Ha! The book is a bugger to read, Mark!
Here's a silly thing about Joyce (in way) from
LUPO last year:
Cuspidor! O Cuspidor!
Joyce felt that the most euphonious word
in the English language was cuspidor.
– R. Hendrickson
British Literary Anecdotes
Cuspidor! O
Cuspidor!
[..]Euphoniousest word!
Most beautiful in the language! (or
[..]at least the best I've heard.)
I love your string of plosives with
[..] those vow-els interstitial.
They make a damp appliance seem
[..] a grand bullfight official.
Though some do not appreciate
[..] your beauty, they're just sissies!
(I used you twice in
Dubliners
[..] and twelve times in
Ulysses!)
Cuspidor! O
Cuspidor!
[..] Euphoniousest word!
Most beautiful in the language (or
[..] at least the best I've heard.)
