Comment: Re: SHK 7.0471 Q: Shakespeare/Joyce Quote

For Professor Leo Daugherty:

Near the end chapter 10 of _Ulysses_ (I don't have my H.W. Gabler edition handy
or I would give the line numbers), Haines offers a half-hearted apology to
half-hearted Mulligan for missing Stephen's discussion of _Hamlet_ (he was in
Gill's buying a copy of Hyde's _Lovesongs of Connacht_). It goes like this: ...O, but you missed Dedalus on Hamlet

Haines opened his newbought book.

-- I'm sorry, he said. Shakespeare is the happy huntingground of all
minds that have lost their balance.

The onelegged sailor growled at the area of 14 Nelson street:

-- England expects...

Buck Mulligan's primrose waistcoat shook gaily to his laughter.

-- You should see him, he said, when his body loses its balance.
Wandering Aengus I call him.

-- I am sure he has an idee fixe, Haines said, pinching his chin
thoughtfully with thumb and forefinger. Now I am speculating what it
would be likely to be. Such persons always have.

I hope you find this information helpful. Actually, in Stephen's discussion of
_Hamlet_ in the previous chapter there are several references to the sonnets
which you may find interesting, if not directly relevant to your query.
