Soccer in the Phoenix Park. Dublin 1963. Published in Quinn, Edward. James Joyces Dublin. Secker & Warburg, London 1974.

In Dublin’s Phoenix Park, 1963, three boys are captured mid-game on a grassy field. The central figure, a tall teenager in a light-colored shirt and suspenders, dribbles an old-fashioned leather ball. To his left, a smaller boy leans low, grabbing his opponent’s arm in an intense effort to tackle. A third boy stands in the background, observing the spontaneous moment of youthful play as leafy trees soften the horizon.
