Read A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man! This is legitimately all I could think about when they were having this discussion. Poor man just wanted free cigarettes.

His heart trembled; his breath came faster and a wild spirit passed over his limbs as though he was soaring sunward. His heart trembled in an ecstasy of fear and his soul was in flight. His soul was soaring in an air beyond the world and the body he knew was purified in a breath and delivered of incertitude and made radiant and commingled with the element of the spirit. An ecstasy of flight made radiant his eyes and wild his breath and tremulous and wild and radiant his windswept limbs.

James Joyce bought several hundred copies of his first novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man after it was published in 1916. It was considered ‘a flop’ in terms of sales. It was only after Ulysses was published, eight years later, that Joyce began to receive literary acclaim.

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.
James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
