"Saya telah bekerja keras pada [Ulysses] sepanjang hari, "kata Joyce. Apakah itu berarti Anda telah banyak menulis?" Saya bilang. Dua kalimat, "kata Joyce. Saya melihat ke samping tetapi Joyce tidak tersenyum. Saya memikirkan [novelis Prancis Gustave] Flaubert." Anda telah mencari mot juste? "Saya berkata. Tidak," kata Joyce. "Aku sudah memiliki kata-kata. Yang aku cari adalah urutan kata yang sempurna dalam kalimat."

I've been working hard on [Ulysses] all day," said Joyce. Does that mean that you have written a great deal?" I said. Two sentences," said Joyce. I looked sideways but Joyce was not smiling. I thought of [French novelist Gustave] Flaubert. "You've been seeking the mot juste?" I said. No," said Joyce. "I have the words already. What I am seeking is the perfect order of words in the sentence.
