James Joyce on his wife:

"It is wonderful to f*** a farting woman when every f*** drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also. "

  2. What does this tell us about love, Shalomeister?

    You should look up the original letters, too. Add them to this post.

  3. It tells us that James Joyce was very close to his wife. I mean, verrrrry close. I suppose, in a strange way, this is a sort of dream marriage. Even flatulence is a wonderful thing in the sharing of these two souls with each other.

    Or maybe Joyce was just a kinky old Iris dude.
