It's a Law, Something Like That



Where was the chap I saw in that picture somewhere? Ah yes, in the dead sea floating on his back, reading a book with a parasol open. Couldn't sink if you tried: so thick with salt. Because the weight of the water, no, the weight of the body in the water is equal to the weight of the what? Or is it the volume is equal to the weight? It's a law something like that.

—James Joyce, Ulysses

Painting: Jean Frederic Bazille (1841 - 1870)
