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.
How exactly does God become a featherbed mountain? What the heck is a featherbed mountain? We answer these questions and more in this episode of Blooms & Barnacles!
Topics covered in this episode include Dermot’s hot take on Richard Dawkins, Renaissance magic, theosophy, metempsychosis, Dublin seagulls, linear v. cyclical world-views, Dermot takes on Jared Diamond, consubstantiality, the Stephen seeks freedom from his father, the ichthys symbol, minnows eating spongy titbits, Hamlet, the legend of the barnacle goose, Gerald of Wales, the conundrum that barnacle geese caused the Catholic Church, the immaculate conception of barnacle geese, domestic geese v. wild geese, the Featherbed Mountains, Molly’s featherbed, why Lenehan is the worst, and why Stephen needs the love and support of a good friend.

The end is nigh.
Kelly and Dermot discuss in the depth the drowning motif of “Proteus”. Other topics include The Tempest and Ariel’s Song, the wily nature of the sea, Stephen’s estrangement from his father Simon, the role of alcohol in the lives of Ulysses characters, quitting alcohol, rising corpses, sea change, porpoises, the ancient Egyptian Book of Thoth, spongy titbits, Stephen’s connection to a corpse, looking for a way out of a suffocating home life, why Buck Mulligan is a terrible friend, Stephen’s fear of failure and of becoming his father, Stephen’s guilt at abandoning his sisters, the mentality of a bucket of crabs, and why Dermot thinks the Dedalus family would have been great on The Jerry Springer Show.
Decoding Dedalus: Full Fathom Five
Kelly helps Dermot remember why he drew James Joyce wearing red, killer heels. Topics include subtle Homeric correspondences, Dermot’s allegiance to Mr. Kipling’s cakes, Stéphane Mallarmé’s ‘L'après-midi d'un faune’ (The afternoon of a faun), more ire directed at that mocker Buck Mulligan, Stephen’s tiny feet, Stephen’s erstwhile friendship with Cranly, Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, John Francis Byrne, Cranly’s feelings for Stephen, Wilde’s love that dare not speak its name, themes of masculinity and male friendships, Senator David Norris on gay themes in Ulysses and Dedalus/Mulligan slash fiction.
Decoding Dedalus: A Dedalus Never Pays His Debts
The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name
Kelly and Dermot take on a deceptively simple passage in “Proteus” as they attempt to answer that ultimate question - what is the word known to all men?
Topics covered in this episode include Stephen’s loneliness and why Joyce felt it was necessary for him to be totally alone, a mysterious discrepancy in Ulysses’ various editions, the 1984 Gabler edition of Ulysses, the universal Truth of a mother’s love, the universal Truth of death, how to escape from a troublesome duality, Rawhead and Bloodybones, the connection between love and death, and crab people.
No Berkelyan idealism, we promise!
**A note from the Department of Corrections: Kelly remarks that her 1990 edition of Ulysses contains the text as it was corrected and reset in 1963. That year should have been 1961. The responsible parties have been flogged.
Form of my form! Who watches me here?
Kelly and Dermot wade into the final pages of “Proteus” to spend some time with old faves like Aristotle, Bishop Berkeley and Giordano Bruno. We dig deeper into Stephen Dedalus’ internal monologue while discussing Stephen’s concern for his future legacy, Stephen’s shadow, darkness shining in the brightness, the squid people of Procyon 5, the Delta of Cassiopeia, Roman augury, Giordano Bruno’s belief that the constellations were morally corrupt, and the written word as a Berkeleyan abstraction.

White thy fambles, Red thy gan!

Stephen Dedalus learns the value of gentlemanly blasphemy in this episode of Blooms & Barnacles. Our hero evades the nets of his oppressors while recalling a conversation with a friend in Paris. Topics include the changing face of Ringsend, the Pigeonhouse, Stephen's epiphanies and the Epiphany, Dermot speaking French, what Jules Michelet doesn't know about women, absinthe, the elaborate blasphemies of Leo Taxil's pornographic pope period, Baphomet, the freemasons, and the greatest trick ever played on the Catholic Church (that might be overstating it, but it's a fun story).

Stephen contemplates the horror of a visit to his Aunt Sara and Uncle Richie's house. We discuss parallels in this scene with Joyce's real life aunt and uncle, why Joyce's Aunt Josephine gave away her first edition of Ulysses, the intractable Dubliner/culchie divide, middle class pretension, Hiberno-English, Wilde's Requiescat, and the difficulty of parsing conversations written in Joyce's signature stream of consciousness.
