A story by JAMES JOYCE
Read by Norman Rodway ' 1 turned away slowly and walked down the middle of the bazaar. I heard a voice call from one end of the gallery that the light was out. The upper part of the hall was now completely dark. Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.'
