Lucydlac
From FinnegansWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search'Lucy', the female name, comes from 'luce', 'lux', that is, light (and Lucia being also the name of Joyce's daughter). The image here, the shining lake in a high valley, evokes the hermit's hands enclosing the stream water, reinforcing the imagery of the masculine mountain (Finn-HCE turned into one some chapters ago) with the feminine water-lake-river.
Of course, it could be read also as 'lucid lake' (lac is Fr)
