Poetry Quote by Seamus Heaney — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I rhyme”

“Since when," he asked,”

“It is always better”

“All I know is a door into the dark”

“I suppose I'm saying that defiance is actually part of the lyric job”

“The way we are living,”

“I'd rather be thin than famous”

“It is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical will live the relation to another as something alive.”

“HEARTWORK”

“By daily dying, I have come to be.”

“Think long thoughts in short sentences.”

“…be awake to the Life”
