Happy Bloomsdays to my James Joyce lovers/Irish folk out there.

“How do we put these desires—maternal, paternal, filial, marital, and illicit—into action without force, injustice, insult, or hate? When do we yield, with love, to the pleasure of ignorance? These are the questions which keep a reader coming back to “Ulysses,” as Molly keeps coming to the love letters she remembers receiving, sometimes “4 or 5 times” a day. Or 9 or 10, depending on the reader’s appetite.” ~Merve Emre https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/02/14/the-seductions-of-ulysses
