2 " His sensitive nature was still smarting under the lashes of an undivided and squalid way of life. His soul was still disquieted and cast down by the dull phenomenon of Dublin. He had emerged from a two years' spell of revery to find himself in the midst of a new scene, every event and figure of which affected him intimately, disheartened him or allured and, whether alluring or disheartening, filled him always with unrest and bitter thoughts. All the leisure which his school life left him was passed in the company of subversive writers whose jibes and violence of speech set up a ferment in his brain before they passed out of it into his crude writings. "
― James Joyce , A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

4 " Here was a new generation, shouting the old cries, learning the old creeds, through a revery of long days and nights; destined finally to go out into that dirty gray turmoil to follow love and pride; a new generation dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success; grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken... "
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
5 " To make a prairie it takes clover and one bee one clover and a bee and revery The revery alone will do if bees are few. "
6 " To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few. "
