James Joyce

James Joyce (1882-1941), who immortalised Dublin in his writings, most of which he penned while living abroad. Ignore in Ireland during his lifetime, he has recently become cherished and though William Butler Yeats’ remains were repatriated there was never any interest in doing the same for Joyce.

“The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.”

 My mouth is full of decayed teeth and my soul of decayed ambitions.

“A man of genius makes no mistakes; his errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery”.
