Urbane, to comfort them, the quaker librarian purred: —And we have, have we not, those priceless pages of Wilhelm Meister. A great poet on a great brother poet. A hesitating soul taking arms against a sea of troubles, torn by conflicting doubts, as one sees in real life. He came a step a sinkapace forward on neatsleather creaking and a step backward a sinkapace on the solemn floor. A noiseless attendant setting open the door but slightly made him a noiseless beck. —Directly, said he, creaking to go, albeit lingering.

James Joyce (1882-1941) est un romancier et poète irlandais expatrié, considéré comme l’un des écrivains les plus influents du 20e siècle. Parmi ses œuvres marquantes on compte «Les Gens de Dublin» (1914), «Portrait de l'artiste en jeune homme» (1916), «Ulysse» (1922) et «Finnegans Wake» (1939). Dès sa parution aux États-Unis, «Ulysse» suscite la controverse, puisque jugé obscène, et est interdit jusqu’en 1931. Joyce est décédé à Zurich en 1941.
