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

“It is always better”

“I want away to the house of death, to my father under the low, clay roof.”

“I can't think of a case where poems changed the world, but what they do is they change people's understanding of what's going on in the world.”

“There is risk and truth to yourselves and the world before you.”

“Let whoever can win glory before death.”

“The way we are living,”

“সারাটি রাত্রি তারাটির সাথে তারাটিরই হয় কথা,”

“I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”

“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”

“In a serener Bright,”

“Life. This morning the sun made me adore it. It had, behind the dripping pine trees, the oriental brightness, orange and crimson, of a living being, a rose and an apple, in the physical and ideal fusion of a true and daily paradise.”

“Before getting translated, a poem already gets shrunk or expanded within the ‘sphere of intellect’ of the translator in the original language, and it again gets shrunk or expanded within the ‘sphere of intellect’ of the translator in the target language.”
