“How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind’s prudent folly? That is the hero’s ultimate difficult task. How render back into light-world language the speech-defying pronouncements of the dark? How represent on a two-dimensional surface a three-dimensional form, or in a three-dimensional image a multi-dimensional meaning?" /...\ "Many failures attest to the difficulties of this life-affirmative threshold.” ― Joseph Campbell (Sarah Lawrence College for women), The Hero With a Thousand Faces, 1949
Noteworthy: Joseph Campbell married one of his own students on May 5, 1938, Jean Erdman. This was 364 days before the May 4, 1939 final publication of Finnegans Wake. Both took a keen interest in James Joyce. Jean Erdman created the excellent Finnegans Wake Dance "The Coach with the Six Insides", a couple of Joyceans! Jean Erdman died May 4, 2020 at the age of 104. !JamesJoyceExperience@lemm.ee
