Seamus Heaney

“Hope and history rhyme.”
“Between my finger and my thumb / The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.”
“The way we are living, timorous or bold, will have been our life.”
“Walk on air against your better judgement.”
“Believe that a further shore is reachable from here.”
“If you have the words, there's always a chance that you'll find the way.”
