Notes by James Joyce for Finnegans Wake on Shakespeare & Company notepaper

Given by Sylvia Beach in 1962, this page of manuscript notes in James Joyce’s handwriting on Shakespeare & Co paper reads:

Walk while you have the night for morn, light breakfast bringer, morroweth whereon every past shall fall fast sleep.

These lines appear in Finnegans Wake: “Brave footsore Haun! Work your progress! Hold to! Now! Win out, ye divil ye! The silent cock shall crow at last. The west shall shake the east awake. Walk while ye have the night for morn, lightbreakfast bringer, morroweth whereon every past shall full fost sleep. Amain”. pg. 473 lines 22-25.

…far exceed what that bogus bolshy of a shame, my soamheis brother, Gaoy Fecks, is conversant with in audible black and prink. p424, lines 32-34.

…with half a glance of Irish frisky (a Juan Jaimesan hastaluego) from under the shag of his parallel brows. p470, lines 32-34.
