“A ricefield near Vercelli under creamy summer haze. the wings of her drooping hat shadow her false smile. Shadows streak her falsely smiling face, smitten by the hot creamy light, grey wheyhued shadows under the jawbones, streaks of eggyolk yellow on the moistened brow, rancid yellow humour lurking within the softened pulp of the eyes.”
― James Joyce, Giacomo Joyce

“The long eyelids beat and lift: a burning needleprick stings and quivers in the velvet iris.”
― James Joyce , Giacomo Joyce
