Una flor donada a mi hija

Frágil la blanca rosa es y frágiles son Las manos que la dieron Su alma está marchita y es más pálida Que la difusa onda del tiempo.

Como la rosa frágil y hermosa: aún más frágil es El silvestre prodigio Que en tus ojos ocultas, Mi pequeña de azuladas venas.

James Joyce. [Trieste, 1913]

Traducción de José Antonio Álvarez Amorós

A Flower Given to My Daughter/Frail the white rose and frail are/Her hands that gave/Whose soul is sere and paler/Than time’s wan wave./Rosefrail and fair — yet frailest/A wonder wild/In gentle eyes thou veilest,/My blueveined child.

Portrait of Lucia Joyce, 1927–28 by Berenice Abbott

Lucia Anna Joyce (26 July 1907 – 12 December 1982) was a professional dancer and the daughter of Irish writer James Joyce and Nora Barnacle. Once treated by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, Joyce was diagnosed as schizophrenic in the mid-1930s and institutionalized at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich. In 1951, she was transferred to St Andrew's Hospital in Northampton, where she remained until her death in 1982. She was the aunt of Stephen James Joyce. Via Wikipedia

Do you think there is truth that Joyce's daughter was actually a misunderstood soul and that Karl Jung actually ruined her life by his "treatment"?

Probably not. Even Foucauldian types skeptical of psychology like me believe schizophrenia—probably what she had—has a likely organic basis even if we don't understand it, i.e., more like a brain tumor than like a neurosis. Schizophrenia or, as this book suggests, congenital syphilis (though that book is slightly monomaniacal on the subject of syphilis). I know she's sort of an irresistible symbol with the thwarted dance career and everything, a modernist bacchante, even if we know we're not supposed to use illness as metaphor, and she even turns up briefly in one of the last chapters of my current work-in-progress, but I think the reality of the situation was unglamorous. She seems to have been incorrigibly physically violent, a danger to others, which doesn't come from being a misunderstood soul. Anyway, if we want, irresponsibly, to scandal-monger, speculatively to libel dead men, look not to the psychoanalyst but to the father himself:

Notwithstanding Mark Shechner's contention that "despite the ubiquity of confession in Ulysses and Joyce's other books, that crime remains as mysterious as Earwicker's crime in Phoenix Park," my conviction is that there is sufficient textual support in the novel, not only for fantasies of father/daughter incest, but for the actual occurrence.

Match Review: Liverpool Women 0-1 Manchester United Women

Bounce back accomplished.

Conti Cup action for United off the back of a weekend defeat at home to Manchester City, and a chance for slightly out-of-favour players to force their way back into Mark Skinner's plans.

Lucia Garcia back in the team, and wouldn't you know it, United looked SHARP with the sweary Spaniard hassling the Liverpool defence.

Garcia went close early on in the first half with a curled effort aimed at the top right corner, but the outswinging effort veered just wide. Rachel Williams also fluffed a straightforward header from a beautifully floated Nikita Parris cross. Parris decided to take manners into her own hands, and drifting from left to centre she held off three Liverpool players to ping a ball top left corner and 1-0 United.

Liverpool showed more bite in the second half, which led to some sensational keeping from United's no2 Phallon Tullis-Joyce. The American marine biologist didn't look like a fish out of water as she pulled off a clutch double save to preserve United's lead.

Lucia Garcia had a speculative effort in an attempt to make it 2-0, but the best chance fell to loanee Melvine Malard whose curling effort just wasn't quite angled wide enough to curve round the Liverpool keeper Micah and into the net.

A good win for United which on paper showed a slight advantage in possession and shots on target, which ultimately paid off. Not bad for a "second string" side, but with so many names who regularly play First XI the United squad is looking better in depth than perhaps it ever has before - albeit still with a few issues at full back.

Next up, a trip to Ashton Gate and southwest Bristol to face off against Bristol City; bottom of the WSL league. A record women's attendance has already been confirmed, and yours truly will be in amongst the away end cheering on United. Up the fucking reds!
