        Giacomo Joyce

        by James Joyce, Richard Ellmann, Klaus Reichert, Fritz Senn

        »Joyce, Sie wissen doch, dieser irische Gigant … Der Zeitpunkt liegt so um 1909 herum. Da lebte der wortgewaltige Romancier in Triest und fristete sein Leben mühsam mit Sprachunterricht. Ja, und da hatte er eine Affäre mit einer Schülerin, kindjung anscheinend, doch von überzeugender Weiblichkeit. Ihr zuliebe schrieb er eben jenes Novellchen. Es steht alles drin, was einem reifen Mann passiert, wenn er sich vergißt. Und es ist eine Poesie, in eine feine Lieblichkeit eingefangen, wie sie nur Joyce vermag, wenn er verliebt ist.« – Werner Helwig

He is joyful without even realizing it. Bosch is also aware that serenity and calmness let things be seen as they are. No one before had ever seen our feelings as we get lost in the madness of invisible realities.

        by Albert Protopopov et al
