arts and crafts romance

trying to find a way back to a simple optimism.  Joyce in Trieste mixing with gypsies and futurists. Ulysses making the treacherous journey past plymouth censors, and passing hand from hand on a wave of artists to land in Woolfs sussex garden. Only to be dismissed as the adolescent scratching of pimples . But the elephantine pedant lumbers past this green eyed siren , and injects its inspiration into the arms of Nash, and Bell , and Epstein and bernard leach.
