The date of the birth of James Joyce, strangely and nicely noted and commemorated this morning on the Radio 3 breakfast programme. They then played ‘Love’s Old Sweet Song’ which runs through the narrative and is used to signify Molly Bloom. Joyce had to wait until he was 40 before Ulysses was eventually published in Paris … but I think we have shared that story before.
However, I liked the way the song resonated with my February introduction, with Valentines Day in my mind of course.
