Merle,
I was referring to Molly Bloom's soliloquy closing out Joyce's ULYSSES. It's
one of the most moving pieces of writing I have ever read:
"...I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the
Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the
Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him
with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my
mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me
so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad
and yes I said yes I will Yes."
this is quite beautiful...merle
