Quotation from: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Written by: James Joyce


Stephen stumbled into the middle of the class, blinded by fear and haste.


--Where did you break your glasses? repeated the prefect of studies.


--The cinder-path, sir.


--Hoho! The cinder-path! cried the prefect of studies. I know that trick.


Stephen lifted his eyes in wonder and saw for a moment Father Dolan's
white-grey not young face, his baldy white-grey head with fluff at the
sides of it, the steel rims of his spectacles and his no-coloured eyes
looking through the glasses. Why did he say he knew that trick?
