词源 | locale was Celtic and his season Spring. The pertinent part of Judge John M. Woolsey’s U.S. district court decision of De- cember 6, 1983, allowing James Joyce’s Ulysses to be brought into the country, reads as follows: “In respect of the recurrent emergence of the theme of sex in the minds of his [Joyce’s] characters, it must always be remembered that his locale was Celtic and his season Spring . . . whilst in many places the effect of Ulysses on the reader undoubtedly is somewhat emetic, no- where does it tend to be an aphrodisiac. Ulysses may therefore be admitted into the United States.” |
