Liner Notes

This piece appears in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, where a very young Stephen Dedalus quotes it verbatim, thinking in his sick bed how sweet and sad the words are and how sentimental his own funeral is likely to be. It is one of the first indications of Stephen's preoccupation with sounds and words.
