"Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him on the mild morning air."

Ulysses, First lines, Ch. 1: Telemachus

~James Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941)
