Abstract
Abstract “Bahnhofstrasse” One of the 13 poems that appears in Joyce’s second collection of verse, POMES PENYEACH (1927). This short poem was composed in Zurich around 1918, after Joyce’s first attack of glaucoma on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse in August 1917. The imagery in the opening line of the poem underscores Joyce’s reaction to this initial eye problem, which is coupled with the realization of lost youth. The poem’s pensive mood reflects Joyce’s twofold concern about his growing blindness and the process of aging.
