Finnegans Wake in the New York Subway

In February, my roommate Angie and I went to New York to escape the Vancouver Olympics and also my Joyce thesis. Coming out of the subway station at Bryant Park near Times Square, we saw this quote from Finnegans Wake tiled into the wall.


The text, from Chapter I section 8, reads "Tellmetale of stem or stone. Beside the rivering waters of, hitherandthithering waters of. Night!"
- Finnegans Wake p. 216
