Another Wake For Joyce
The 25th anniversary of James Joyce’s death was celebrated last month in Paris, a city where from 1920 he lived for nearly 20 years. The meeting, graced by the presence of the Irish Ambassador (indicating a shift in official attitude to Ireland's greatest humourist), included some appropriate professorial tribute and solemn literary dissection. The “Financial Times” discovered that a telegram from Niall Montgomery (architect, artist, and critic) in Dublin had been suppressed. From Finntown’s Generous Poet's Office it demanded: “Animadiaboii, illumne credidistis mortuum?” It should have been recognised as the Latin translation of the last lines of the ballad which gives its name to Joyce’s last work: “Souls to the Devil! D’ye think I’m dead?”
