@Mystro84 "Never, ever have children"? I'd be sorry had I not been granted existence, though oblivious to be sure. It seems to me that to deny a generation its existence is a thoroughly un-Darwinian thing to say

Much of the poem has been excised. Two stanzas were omitted by the editor after the first...

"just another massively overrated irish quisling"
Firstly: please, on behalf of all Darwinists, never, ever have children.
Secondly: Seamus Heaney is a Nobel Laureate, and widely considered the best living European poet. Seriously, if you must spit venom, at least keep turn away from Ireland's greatest living treasure.
Finally: 'Quisling' is actually a political term. As the great Robert Frost once put it:
"Politics is about the grievance, Poetry is about the grief".

There's something of Walt Whitman pouring through this, it seems to me.

stop talking about the treaty and just listen to the mans poem

There are no actual arguments being made by the poet. Has he even read the treaty I wonder? Or does he just like the earthy, airy idea of it?
