An absurd lightness
draped itself around him;
all things were possible,
all things were manageable.

I might enjoy being an albatross,

being able to glide for days and

daydream for hundreds of miles along the thermals.

It soared, a bird, it held its flight, a swift pure cry, soar silver orb it leaped serene, speeding, sustained, to come, don’t spin it out too long long breath he breath long life, soaring high, high resplendent, aflame, crowned, high in the effulgence symbolistic, high, of the ethereal bosom, high, of the high vast irradiation everywhere all soaring all around about the all, the endlessnessnessness…”

– James Joyce, Ulysses
