"C. G." refers to the Swiss depth psychologist, who famously wrote a highly controversial review of Ulysses.
"Carr" refers to Henry Carr, who, like Joyce, had acted in an English-language Zurich performance of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. Carr and Joyce fell out, which led to litigation – and this poem. (Tom Stoppard has incorporated this story in his brilliant play Travesties.)
