>In the wide land under a tender lucid evening sky, a cloud drifting westward amid a pale green sea of heaven, they stood together, children that had erred. Their error had offended God's majesty though it was the error of two children, but it had not offended her whose beauty is not like earthly beauty, dangerous to look upon, but like the morning star which is its emblem, bright and musical
Nah, he's alright.
Aristophanes was
>>8266778
He's quoting Aristophanes. I'm p sure it's a play called the frogs, it's the frogs going brekekekek anyway. They're laughing at Dionysus who is dressed as think Heracles iirc.

Why does autocorrect always forget the important words?

>when did you realize Joyce was a hack?
probably after i read Dubliners, his seminal short story collection. or maybe after reading one of the greatest bildungsroman ever written in Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man. nah, it was definitely after reading Ulysses, one of the greatest novels ever written. yeah, that was it. what a hack. not great at all.
>>8267078
Currently reading Portrait. Mostly great, but the endless description of hell puts me a little off.
>>8266778
Oi check out Aristophanes' Frogs innit pham.

That's the second best passage in the book desu
>>8266778
Brekkekek-part is from Aristophanes' frogs. It would be him in any case.
>>8267347
It's very well written and interesting, sure - but it takes up so much space of such a short book that it makes me feel a bit uneasy, I would like more personal experiences of Stephen.
>>8267347
What's the best passage then
>>8267358
Yes, incredibly well-written; I personally don't have any religious convictions, but that passage actually made be fear a bit for my eternal soul, which brings me to
>I would like more personal experiences of Stephen
But the change in lifestyle that Stephen undergoes needs to be justified. Stephen doesn't just become religious. He becomes a full-blown ascetic, which is a pretty dramatic transformation considering where he was before. That transformation demands an intense passage promising eternal suffering in hell.

I had in mind the epiphany scene in chapter 4 when I made that post, but now I'm wondering if the conversation with his schoolmate at the end of chapter 5 might be the best. Either way, the sermon passage gets demoted to third best (or maybe I should say favorite).
