On Essex Quay in Dublin, 1963, a man in a long coat pauses at the heavy stone wall to light a cigarette. Across the river stands Upper Ormond Quay, where the Ormond Hotel—a key location in the "Sirens" chapter of James Joyce’s *Ulysses*—is visible among a row of terraced buildings. In the foreground, two large flags, one bearing a castle insignia, billow in the wind under an overcast sky.
