Finnegans Wake


 

:For the street ballad, see Finnegan's Wake.

Quarks

The phrase "Three quarks for Muster Mark" on page 383 of Finnegans Wake led to the naming of quarks. (The phrase is sung by a chorus of seabirds, and probably means 'three cheers' or-- judging from Joyce's notes-- three jeers.)
