Bloomsday Bliss

The sun is high, on this bright, warm day

Martello busy, crowds moving in sway

Joyce’s words are spoken

Rapt silence unbroken

As salty air tickles, drifting in from the bay

Martello Tower, The James Joyce Museum, Sandycove

On Sandymount Strand, you can walk forever

Or enjoy the sea, wind, panorama, whatever

Davy Byrnes for drinks

Oh yes, methinks

Would I miss such a chance, me, no way, never

He entered Davy Byrnes. Moral pub. (Ulysses – Episode 8 ‘Lestrygonians’)
