jackFrank Budgen once asked James Joyce how he was progressing on "Ulysses." Joyce replied that he had been working hard all day. Budgen said "Then you've written a great deal?"
Joyce said, "I have seven words comprising a whole sentence."
Budgen said, "Seven words? That's a lot for you."
Joyce replied, "Yes, it is. But now I can't figure out the order in which they belong."
