taking wing in that echoing / church / as Sherri and Lorraine swayed / in, / Irene and Jeannette tossing their / hair / back in waves that comg rippling / to me / in this Pennsylvania field / with the long, dried grass, / White Shoulders and Jean Naté, / Fay's /
