Weekly Photo Challenge: Resolved

I usually don’t make any New Year’s resolutions but in 2013 I’d like to (finally) read the whole Joyce’s “Finnegans Wake”. Both the original (that I bought some 15 years ago) and the fresh Polish translation, currently hiding in the darkness of the back of my bookshelf.

Maybe James will look more impressed after that.

Rose of Castille

“Lenehan extended his hands in protest.

– But my riddle! he said. What opera is like a railway line?

– Opera? Mr O’Madden Burke’s sphinx face reriddled.

Lenehan announced gladly:

– The Rose of Castille. See the wheeze? Rows of cast steel. Gee!”
