Explore "Bahnhofstrasse" by James Joyce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The eyes that mock me sign the way / Whereto I pass at eve of day, / Grey way whose violet signals are / The trysting and the twining star.
Ah star of evil! star of pain!
Highhearted youth comes not again / Nor old heart's wisdom yet to know / The signs that mock me as I go.
Zurich, 1918.
