J. Raymond Carroll Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 How did I end up like this? Seamus Heaney – Exposure0 annotations EmbedShow text activity How do I create annotations? It is December in Wicklow:Alders dripping, birchesInheriting the last light,The ash tree cold to look at.A comet that was lostShould be visible at sunset,Those million tons of lightLike a glimmer of haws and rose-hips,And I sometimes see a falling star.If I could come on meteorite!Instead I walk through damp leaves,Husks, the spent flukes of autumn,Imagining a heroOn some muddy compound,His gift like a slingstoneWhirled for the desperate.How did I end up like this?I often think of my friends'Beautiful prismatic counsellingAnd the anvil brains of some who hate meAs I sit weighing and weighingMy responsible tristia.For what? For the ear? For the people?For what is said behind-backs?Rain comes down through the alders,Its low conductive voicesMutter about let-downs and erosionsAnd yet each drop recallsThe diamond absolutes.I am neither internee nor informer;An inner émigré, grown long-hairedAnd thoughtful; a wood-kerneEscaped from the massacre,Taking protective colouringFrom bole and bark, feelingEvery wind that blows;Who, blowing up these sparksFor their meagre heat, have missedThe once-in-a-lifetime portent,The comet's pulsing rose.

J. Raymond Carroll Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) He fights to keep things basic to re-mind himself of the simple wisdom of Finn MacCool Ireland's mythic national hero that the best music in the world is the music of what happens In his Elegy dedicated to Lowell Heaney reminded himself The way we are living Timorous or Bold Will have been our Life So that is where Noli Timere comes from Never Fear Edited September 13, 2013 by J.
