True confession: I've never read James Joyce's Ulysses. Perhaps some day. But when I think about what it means for the English language to be lyric – my favorite use of language – I always refer to the last lines of Joyce's masterpiece as the best example:

"...I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.
