Exiles - The moving story of John Throne, Dermot Connolly, Joan Collins, et al (the deviants from the true CWI path).

He left.
He didn't go back.
He never showed any sincere wish to go back.

The Swiss gave him exile,
peace of mind
and a grave.

The Irish claimed him.
The Irish bought his papers to protect his privacy and then locked legal horns with his descendent to make a cultural tourism day which supports a global industry of mediocre non writers centred on North Great Georges Street.
The Irish brought him back to a country he wouldn't even visit to bury him, after disturbing his mortal remains.

No one except me
bothers to light him a candle
and hope he's doing alright,
not suffering too much
and on his way home.


God Bless you James.
Would they not leave you alone now.

Silly prat.

Joyce wasn't interested in politics, especially not socialism. He was passionate about Home Rule for Ireland but was indifferent about the kind of political parties that would rule it.

That Lysaght character had better not do any oublic readings without my permission.

and I never suggested Joyce was, I'm not Pat, I just hope he _rests_ now.
He was (I believe) like most great writers concerned primarily with Life, Love, Liberty, Synchronicity, Symbolism and Mysticism.

Politics is what is left over when better men and women have struggled for these things.
