13.646 "Louis J. Walsh"

Walsh beat Joyce in an 1899 student election (treasurer of Literary and Historical Society) and possibly again a year later for an oratory medal. In 1902 he attacked Joyce's speech on Mangan fairly violently. [cpc17] Stannie thought the attack was really about the 'Rabblement' essay of 1901. [mbk165] He was apparently really from Magherafelt in the north.

The 'Art thou real' poem is quoted in Stephen Hero attributed to Daedalus's Gaelic teacher, Hughes. I had understood the Gaelic teacher was Patrick Pearse, but Walsh was also a Gaelic enthusiast. In SH (Ch18 p83) the poem is an unpublished confidence shared by Madden, so if Walsh really wrote it and didn't publish it, Joyce is taking considerable liberties in doing so here. (Stannie says JAJ insulted something else Walsh wrote.)

The version in SH continues: 'Wilt thou ever come to me/ In the soft and gentle twilight/ With your baby on your knee?' and made Stephen (and Joyce) wince in agony.

Bloom quotes Hamlet, entirely out of context: "For this relief much thanks" [etext] (it may be that Bloom's literary references are often from the first page, implying he rarely read further)
