This scrap ot a sentence almost certainly applies to FW (SO, 30): "We think
not in words but in shadows of words. James Joyce´s mistake in those
otherwise marvelous mental soliloquies of his consists in tht he gives too
much verbal body to his thoughts"

I suppose this might apply by extension to FW, but surely VN here means primarily, and quite possibly exclusively, the "stream of consciousness" passages in "Ulysses". After all, FW is supposed to consist of dream, not "mental soliloquies".
