James Joyce, Irish writer, Ulysses.

At Swim is written through the eyes of a student of literature who believes that "one beginning and one ending for a book was a thing I did not agree with". Accordingly he sets three separate stories in motion. The First concerning the Pooka MacPhellimey, "a member of the devil class". The Second a young man named John Furriskey, who turns out to be a fictional character created by another of the student's creations, Dermot Trellis, a writer of Westerns. While the third comprises adaptations of Irish legends. The stories become intertwined and Trellis' characters, resentful of his control over them, convene in the Red Swan Pub to plot his downfall by writing their own novel in which Trellis is tried and found guilty by his own characters.

James Joyce portrait and quote: Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.

Erin go Bragh, sometimes Erin go Braugh, is the anglicisation of an Irish language phrase, Éirinn go Brách, and is used to express allegiance to Ireland. It is most often translated as "Ireland Forever."

We are all born mad, some remain so. Waiting for Godot by Samuel Becket, a tragi-comic play in which nothing happens... twice. The Bowler Hat, Noose and solitary Tree are the principle props in an absurd drama in which two tramps engage in macabre, bizarre and melancholy discussions while awaiting the arrival of their compatriot, Godot.
