Penelope for her Ulysses' sake,
Devised a web her wooers to deceive;
In which the work that she all day did make
The same at night she did again unreave.
Such subtle craft my Damsel doth conceive,
Th'importune suit of my desire to shun:
For all that I in many days do weave,
In one short hour I find by her undone.
So when I think to end that I begun,
I must begin and never bring to end:
For with one look she spills that long I spun,
And with one word my whole year's work doth rend.
Such labour like the spider's web I find,
Whose fruitless work is broken with least wind.
Edmund Spenser (1552-1599), Amoretti - Sonnet XXIII
Je vous présente Ulysse, mâle Saint-Bernard appartenant à un de nos amis.
Il a deux ans et pèse 82 kilos, il est adorable et très affectueux. Comme il est jeune, il veut jouer et je me tiens un peu à l'écart car il nous pouse pour s'amuser et vu sa force et sa puissance il pourrait nous faire tomber !!

James Joyce (1882 – 1941) was an Irish author of the 20th century. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses (1922) and its controversial successor Finnegans Wake (1939), as well as the short story collection Dubliners, a penetrating analysis of the stagnation and paralysis of Dublin society.

There are two flags in Ireland. One is made of three equal-sized rectangles of orange, white and green. The other is Joyce.
