it made me want to punch his shrieking sister in the face.

Pretty true desu~

I'm about to finish. I find it dropped off a bit after his crazed Christian phase. The priest's sermon was unbelievably written. Shit, he almost had me convinced for a while.

agreed that whole sermon section got me sweating and I hadn't been to church for years when I first read portrait, and I'm protestant too

Okay I just finished it. I'm struck by Stephen's polar perspectives on life. Because of his artistic epiphany he finds cause to abandon his religious zeal altogether. He finds it impossible to balance Catholicism and art, as if the two are mutually exclusive.

Dubliners is much better desu

a pageturner

This was a really good reply.

I had no clue what the fuck was going on half the time.

There could be neither luck nor grace, Dante said, in a house where there is no respect for the pastors of the church.

Mr Dedalus threw his knife and fork noisily on his plate.

Respect! he said. Is it for Billy with the lip or for the tub of guts up in Armagh? Respect!

Princes of the church, said Mr Casey with slow scorn.

Lord Leitrim's coachman, yes, said Mr Dedalus.

They are the Lord's anointed, Dante said. They are an honour to their country.

I don't think I've ever wanted to believe in Satan more, just so I could find salvation from him.
