QUOTE: - "Between Joyce and Wordsworth the differences in personal temperament and public 'image' are wide indeed, but we know from Joyce's letters that at a crucial moment in his creative life, at the time of Dubliners, he held Wordsworth in unique esteem. It is Wordsworth, Joyce writes, who 'of all English men of letters best deserves [the] word "genius"'. We cannot be far wrong if we take it that a chief ground for this superlative judgement was Wordsworth's devotion to the epiphany. The Wordsworthian epiphany has two distinct though related forms. In one, spirit shows forth from Nature; the sudden revelation communicates to the poet a transcendent message which bears upon the comprehension of human [p. 90] existence or upon the direction his own life should take. An example of this kind of epiphany is Wordsworth's experience of the mountain dawn which dedicates him to the priesthood of the imagination. The other, less grandiose and more closely connected with Joyce's epiphanies, [Among which, however, we must include the moment of glory on the strand when the world shows forth its beauty to Stepen Dedalus and, as for Wordsworth, makes the occasion of his dedicaton as a priest of art.] has as its locus and agent some unlikely person--a leech gatherer, a bereft and deserted woman, an old man on the road--who, without intention, by somethng said or done, or not done, suddenly manifests the quality of his own particular being and thus implies the wonder of beng in general." - (Trilling, Lionel. Sincerity and Authenticity. Cambridge, MA: Harvard Univ. Press. 1972)
