Nice! I was just reading this passage of #Ulysses last night. The morning light on Dublin Bay reminds #StephenDedalus of Paris “à la lumière du matin” 🤓

📖 #OTD in #Literature 26 April in #JamesJoyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", #StephenDedalus makes a famous diary entry (see below right).

In #Nestor, Mr. Deasy is a rabid #antisemite. He spouts the usual early 20th crap at #StephenDedalus. Stephen’s mind is immediately taken back to a memory of the #Paris stock-exchange and the traders there.

“Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end.”
