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

Written by: James Joyce


Ten years from that wisdom of children to his folly. If he sent her the
verses? They would be read out at breakfast amid the tapping of
egg-shells. Folly indeed! Her brothers would laugh and try to wrest the
page from each other with their strong hard fingers. The suave priest,
her uncle, seated in his arm-chair, would hold the page at arm's
length, read it smiling and approve of the literary form.


No, no; that was folly. Even if he sent her the verses she would not
show them to others. No, no; she could not.
