Apr2001: The University of Tulsa has put their Ellmann page back up.
[Just collecting quotes at this point]
p71: "Perhaps to substantiate his high opinion of his own work, Joyce wrote the editor of the Fortnightly Review..."
p87: "This is the sort of letter that the recipient discards hastily and the writer files away..."
p106: "his usual impetuous quickness to discover enemies"
p106: "he always presented his caprices as reasoned plans"
p109: "Joyce needed exile as a reproach to others and a justification of himself"
p109: "he fattened on opposition and grew thin and pale when treated with indulgence"
p114: "to be 'alone and friendless' was tolerable; to have his poem rejected was less so... compounding these hints with a child's helplessness..."
p116: "In actual life Joyce searched in vain for any foundation for his feeling" [about Byrne's betrayal]
p119: "employing what was by now a favorite device... immediately launched into a strange, sententious discussion"
p119: "Joyce offered no such encomium."
p119: "Joyce imaginatively transformed such remote possibilities into certainties"
p119: "probably feeling that he had acted foolishly"
p120: "signed his name and the date after each as if to guarantee its importance"
p122: "He pursued her relentlessly with the glazed, unseeing eye of the very hungry man, his pity reserved for himself"
p124: "since Joyce was equally doctrinaire"
p125: "No manuscript was ever read with less sympathy."
p127: "a useful check on his own penchant for lyricism"
p112: "Maud Gonne... her niece" (daughter)
p115: "As a last gesture" (a full week before leaving)
p116: (account of Byrne-break makes no sense)
p117: "Gogarty... taking a degree at Oxford" (Oxford was 1904; 1903 was Trinity)
p118: (Best and Magee didn't start at Library until 1904)
p118: Best "spoke with a prissiness" (not really)
p118: Magee "was down on the imagination" (not exactly)
p120: LadyG "visiting in London" (winter residence, I think)
p121: "Men and Women... never appeared" (it did)
p127: "changing his name to Rene-Ulysse" (not Chown)
p128: "Then came a hint" (time-inversion of telegram)
