Dubliners (1914) by James Joyce & The Creation of True Art
“His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.”

“His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.”
A superbly written piece of brutal heartlessness and blatant betrayals on all sides.
Here is a hauntingly good reading of “This Moment is Your Life.”
“The drudgery of the lives of most of the people who have to support families — well, it’s a life-extinguishing affair.”

From Tolkien’s and Gyge’s magic rings, morals of Glaucon, cloaks of invisibility, invisible children, occult forces and sacred magic, theological thermodynamics, the invisible men of science fiction, natural camouflage, time bandits, the Holy Spirit, X-rays, and to the mythic and magical connotations of invisibility, Ball does wonders as he crosses time and space to bring readers a semi-full spectrum encompassing the historical and contemporary implications involving the “unseen” in our everyday lives.
A collection of stories from men and women who either read Dr. Gray’s Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus or attended his conferences in order to improve their relationships.
“Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.”
“A soul mate is someone who has the unique ability to bring out the best in us. Soul mates are not perfect, but perfect for us.”
