“A man [Joyce] whose earliest stories appeared next to the manure prices in the Irish Homestead knew that columns of prose, like columns of shit, could both recultivate the earth.”
Declan Kiberd, Ulysses and Us

“for journalists words are simply tokens to be arranged and rearranged indifferently. But for an artist there can be only one ideal order.”
Declan Kiberd, Ulysses

“His brother Stanislaus noted that he had early in life resigned himself to the marginality of the male, who did not expect to be the main purpose of a woman’s life, knowing that sooner or later children would take his place. In Ulysses he showed how that sense of increasing isolation, following the birth of children, is countered in the male by an attempt to reincarnate in himself those female elements which are disappearing from his life.”
Declan Kiberd, Ulysses
