The seashore seen from the Martello Tower. Dublin 1963. Published in Quinn, Edward. James Joyces Dublin. Secker & Warburg, London 1974. "The bard's noserag. A new art colour for our Irish poets: snotgreen". James Joyce, Ulysses, Telemachus p.3.
Viewed from Dublin's Martello Tower in 1963, the seashore is rendered in a striking yellow-green hue. This monochromatic treatment is a visual homage to James Joyce’s description of the "snotgreen" sea in *Ulysses*. Below a sky with scattered clouds, the sun casts a brilliant reflection upon the water, silhouetting the dark, glistening rocks of the foreground.
