In Bridgetown, owing to my headaches, I spent many hours on the divan in the back parlor; in the bookcase beside me was a little set of Shakespeare's works: except the volume containing Hamlet, in which Granny had come across a passage that "wasn't nice": so she had burnt the book. What would Granny have thought of Ulysses?

Sylvia Beach, the owner of Shakespeare and Company (Paris) and publisher of James Joyce's Ulysses, is buried in Princeton Cemetery. Her father, the Rev. Sylvester Beach, was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Princeton from 1906 to 1923.
