A collection of Love Poems "Welladay! Welladay!, For the winds of May!, Love is unhappy when love is away!" The title of the book, "Chamber Music," was reportedly a pun relating to the sound of urine tinkling in a chamber pot, though this seems to be a later embellishment by Joyce of the title's meaning.

No obstante, esos nueve años sirvieron para que el autor revisara los textos y para que añadiese tres nuevos, dotando al libro de...
