People set more explicit goals for their lower priorities

This volume contains nothing on James Joyce. Two short pieces could have
been included, but the editors thought them too perfunctory, too hastily
journalistic to represent adequately Delmore's vast knowledge of the work
of his chief literary hero. A likely guess would be that an extended essay
or book on Joyce was one of Delmore's long entertained projects and that he
never accomplished the project precisely because he thought of it as
crucial.
