" The writer begins
with the arbitrary,
the accidental,
the insignificant,
and transmits them
into an object
that has intention,
design,
and significance. "

" I'm like a man
who stumbles;
my foot strikes

I look down,
and there is

We construct our art,
our home,
our life,
from stuff we find
day to day.
That thing you notice
becomes a diadem;
Memory the jeweler
fastens diamonds
on your hem.
Thank YOU
for voyaging here,

Sentence by sentence, Joyce was a lovely writer. But I'm afraid I don't think much of his storytelling abilities. These are great quotes though.
ReplyDeleteThat Joyce pretty much captures fireworks.
ReplyDeleteI think Charles Gramlich is right
ReplyDeleteSo hey how hard is it to pick up chicks with one big ass eye in the middle of your forehead?

ReplyDeleteJoyce was a great taker of risks, and he opened our minds to different ways of expressing what we see and feel. And he had lousy eyes! Thanks for this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks each of YOU
