"There is a dynamic of knots; it serves for nothing (sert á rien), but, finally, it grips (serre)."
--Jacques Lacan, Le Sinthome 2/10/76--

". . . I would hope, if he were here, to convince him that that he wanted to be Joyce the Symptom, in that, of the symptom, he gives us the apparatus, the essence, the abstraction . . . The symptom is purely what lalangue conditions, but, in a certain fashion, Joyce carries it to the power of language, without forasmuch any of it being analyzable; it is what strikes, and literally dumbfounds (interdit) . . . But we can call it something else, and it is here that I today crown what it is with the Name-of-the-Father at the point (degré) where Joyce testifies to it--with what it is appropriate to call the sinthome. It is inasmuch as the unconscious is knotted to the sinthome, which is what there is of the singular for each individual, that one can say that Joyce, as is written somewhere, is identified with the individual (in English in the original)."
--Jacques Lacan, Joyce le Symptome I, June 16, 1975 (my translation)--

". . . lo, as you would quaffoff his fraudstuff and sink teeth through pyth of flowerwhite bodey behold of him as behemoth for he is noewhemoe. Finiche! Only a fadograph of a yestern scene."
--Finnegans Wake, p. 7--

"He has hidden his name, a fair name . . . in the plays, a super here, a clown there, as a painter of old Italy set his face in a dark corner of his canvas."
--Ulysses, Gabler edition, p. 172--

Lacan Links

"I am not simply that punctiform being established at the geometric point where perspective is grasped. No doubt, in the depth of my eye, the picture is painted. The picture, certainly, is in my eye. But me, I am in the picture."
--Jacques Lacan, Les quatre concepts fondamentaux de la psychanalyse, p. 110-111 (my translation)--
