“It is always betterto avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning.For every one of us, living in this worldmeans waiting for our end. Let whoever canwin glory before death. When a warrior is gone,that will be his best and only bulwark.”Seamus Heaney Source: Beowulf
“I can't think of a case where poems changed the world, but what they do is they change people's understanding of what's going on in the world.”Seamus Heaney
