Which three phrases in this excerpt from James Joyce’s “Araby” appeal to the senses of hearing and smell?
When the short days of winter camedusk fell before we had well eaten our dinners. When we met in the streetthe houses had grown sombre. The space of sky above us was the colour of ever-changing violet and towards it the lamps of the street lifted their feeble lanterns. The cold air stung us andwe played till our bodies glowed. Our shouts echoed in the silent streets. The career of our play brought us through the dark muddy lanes behind the houses where we ran the gauntlet of the rough tribes from the cottages, to the back doors of the dark dripping gardens whereodours arose from the ashpits, to thedark odorous stableswhere a coachman smoothed and combed the horse orshook music from the buckled harness.
odours arose from the ashpits
shook music from the buckled harness.
dusk fell before we had well eaten our dinners
dark odorous stables
we played till our bodies glowed
