Yes

For your enjoyment, I shall now include some of the last few lines of Ulysses, from Molly Bloom's soliloquy. I am at the moment writing a paper on the 'Penelope' chapter (Molly's soliloquy), its representation of femininity, and Nora's (Joyce's lover/ eventual wife) effect on his perceptions of women. Fascinating stuff and, of course, beautiful writing...
