'the portals of discovery'

John Eglinton looked into the tangled glowworm of his lamp. 
The world believes that Shakespeare made a mistake, he said, and got out of it as quickly and as best he could. 
Bosh! Stephen said rudely. A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.
James Joyce, Ulysses (1922)
