Making Sense of a Life

[@thomasmckenna5372]

R.I.P. Seamus I am 81 years old and I still can not make sense of life I keep trying

[@tommaso7994]

The meaning is there, waiting for you Thomas. It's in small things. A draught of air. A voice in the street.

[@pmacc3557]

Hope you are still trying to make sense of it!

[@josephharley9448]

I am not trying to be clever Thomas; i am only 53 but im sure that life makes no sense at all. I'm totally sure of that.

[@marymcmullen5150]

I agree with him about the 'I' and the 'We" I found the same In the Netherlands when I moved from Ireland. Seamus you meant so much to us all. Rest.

[@dhss333]

A great sense of loss, grief. What a wholly likeable, modest man. Ireland's greatest poet ever .

[@seamusheaney123]

Give meaning to life is the best foundation for good future. Thanks for wonderful thoughts and working lives dear Seamus Heany. R.I.P.

[@henusode9]

I've been listening to this again and again. Great! And what a great man and poet.

[@DamiensTrainsandTravels]

RIP Seamus I met him once, he came to Northampton Derngate with other poets and even answered two of my questions, great man

[@mdhookey]

A wonderful wordsmith. I'll greatly miss him.

[@kenmcurtin]

Today Ireland lost one of its greatest sons, Seamus Heaney will be hugely missed

[@draganpetrovic1280]

Heaney my literary favorite ♥️🍀👍

[@rcdaniel5]

I feel a deep sadness at his passing. But we have his words.

[@mariajames2966]

Sad, a lovely man.

[@Ryan-fc9lq]

It's striking just how lucid he is, even as an old man, he isn't wishy-washy or pretentious, he's clear in thought and word.

[@scorchedgorse2649]

He was only in his 70s here, hardly old.

[@hillmoon9833]

Great upload!

@Necronpc99 The ability to write well can, of course be a gift- and people like Heaney are usually extraordinarily gifted to begin with, and they apply hard work to an existing proficiency. Whatever self-help book you're using for guidance is lying to you. Heaney notes in a preface to an edition of Wordsworth, how dispute his enduring work ethic his vision receded from him with age- he sadly lost his way, and he never chose to do so, consciousness is Too complex to be guided by a rudder of inten

RIP Seamus Heaney

[@Necronpc99]

@mouthforwar93 writing, or art for that matter, is less than one percent talent as a natural gift. Talent is unending patience in constant failure, talent does not equal ambition.

[@Hank205790]

This day and age he wasn't that old; younger than Jack Nicholson, Michael Caine etc. RIP.

"There’s never going to be a united Ireland, you know. So why don’t you let them fly the flag?” Giving those Neanderthal Unionists a cosy Collective Security blanket ......Way to go Seamus....

[@tommaso7994]

What those Neandethal Unionists don't realise is that they're Irish.

[@tom0bob]

making sense of life...... im confused ?

[@MichaelDevlin-ps9fd]

A giant.

[@BodkaDudkaBhlam]

Some say that poetry, like opera, is a hoax. They don't know the meaning of beauty.
