James Joyce, Ulysses, ...
Bloom: ‘I stand for the reform of municipal mortals  and the plain ten\10 commandments. New worlds for\4 old(e). Union of all, Jew, Moslem and Gentiles. Three acres and a cow for all children of nature. Saloon motor hearses. Compulsory manual labour for all. All parks open to the public day and night. Electric dishscrubbers. Tuberculosis, lunacy, war and mendacity must now cease. General amnesty, weekly carnival, with masked license, bonus for all, Esperanto the universal  real Brotherhood (& Sisterhood). No more ‘patriotism’ of bar sponges and dropsical imposters. Free money, free love and a free church in a free lay state.’
