Famous quotes containing the word heaney:

    Up, black, striped and damasked like the chasuble
    At a funeral mass, the skunk’s tail
    Paraded the skunk.
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    At closing time would go
    In waders and peaked cap
    Into the showery dark,
    A dole-kept breadwinner
    But a natural for work.
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    It was a day of cold
    Raw silence, wind-blown
    Surplice and soutane:
    Rained-on, flower-laden
    Coffin after coffin
    Seemed to float from the door
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
