This is interesting. I haven't come to a conclusion as to whether I'm in favor of it or not, but I'm wondering how it would look on other, arbitrarily chosen images. The one in the screenshot was chosen, I'm sure, because it's a great photo for this kind of script, but what about the ones less suited to it? How do those look?

The juxtaposition calls attention to the musicality of Joyce's language, which is something often overlooked in literature (particularly prose), at least among those who don't think to look for it.

I was always struck by the sonic qualities of the last sentence of Joyce's "The Dead." Spoiler alert, I guess:

His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
