Human beings suffer,
They torture one another,
They get hurt and get hard.
No poem or play or song

Today on the shortest day of the year, we share a few lines from Seamus Heaney's 'A Dream of Solstice' where he reminds us of the wondrous event that takes place on this day every year 'inside the cosmic hill' at Newgrange.

Its #SeamusHeaney 's birthday - celebrate with an excerpt from 'The Wool Trade' โ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ช
'..And square-set men in tunics
Who plied soft names like Bruges
In their talk, merchants
Back from the Netherlands..'
Dawn light began stealing
Through the cold universe to County Meath,
Over weirs where the Boyne water, fulgent, darkling,
Turns its thick axle, over rick-sized stones
Millennia deep in their own unmoving
And unmoved alignment.
