'Language of flowers. They like it because no-one can hear. Or a poison bouquet to strike him down. Then walking slowly forward he read the letter again, murmuring here and there a word. Angry tulips with you darling manflower'

- Louis Werner is touring her, Mr Bloom said. O yes we'll have all the topnobbers. J.C. Doyle and John McCormack I hope and. The best in fact.
- And Madame, Mr Power said smiling. Last but not least.
William Orpen's painting (1923) is of the Irish tenor John McCormack, here pictured in his tennis togs. McCormack shared Orpen's penchant for Frans Hals. This picture though tilts towards Ingres and his portrait of 'Monsieur Bertin,' from a century earlier.

'He passed, dallying, the windows of Brown Thomas, silk mercers. Cascades of ribbons. Flimsy China silks. A tilted urn poured from its mouth a flood of bloodhued poplin: lustrous blood.'

'Stephen looked at his thinly clad mother and remembered that a few days before he had seen a mantle priced at twenty guineas in the windows of Barnardo's.'
Street urchin found by Thomas Barnardo in Whitechapel that led to his orphanage and later a ragged school to educate the East End's destitute...
This image is widely recognized as a "street urchin" portrait taken in the late 19th Century. The boy's plight inspired Dr. Barnardo to establish orphanages and "ragged schools" to educate and support destitute children. It highlights the extreme poverty and social conditions in East London during the 1860s.
