---You say that art must not excite desire, said Lynch.  I told you that one
day I wrote my name in pencil on the backside of the Venus of Praxiteles in
the Museum.  Was that not desire?

---I speak of normal natures, said Stephen.  You also told me that when you
were a boy in that charming carmelite school you ate pieces of dried cowdung.

Lynch broke again into a whinny of laughter and again rubbed both his hands
over his groins but without taking them from his pockets.

---O I did! I did! he cried.

        --Joyce _Portrait_
