In this episode, we discuss what the heck Cock Lake is, why Stephen pees on the strand at the end of “Proteus”, the themes of generation and corruption in “Proteus”, the artistic merits of excrement, urination as an expression of freedom and creativity, Mother Grogan and her teapot, endowing waves with speech and animating the natural world, onomatopoeia, the rolling tide, St. Ambrose and the groaning of Creation, Ariel’s Song and The Tempest, and Dermot’s anti-Shakespeare propaganda.Sweny's Patreon helps keep this marvelous Dublin landmark alive.
