A real poet, isn't he? Amazing stuff.

Priceless!

The greatest Irish poet ever. A true gentleman & scholar, faithful to his unique talent and modest with it all.

Take the phone off the hook!!!

One of the greatest losses to us all.

I could go on listening to these beautiful poems and never tire.

Heaney Nobel acceptance speech

lol

Real down-to-earth approach to poetry with lucid and life-like description of events in detail. Wish you the very best in the other world, Mr. Seamus and may God bless your soul.

There once was a poet named William Blake,
He made me a huge battenburg cake
It stuck firm in my throat,
Before turning into a slithering stoat
Befriending Blake was a terrible mistake

I love... I very very love poetry of seamus heaney

Death of naturalist my favourite work

We need to the potato eaters
The remnant of Cromwel's Holachaust
We need to learn from them
Who struggled against the children of the dragon spawn
The children of the woman stayed
There in the sod they lived and prayed.

Unplug the damn phone!

Howl at the troubles, that’s all you can do

The elders, family and so on may have been right about real labor. Just saying.
