59. "He would wait for her in the little parlor of the sanitarium. From my knowledge of French salons...I can picture the scene. The small dark, overcrowded salon, the thin, darkhaired girl and the slender man with the thick glasses. She would greet him as a rule with pleasure. He would always bring her some gift, candy or fruit or sometimes a present of some sort, once a wristwatch, I remember. They would talk for awhile. She would ask about her mother and about Giorgio and me and Stephen. Then he or she would sit down at the piano and play and they would both sing. Sometimes they would dance together, and this to me is a terrible and fantastic picture. Babbo would tell us that they would dance with wild abandon together. Then would come the time when he had to go and a nurse would come to lead Lucia away. Babbo would return in the taxi, which he had kept waiting...in a state of complete exhaustion, near collapse. At dinner that evening at Fouquets he would tell us of the visit, eating almost nothing and drinking his usual succession of bottles of Swiss wine."

The following discussion of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake notebook observations supplements the summary chapter about the Wake at the end of my published biography of Lucia Joyce (chapter 16). In this supplementary material, the "sigla" for the daughter figure from Joyce's notebooks forms a kind of additional infrastructure of the biography, arranged chronologically and placed next to the actual events of Lucia's life. They show what Joyce observed about Lucia as she grew and they indicate her consistent influence on the final text of Finnegans Wake. They also indicate the composite nature of the daughter figure in the Wake, as Joyce merges experiential observations with notes from other sources about adolescent girls emerging into womanhood, figures like Alice Liddell from Alice in Wonderland, Isa Bowman, "Peaches" Browning, Isolde from Tristan and Isolde, Edith Thompson from the Trial of Frederic Bywaters and Edith Thompson, Lot's daughters, and so forth. In the early notebooks, the daughter is indicated by the nickname "Is" or "Issy" or "Isabeale" or some variation of the name "Isolde." Later, she, like all of the other major characters, acquired a symbol, , which could also appear on its side, facing either left or right. When used in combination with the symbol , Joyce was usually referring to some aspect of the love triangle in Tristan and Isolde. As Joyce moved from observations of Lucia to the final construction of Finnegans Wake, he went through numerous drafts. Following these drafts lets us see, in a way that is rarely available to scholars, the transposition of life into art. As Joyce progressed from watching his adolescent daughter, he joined her, in his imagination, with the situation of other young women entering into life for the first time. He shows them learning about the nature of human intimacy, the anatomy of sex, the secrecy, suspicions and possibilities for betrayal that can accompany sex, and the complexities and ambiguities of human emotional attachments. Of particular interest to me, was Joyce's propensity to align Lucia with "triangles" and with close brother-sister relationships in history and literature. That is, one of his basic instincts led him to figure her as (for example) Isolde in the the story of Tristan, King Mark and Isolde, where, interestingly, the triangle is transposed to Shaun, Earwicker and Issy, that is, to the Wakean characters associated, in familial terms, with Giorgio, Joyce and Lucia. This triangular pattern and the brother-sister attachment pattern are insistent in Joyce's notebooks, in his drafts and in the final version of Finnegans Wake. The triangular pattern is also insistent in my biography of Lucia, as published, but, with the addition of this notebook and draft evidence, the assertion of these heavily weighted familial relationships is even more compelling than in the published version made available to scholars and reviewers. In fact, given the consistency of Joyce's evidence, a biographer would have been irresponsible to create a narrative without these emotional constellations. Here you will find an additional infrastructure for my biography, given in the form of citations from the notebooks, for scholars who are interested in tracing most of Joyce's observations of the Lucia/Issy character. Also included are several examples of the transformational use of such material that I did not include in the final version of the book; that is, in the published book, I used only material from Finnegans Wake and not the genetic material leading up to it, the material that shows Joyce's chronological observation of Lucia and his transformational use of it.

The Dream Sequences

1. In an undated notebook, preserved in the Stuart Gilbert Papers (Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin), Lucia kept track of her dreams while she was at Northampton. She observed simply, "I told my dreams to Miss Harmer every morning and now I am going to try to write them down." Collectively they reveal the people who remained significant in memory along with a consistent and reiterated sense of danger and loss. Giorgio, Emil Fernandez and his cousin Roger Bickert populated her dreams, as did Samuel Beckett, Alec Ponisovsky, and her best friend, Kitten Neel. Her dance teachers appeared to her, as did experiences of music, dance, theater and ballet. In the world of sleep, what she loved vied with anxiety: she dreamed repeatedly of her father's death, of being lost, of being run over, of falling and of people disappearing. She recorded dream images of being in hotel rooms with men, of drinking "medicated milk," of a child in association with Roger Bickert, of being in a small room with Dr. Bertrand-Fontaine, and of losing a dog.

"I was in an old fashioned hotel with my mother and father so I decided to go to the cinema by myself so I went in a bus or tram and it was a small cinema. I got myself an ice cream then I talked in German to a taxi driver and I did not remember the name of the hotel in which my parents were. Then I was run over by a train. It was a place I did not know at all."
