“Sunlight pillars through glass, probes each desk
For milk-tops, drinking straws and old dry crusts.
The music strides to challenge it,
Mixing memory and desire with chalk dust.”
Seamus Heaney (1966)

I'm writing a Commentary on Seamus Heaney's Poems on Substack. There's 550 poems in total & so far I've written commentaries on 38 poems. The whole project will be finished in two years' time. Meanwhile, my third collection, Cheap Music, is going through the press. Busy boy! #Heaney #Poems #Ireland

Today's poem, #115, is "Gallarus Oratory" by Seamus #Heaney. Many years ago I spent 3 weeks traveling troughout Ireland and this place, a stonework built by ancient masons, became an obsession. 25+ years later I wrote a poem, today, inspired by this very place.
thank you for the reminder!

“In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter, and inland among stones
The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit”
Seamus Heaney (1996)

From #Heaney’s first published poem.
Close hills
Shimmered
Liquidly, fascinating the mower,
Lark’s trills
Shimmered
Down the thin burnt air. Lower
And deeper and cooler sinks now
The sycamore’s shade, and naked sheaves
Are whitening on the empty stubble.

A rare—and beautiful—Heaney poem with an American setting (Massachusetts).

Just bought ‘The Translations of Seamus #Heaney’ in Trinity College, #Dublin. He has a longer translation of the full Pangur Ban:
A poem about Glendalough, Co.Wicklow, Ireland

Blackberry Picking. A blackberry porter by Heaney Brewery
Its #BlackberryPicking time of year! What a beaut this is. A lovely, not too sweet, rounded porter. ‘Like thickened wine: summer’s blood was in it’ #IrishCraftBeer #BeerSkyB #Heaney
When all the others were away at Mass
I was all hers as we peeled potatoes.
They broke the silence, let fall one by one
Like solder weeping off the soldering iron:
Cold comforts set between us, things to share.

You can still feel the community pack
This place: it’s like going into a turfstack,
A core of old dark walled up with stone
A yard thick. When you’re in it alone,
You might have dropped, a reduced creature
To the heart of the globe. No worshipper
Would leap up to God off this floor.

"Like the gnarled hands
of a drowned witch
petrified in mid-curse—
these roots grip
the underworld’s ledger,
their cursive script
recording every murder
committed by drought." Seamus Heaney (2006)

"Rilke: The Apple Orchard," by Seamus Heaney
Come just after the sun has gone down, watch
This deepening of green in the evening sward:
Is it not as if we’d long since garnered
And stored within ourselves a something...
