Abstract
James Joyce had come to Paris from Zürich. In the summer of 1920 I went there with Thomas Stearns Eliot. We went there on our way to the Bay of Quiberon for a summer holiday, which his wife said would do him good. We descended at a small hotel, upon the left bank of the River Seine. It was there I met, in his company, James Joyce for the first time. And it was the first time that Eliot had seen him, too. Joyce was the last of my prominent friends to be encountered; last but not least.
