Re: Dhalgren's first and last line

It's on page 806 in my copy (the old Bantam edition).
Also (and this is a bit off the topic), there's this sentence several
lines later on the same page: "Maundy, Tributary, Whitstanly,
Fibrilation, Factotum, Susquahana, Summer-fine day." When I reread it
about a month ago, it reminded of Joyce's "All moanday, tearsday,
wailsday, thumpsday, frightday, shatterday till the fear of the Law."
This looks more like some allusion to Finnegans Wake and not the
first/last sentence thing. Or maybe it was not done on purpose.
