“Paris in the early morning has a cheerful, bustling aspect, a promise of delicious things to come, a positive smell of coffee and croissants, quite peculiar to itself. The people welcome a new day as if they were certain of liking it, the shopkeepers pull up their blinds serene in the expectation of good trade, the workers go happily to their work, the people who have sat up all night in night-clubs go happily to their rest, the orchestra of motor-car horns, of clanking trams, of whistling policemen tunes up for the daily symphony, and everywhere is joy.” PeopleIfsJoyNightCertainMorningCarPromiseExpectationsAspectTradeWorkersClubsSmellCoffeeWelcomeParisSatTunesPeculiarDeliciousCheerfulOrchestraAll NightHornsSymphonyMotorNew DayPolicemenSereneEarly MorningWhistlingUp All NightPull UpsShopkeepersNight ClubMotor CarsTramsCroissantsTune Up Book:The Nancy Mitford Omnibus Source: The Nancy Mitford Omnibus

“The sense that in this universe we are treated as strangers, the longing to be acknowledged, to meet with some response, to bridge some chasm that yawns between us and reality, is part of our inconsolable secret. And surely, from this point of view, the promise of glory, in the sense described, becomes highly relevant to our deep desire. For glory meant good report with God, acceptance by God, response, acknowledgment, and welcome into the heart of things. The door on which we have been knocking all our lives will open at last.” HeartMeanHas BeensRealityLastsDesireUniverseViewsSecretOur LivesDoorsAcceptancePromiseGloryLongingResponseStrangerPoint Of ViewTreatedWelcomeBridgesReportsRelevantKnockingAcknowledgmentChasmsDeep Desire Author:C.

“Away! Away! The spell of arms and voices: the white arms of roads, their promise of close embraces and the black arms of tall ships that stand against the moon, their tale of distant nations. They are held out to say: We are alone. Come. And the voices say with them: We are your kinsmen. And the air is thick with their company as they call to me, their kinsman, making ready to go, shaking the wings of their exultant and terrible youth... Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.” SoulRealityNationsBlackVoiceWhiteRaceCompanyAirYouthReadyArmsTerriblePromiseMoonConscienceEmbraceWingsTalesShipsWelcomeMy SoulEncountersTallSpellsThickShakingTall Ships Author:James Joyce
