Spice and Westend Woman

• Time and Western Man: 1927 book by Wyndham Lewis that critiques modernism. Its "displeaced diorems" probably refers to its final chapter, "An Analysis of the Mind of James Joyce," essentially an attack:

"There is not very much reflection going on at any time inside the head of Mr James Joyce. ... Joyce is the poet of the shabby-genteel, impoverished intellectualism of Dublin. His world is the small middle-class one, decorated with a little futile ‘culture,’ of the supper and dance-party in The Dead. Wilde, more brilliantly situated, was an extremely metropolitan personage, a man of the great social work, a great lion of the London drawing-room. Joyce is steeped in the sadness and the shabbiness of the pathetic gentility of the upper shopkeeping class, slumbering at the bottom of a neglected province; never far, in its snobbishly circumscribed despair, from the pawn-shop and the ‘pub.’"
