Damn Dirty Edwardians

Post by Aeridus »

James Joyce was a lot raunchier than I thought: http://www.johnhamilton.us/2/jamesjoyceletters.htm

An excerpt:
"My love for you allows me to pray to the spirit of eternal beauty and tenderness mirrored in your eyes or fling you down under me on that softy belly of yours and fuck you up behind, like a hog riding a sow, glorying in the very stink and sweat that rises from your arse, glorying in the open shape of your upturned dress and white girlish drawers and in the confusion of your flushed cheeks and tangled hair."

When some fan asked to kiss the hand Joyce used to write the Ulysses, he said "I'd advice against that, I've done a lot of other things with that hand too".

Anyway, he wasn't a Victorian, he's a late Edwardian/Modernist.
The gospel preacher, the hostile teacher/The face of God with an impostor's features
This is the prophecy - the cult leader/The people's temple, the holy ground, the war compound
Four-pound to rifles, disciples, the holy idles/Supreme truth, the cult leader with the green tooth
The multi-millionaire with a stare that can freeze troops/I program people to kill
The motiviational speaker, my words cause people to feel/It's mind control, let the cult leader guide your soul
Open up your eyes to the lies he told/The general, the chief, I be the political pioneer
The cult leader, you can believe in me, I am here/Bless the children, take you under my wing, shelter
Helter Skelter, this is it, you can't kill me I'll exist forever. Cult Leader!

Heheh. And yeah, my bad, I was corrected by someone in irc after I had posted this. All I knew was that he was born in the Victorian era; I never knew about the Edwardian era.

I believe that at one point Joyce praised Nora's "arse full of farts".

he was really into coprophilia and the like.
