Goodbye now

• Goodbye now echoes the last lines of Buck Mulligan's "Ballad of Joking Jesus" in Ulysses 1.596-99:

"Goodbye, now, goodbye! Write down all I said

And tell Tom, Dick and Harry I rose from the dead.

What's bred in the bone cannot fail me to fly

And Olivet's breezy - Goodbye, now, goodbye!

William York Tindall in A Reader's Guide to Finnegans Wake (p. 228-29) suggests that this corresponds to the First Station (i.e., "Jesus is condemned to death") in Joyce's self-described mapping of this chapter to the Stations of the Cross.
