A collection of Love Poems "Welladay! Welladay!, For the winds of May!, Love is unhappy when love is away!" The title of the book, "Chamber Music," was reportedly a pun relating to the sound of urine tinkling in a chamber pot, though this seems to be a later embellishment by Joyce of the title's meaning.

Lo mismo se dijo del Ulises cuando en 1924 un grupo de notables españoles la declararon intraducible.
