[1882-1941]  Born in Dublin, this Irish novelist/poet revolutionized writing with his 'stream of consciousness' technique and his experiments with language, attempting a synthesis of all existence.  His first published book was a collection of love poems called, Chamber Music. http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/joyce01.html Shy thought and grave wide eyes and hands       That wander as they list -- The twilight turns to darker blue       With lights of amethyst.                                                        ~James Joyce
