about

Afraid for his daughter’s welfare (read, sanity), James Joyce brought Lucia to see the renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung, who concluded that Lucia was falling into madness whereas her father was diving in.
To read James Joyce at length (I have inferred) is to witness the whirl of an intellect spinning out beyond another’s comprehension. Lucia, lovelorn perhaps after her rebuttal by Samuel Beckett, kept on falling. Beckett, despite, some say, using Lucia as unflattering fodder for his fiction, was one of the few to visit her after she was committed to a mental institution. She would remain in institutions until her death at 75 in Northampton, England.

lyrics

Lucia is falling, as you are diving
And the cure for neither is a day in hiding
I am a servant to your verse; I am a cipher for your curse
And into the night, in search on search, along the riverrun
from swerve of shore to bend of bay, under the veil of words
I am a young man, a diagnosis
I leave a morsel to lives devoted
A breach for your voice, full in force; a flood expectant to leave you hoarse
And into the night, in search on search, along the riverrun
from swerve of shore to bend of bay, under the veil of words
never to reach him, never to speak him, alone, at last, unloved
Untethered the universe drifts, like a pond that ripples till flat
each ampulet’s epithet sighing, alone and unloved in Northampt’
