L. gifted me a rare copy of Joyce’s Pomes Penyeach (1942 edition): Joyce’s attempt to create neologisms wasn’t exactly appreciated at the time (and was initially rejected by Ezra Pound), yet it still works in odd and enchanting ways.
Rosefrail and fair—yet frailest
A wonder wild
In gentle eyes thou veilest,
My blueveined child. ©
