    R.I.P. Seamus I am 81 years old and I still can not make sense of life I keep trying

      The meaning is there, waiting for you Thomas. It's in small things. A draught of air. A voice in the street.

    I agree with him about the 'I' and the 'We" I found the same In the Netherlands when I moved from Ireland. Seamus you meant so much to us all. Rest.

    A great sense of loss, grief. What a wholly likeable, modest man. Ireland's greatest poet ever .

    It's striking just how lucid he is, even as an old man, he isn't wishy-washy or pretentious, he's clear in thought and word.

    @Necronpc99 The ability to write well can, of course be a gift- and people like Heaney are usually extraordinarily gifted to begin with, and they apply hard work to an existing proficiency. Whatever self-help book you're using for guidance is lying to you. Heaney notes in a preface to an edition of Wordsworth, how dispute his enduring work ethic his vision receded from him with age- he sadly lost his way, and he never chose to do so, consciousness is Too complex to be guided by a rudder of inten

    @mouthforwar93 writing, or art for that matter, is less than one percent talent as a natural gift. Talent is unending patience in constant failure, talent does not equal ambition.

    Some say that poetry, like opera, is a hoax. They don't know the meaning of beauty.

    "There’s never going to be a united Ireland, you know. So why don’t you let them fly the flag?” Giving those Neanderthal Unionists a cosy Collective Security blanket ......Way to go Seamus....

      What those Neandethal Unionists don't realise is that they're Irish.
