"Joyce's formulae for the aesthetic experience is that is does not move you to want to possess the object, that he calls pornography, nor does it move you to criticise and reject the object that he calls didactics, social criticism and all that kind of thing. It is the holding the object and he says you put a frame around it and see it as one thing and then seeing it as one thing you become aware of the relationship of part to part, and part to the whole and the whole is to the parts. This is the essential aesthetic factor - rhythm, the rhythmic relationships and when a fortunate rhythm has been struck by the artist that is the radiance, that is the epiphany"
