- "James Joyce frequently used the River Liffey as a powerful, flowing symbol of Dublin and life itself, describing it in Ulysses as carrying bodies, dreams, and history, famously portraying it as a womb and a path, like when Bloom imagines his body buoyant and cleansed in its waters or when characters navigate its currents past city landmarks, symbolizing personal journeys and the city's soul." - Google Search 2026-01-21 morning USA

"The Silhouette Void" MonoMyth Lines
- BILL MOYERS: Aren’t you undermining one of the great traditional doctrines of the classic Christian faith — that the burial and the resurrection of Jesus prefigures our own?
CAMPBELL: That would be a mistake in the reading of the symbol. That is reading the words in terms of prose instead of in terms of poetry, reading the metaphor in terms of the denotation instead of the connotation.
MOYERS: And poetry gets to the unseen reality.
CAMPBELL: That which is beyond even the concept of reality, that which transcends all thought. The myth puts you there all the time, gives you a line to connect with that mystery which you are.
