Seamus Heaney: Frases en inglés

“Believe in miracles
and cures and healing wells.”

Seamus Heaney The Cure at Troy

"Doubletake", from The Cure at Troy (1990)
Poetry Quotes, The Cure at Troy
Contexto: History says don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.
So hope for a great sea-change
on the far side of revenge.
Believe that a further shore
is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
and cures and healing wells.

“If you have the words, there's always a chance that you'll find the way.”
