  1. ‘Sad Presentiments of What Must Come to Pass’:Seamus Heaney and Violence Dr. Irene De Angelis University of Turin

  2. ‘All changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.’ (W. B. Yeats)

  3. The bees build in the crevices Of loosening masonry, and there The mother birds bring grubs and flies. My wall is loosening; honey-bees, Come build in the empty house of the stare. … A barricade of stone or of wood; Some fourteen days of civil war; Last night they trundled down the road That dead young soldier in his blood: Come build in the empty house of the stare.

  4. Seamus Heaney, 13th April 1939-30th August 2013
