RALL 'CAN YOU not see, James Joyce wrote to his brother, 'that a deferment to the emancipation of the proletariat, reaction to clericism or aristocracy or bourgeoisism would mean a revulsion to tyrannies of all kinds.
These words weren't exactly over-quoted in the carnival of media adulation which week greeted the centenary of Joyce's birth. For the cultural establishment; Joyce is a precious example of the writer's remoteness from politics a high priest of art, cloistered and esoteric, WIlOSe incomprehensible provide intellectuals with a rather more elevated version of the Times crossword puzzle. Since he also wrote about Ireland, this snobbery can oe mixed in win a good dash of patronage. Earthy, drunken Irishmen with thick brogues fall amusingly around in his books, and he wasn't averse to a quick tipple himself.
The Ballad of James Joyce To the tune of Home Boys Home Chorus:
Well it's Bloom, boys, Bloom Bloom I'd like to see Tucked up in bed with his sweet Molly Made his life a hell in the south country Chorus It's a pity he didn't fit the stage- rish bill more exactly by actually dying of drink, but he was certainly a treak. how could any major artist pro. duced by tin-pot Te are not be? He did however have the good sense to CaVe his clodhopping compatriots to their bacon, and cabbage and head for the high cultural centres of Europe, where, the Icol humanity he holed himself up with a typewriter dull produced two enormous novels, have read but which all of us agree are, not least for a peasant, superb. Different The real story of James Joyce is rather different.
Born into a Catholic lower middle class Dublin family in 1882, he was part of the Cass which spearheaded In e Republican MOVement. But when he wrote of the need for a deferment to the proletariat', he was criticising, socialist internationalist, the most negative aspects of Irish Republicanism.
Well now who'd be taught Jesuits, unless you have no choice But that's the fate that lay in store for little Jimmy Joyce They lashed him and they smashed him though he could hardly see Until he turned around and said 'two fingers Lord to thee' For the Popes and the dopes and the petty bourgeoisie Well Jim's daddy was a drinking man who idolised Parnell And his mammy was a pious lass who lived in fear of hell But neither hell nor Parnell struck Jimmy as much cor Compared with Nora Barnacle but there I'd better stop Well he had a spree at TCD proclaiming Ibsen trumps Till pious professors landed him some spiritual thumps 'You're a traitor to your country Sir and your religion too' So Jimmy turned and growled again 'two fingers Sir to you' What with clerics and Sinn Feiners our Jim was in a mess So he upped and off to Paris and to Zurich and Trieste With love and hate for Ireland at war within his heart He learned what can't be done in life can still be on in art
