Winds of May that dance on the sea, dancing a ring-around in glee. From furrow to furrow, while overhead, the foam flies up to be garlanded.

Wise men say. There are more women than men in the world.
Image: Peter van Geest AI. Meaning: According to some statistics, slightly more women live than men, if you look at mortality tables in 19th-20th-century cities: women lived longer on average. Recent demographic data show that worldwide there are more men than women—not the other way around. Source: Ulysses, James Joyce (1922), p. 110. Author: Joyce, through the character Leopold Bloom.
Burst sideways like a sheep in clover.
Image: Peter van Geest AI. Meaning: A sheep in a clover field → clover causes sheep to quickly become bloated and distended (fermentation in the stomach; farmers refer to this as “standing on the rumen”). A sheep that eats too greedily can burst. The figurative meaning is: Someone is so full (of anger, tension, pride, pent-up feelings, etc.) that they can hardly contain themselves. Someone is about to burst. It is therefore an image of explosive inner tension. Source: A stylish, vividly translated Joyce quote from Ulysses, p. 112.
