"Enjoy a bath now: clean trough of water, cool enamel, the gentle tepid stream. This is my body.
He foresaw his pale body reclined in it at full, naked, in a womb of warmth, oiled by scented melting soap, softly laved. He saw his trunk and limbs riprippled over and sustained, buoyed lightly upward, lemonyellow: his navel, bud of flesh: and saw the dark tangled curls of his bush floating, floating hair of the stream around the limp father of thousands, a languid floating flower."

[James Joyce, Ulysses]

I love how this feels like space. Great work.
Amazing! I'd have thought Ulysses would be among the few pieces of literature that defy illustration, but I've just changed my mind.

So, Naturalists observe, a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite 'em;
And so proceed ad infinitum.
Woa.
Amazing.
Great job.
Wonderful job.

i'll be waiting, with a gun and a pack of sandwhiches...
This looks far better than what my imagination gave me when i first read that part of Ulysses, beautifully done.
