From After the Race in James Joyce’s Dubliners:
They drove down Dame Street. The street was busy with unusual traffic, loud with the horns of motorists and the gongs of impatient tram-drivers.
And from Stephen Hero:
“By an epiphany he meant a sudden spiritual manifestation, whether in the vulgarity of speech or of gesture or in a memorable phase of the mind itself. He believed that is was for the man of letters to record these epiphanies with extreme care , seeing that they themselves are the most delicte and evanescent of moments.”
