Reading matters

On this day in 1904, the Irish writer James Joyce had his first romantic liason with Nora Barnacle. Subsequently, Joyce chose that 16 June in Dublin as the day for the setting of his novel Ulysses.

The novel concludes with the stream of consciousness of Bloom's wife, Molly:

and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.
