Kelly and Dermot discuss one of the most metal passages in all of Ulysses! You can find it at the end of “Proteus” beginning with “A side eye at my Hamlet hat.” Topics include Hamlet (so much Hamlet), Stephen’s creative spark, more resent for Buck Mulligan, more grief for Stephen’s mother, the shifting protean nature of language and tides, various Biblical allusions, Stephen’s poem, Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Hellas, Dermot’s grudge against Galileo, the philology of colors, did the sea really look like wine in ancient Greece?, the Annunciation and Mary’s connection to the sea, the requiem Mass death, vampires, ghouls, anti-semitism and homophobia in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Joyce’s (possible) dig at Douglas Hyde’s Love Songs of Connacht, the music of the spheres and how libraries used to work.
