...best, least fatiguing posture and movement those unit masses of flesh and bone, she reasons, should counter-balance so that the body's centre of gravity lies in the sacrum (base of the spine). When the human animal stands properly erect, an imaginary line should cut the nose, chin, breastbone and crotch. Another imaginary line should drop from the mastoid, in front of the shoulder joint, through the elbow and little finger (palm turned to the rear), side of knee and ankle. This is achieved by standing with feet together, shoulders held back, abdomen tucked in, buttocks clenched...
...Ulysses, but if so he will go down fighting. Ever since the publication of James Joyce's big book (1922), legends of Dr. Gogarty's near-mythical person have been stealing round the world like a slow smile.

And besides I understood the picture would show only from the shoulders up." Business Man ager Lytton sputtered that he had labored under the same misunderstanding. Snapped the Dean : "Drake does not intend to take any action." At week...
...unique significance in the field of English letters there can be no doubt. Its phraseology has become part and parcel of our common tongue--bone of its bone and flesh of its flesh. Its rhythms and cadences, its turns of speech, its familiar imagery, its very words, are woven into the texture of our literature, prose and poetry alike.
