Listen "Rere Regardant"
Episode Synopsis
This episode’s passage comes from p. 50-51 in my edition of Ulysses (1990 Vintage International), and covers the passage beginning “Come. I thirst.” and ending “…a silent ship.” We did it!!! We finally finished “Proteus”! We’re covering the last page of Ulysses’ third episode this week. Topics include Dermot’s love of tall ships and the Master and Commander novels, why a ship isn’t always a ship, Biblical allusions galore, why Stephen invokes Lucifer, cockle hats and sandal shoon, how Stephen tamed Proteus, half-remembered Tennyson, Stephen’s terrible teeth, themes of decay and creation, Kinch the Superman, the symbolism of shells, Stephen the nose picker, heraldry, the appearance of the Rosevean, and a nautical representation of the crucifixion.Sweny's Patreon helps keep this marvelous Dublin landmark alive.
