Dubliners is a beautiful book. "Araby" has always been a favorite of mine, but each story is magical. Your description of this particular sentence as "a string of linguistic candle-smoke" is wonderful! Captures the seemingly simple charm and lovely spirit of these stories.

Araby, along with Boarding House, are my favorites!
From Boarding House: "...sometimes she said 'I seen' and 'If I had've know.' But what would grammar matter if he really loved her?"
I am always in awe of talent that I do not possess. Thank you for another reminder.
Thanks for reminding me how wonderful these stories are.
