Through the ear of a raindrop. Listen now again.”

Why it can’t say a rich woman not all men are rich

peterlee · M

Comes from the poem, The Rain Stick, from the 2996 collection Spirit Level.

Heaney is my favourite poet, especially his early work, with references to The Troubles.

His latter work panders to his American audience, and is somewhat trite.
