    About this ebook

    Chamber Music is a collection of poems by James Joyce, the author of Ulysses. The collection originally comprised thirty-four love poems, but two further poems were added before publication ("All day I hear the noise of waters" and "I hear an army charging upon the land"). The poems continue to have an accessible lyricism which has led to a wide-ranging number of musical adaptations.

    James Joyce

    James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was born in Dublin in 1882. One of the most influential writers of the 20th Century, Joyce's life was punctuated by poverty, critical controversy and self-imposed exile. Joyce was one of the pioneering figures of modernism and counted W.B. Yeats and Ezra Pound amongst his earliest supporters. Before his death in 1941, Joyce had published Ulysses, Finnegan's Wake, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Dubliners; works that today are recognized as amongst the greatest achievements in literature.

      That wind is from the North, I know it well;No other breeze could have so wild a swell.Now deep and loud it thunders round my cell,Then faintly dies,And softly sighs,And moans and murmurs mournfully.I know its language; thus is speaks to me – ‘I have

      Strings in the earth and air

      Make music sweet;

      Strings by the river where

      The willows meet.

      There's music along the river

      For Love wanders there,

      Pale flowers on his mantle,

      Dark leaves on his hair.

      All softly playing,

      With head to the music
