Dilsey Chapter: April 8, 1928

What is the note at the end of the chapter about New York, N.Y. supposed to be? The last passage mentions the same Confederate statue that was at the beginning of the book. Which, along with everything else I've been reading, makes me believe that the New York note has nothing to do with the setting of the scene. So then what is it?
Other than that, the last scene had a lot of images from the first chapter. In my book it was page 8. The images were so similar I wondered if it was the same scene, but in the last scene the driver is Luster, and Mrs. Compson is not in the carriage. Re-reading the first scene also made it clearer why Benjy started sobbing. He says, "Then those on one side stopped at the tall white post where the soldier was. But on the other side they went on sooth and steady, but a little slower." Then at the end of the page he says, "The shapes flowed on. The ones on the other side began again, bright and fast and smooth, like when Caddy says we are going to sleep." Benjy starts sobbing when Luster drives the carriage to the left of the statue. But once the carriage goes back to the right side and starts moving,"...Ben hushed...as cornice and façade flowed smoothly once more from left to right, post and tree, window and doorway and signboard each in its ordered place." My first reaction was surprise. Why would Benjy care about order, "from left to right?" He doesn't even see time as linear. But visualizing the scene helps a little. He would be driving on the right side of the road, looking over his right shoulder. He says he could see "Facades," faces of buildings, no doubt well cared for. And these buildings would be the same buildings he has seen for his whole life. If the carriage suddenly lurches to the left, the Confederate soldier interposes itself between Benjy's field of view and the buildings. This could easily be taken as the old south pushing itself between Benjy's and the life and people he loved. And in keeping with this, Jason cannot shut Benjy up until the carriage gets back on the sight of the road. After that nothing Jason does, not breaking his flower or beating the horse, or even hitting him can do anything to perturb him. Because on this side of the road, Benjy is literally living in a time when he can still see Caddy and Quentin. It makes Jason's last words seem meaningless, "If you ever cross that gate with him again, I'll kill you!" And ironically enough, the flower Jason broke was a Narcissus, which in classical mythology came to be because of a man completely obsessed with his self image. Of course, Jason's image has just been completely destroyed, and like the broken flower, he has nobody but himself to blame.
