From "A Little Cloud"

"He felt how useless it was to struggle against fortune, this being the burden of wisdom which the ages had bequeathed to him"

"There was no doubt about it: if you wanted to succeed you had to go away...
Could he write something original? He was not sure what idea he wished to express but the thought that a poetic moment had touched him took life within him like an infant hope".

James Joyce en "A Little Cloud", uno de los relatos de "Dubliners".
