3 Seamus Heaney Quotes on Writing

Seamus Heaney quotes on writing

1. I rhyme To see myself, to set the darkness echoing.

2. The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge Through living roots awaken in my head. But I've no spade to follow men like them. Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests. I'll dig with it.

7. For ett forfattarskap av lyrisk skonhet och etiskt djup, som lyfter fram vardagens mirakler och det levande forflutna.
