>Ulysses, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. You-lee-seß: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. You.Lee.Seß. He was Ul, plain Ul, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. He was Lysses in slacks. He was Ully at school. He was Ulliver on the dotted line. But in my arms he was always Ulysses. Did he have a precursor? He did, indeed he did. In point of fact, there might have been no Ulysses at all had I not loved, one summer, the epic novel The Odyssey by the Greeks. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Ulysses was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns

>He walked down the steps and out the back door and got in his truck and sat there. He couldnt name the feeling. It was sadness but it was something else besides. And the something else besides was what had him sitting there instead of starting the truck. He'd felt like this before but not in a long time and when he said that, then he knew what it was. It was defeat. It was being No Country for Old Men.
