My heart besieged by anger, my mind a gap of danger,
I walked among their old haunts, the home ground where they bled;
And in the dirt lay justice like an acorn in the winter
Till its oak would sprout in Derry where the thirteen men lay dead.
Seamus Heaney
The Road to Derry (of Bloody Sunday, Derry, 30 Jan 1972)

And found myself thinking: if it were nowadays,
This is how Death would summon Everyman.
Seamus Heaney
A Call

Until, on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclava.
Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at cannon.
Seamus Heaney
Requiem for the Croppies.

No death outside my immediate family has left me more bereft. No death in my lifetime has hurt poets more.
Seamus Heaney
Funeral oration for Ted Hughes 3 Nov 1998
