The farrow returns to the sow?

[Diable Rouge]

The current bid by Dublin councillors to have the remains of James Joyce repatriated to his birthplace can only be considered as ahistorical cultural philistinism - after all, the author consciously chose European exile as a revolt against the stultifying moral, social and cultural conservatism of the Ireland of his era, and indeed, as stories in Dubliners such as The Dead demonstrate, he explicitly linked departure from Ireland with imaginative freedom. Therefore, while it appears Nora Barnacle herself favoured the idea, the author himself would surely have resisted as personally anathema.

Bloody Nora.

The only justification for that shite is tourism. Those straw boater Bloomsday cunts are unbearable enough.
