Michael Leddy “Orange Crate Art” is a song by Van Dyke Parks and the title of a 1995 album by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson. “Orange Crate Art” is for me one of the great American songs: “Orange crate art was a place to start.”

Nos plus grandes craintes, comme nos plus grandes espérances, ne sont pas au-dessus de nos forces, et nous pouvons finir par dominer les unes et réaliser les autres.

Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try.

I don’t really deeply feel that anyone needs an airtight reason for quoting from the works of writers he loves, but it’s always nice, I’ll grant you, if he has one.

As I am preparing to read _Ulysses_ for (yes, I confess it) the first time, would you have a recommendation regarding any particular edition?
I'd get the Modern Library edition, Timothy. The Gabler edition (Vintage) is pretty vexed.
Oh, also -- Don Gifford's Ulysses Annotated is tremendously helpful. It clears up all sorts of fact and reference without interpreting the novel for you. I'd recommend reading with this book nearby.
Thanks!
