uncertaintimes: i12bent: Once or twice Joyce dictated a bit of Finnegans Wake to Beckett … in the middle of one such session there was a knock on the door which Beckett did not hear. Joyce said, “Come in,” and Beckett wrote it down. Afterwards, he read back what he had written and Joyce said, “What’s that ‘Come in’?” “Yes, you said that,” said Beckett. Joyce thought for a moment, then said, “Let it stand.” (from Ellmann’s Joyce bio) Photo of Beckett from the shooting of his 1965 Film, w. ‘star’ Buster Keaton
