Notice:
Spira Manes (the spiral of departed souls) is centered on the character of Stephen Dedalus who, along the seafront to return to the city, wanders on the beach at Sandymount. Then begins a monologue whose first clear and defined thoughts fade over the lines, creating words with multiple meanings, suggestive of different views, possible directions holders.
