Beautiful Thinking Corpses

More From James Joyce

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. she was beautiful, for the way she thought. she was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. she was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. no, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. she was beautiful, deep down to her soul. she is beautiful.

Imagine some foul and putrid corpse that has lain rotting and decomposing in the grave, a jelly-like mass of liquid corruption. imagine such a corpse a prey to flames, devoured by the fire of burning brimstone and giving off dense choking fumes of nauseous loathsome decomposition. and then imagine this sickening stench, multiplied a millionfold and a millionfold again from the millions upon millions of fetid carcasses massed together in the reeking darkness, a huge and rotting human fungus. imagine all this, and you will have some idea of the horror of the stench of hell.

I soon began to dream. ... i heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. ... i left my bed and wandered downstairs. ... there i met with a sickening surprise. before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'who is dead in the white house?' i demanded of one of the soldiers, 'the president,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.''

Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. for a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.

Similar Quotes
Our respect for the dead, when they are just dead, is something wonderful, and the way we show it more wonderful still. we show it with black feathers and black horses; we show it with black dresses and black heraldries; we show it with costly obelisks and sculptures of sorrow, which spoil half of our beautiful cathedrals. we show it with frightful gratings and vaults, and lids of dismal stone, in the midst of the quiet grass; and last, and not least, we show it by permitting ourselves to tell any number of falsehoods we think amiable or credible in the epitaph.
