This popular song by Paul Simon high on the charts in 1966 included the line "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls" and this was mentioned in the NYTimes this week. Back then service on the "underground" was not perfect which prompted a graffiti artist to borrow and adapt the Latin phrase "Gloria Mundi is sic of transit" - a prophet with a sense of humor which we all need to survive urban life.
