- Ulysses 271.003: "Chamber music. Could make a kind of pun on that. It is a kind of music I often thought when she. Acoustics that is. Tinkling. Empty vessels make most noise.

(Bloom musing on the fact that the sound of Molly pissing into the chamber pot makes a sort of "chamber music")
- Richard Ellmann, James Joyce 154: "Gogarty ... had brought Joyce to visit Jenny, an easy-going widow, and while they all drank porter Joyce read out his poems [Chamber Music] ... The widow ... had to interrupt to withdraw behind a screen to a chamber pot. As the two young men listened, Gogarty cried out, ‘There's a critic for you!’"
