"I fear those big words which make us so unhappy" is a quote from #JamesJoyce's #Ulysses. It is spoken by the character Stephen Dedalus. The quote reflects a feeling of unease and discomfort with grand pronouncements and abstract language, suggesting that such language can be alienating and contribute to unhappiness. The resolution of the novel is the dissolution of all words with the surrendering fuck of yes.
Ulysses is a woman's novel.

Closing out #bloomsday2025 while forging ahead through this book, I’m not sure yet what to make of it- really- but this I know: I am in it. It’s a mirror. Bits of the Roman Missal, the classics, 19th century cookery books … the geography of Ireland, Dublin, all broken into shards and reassembled in a glass mosaic in which I see my face.

“My political opinions,” he summed up in a letter to his brother, “are those of a Socialist artist.”
For #Bloomsday, here are my drawings of Joyce himself and also of Flann O’Brien who, well-refreshed, was one of the originators of Bloomsday in 1954.
