“pure reverie”

Emeric Fischer:

Ulysses can be read with passion without intellectually understanding the text. In this case, we identify ourselves completely with the character, our imagination lays hold of his sensation, his pleasure, his remiscences, and we live with him, we dream with him. The prolonging of the interior monolgue in our imagination will provoke pure reverie … Because the interior monologue in its fragmentary incoherence includes, as we have seen before, all the logical structure and grammatical armature of thought.
