Big Al Whittle	Obit: Poet Seamus Heaney (1939-2013) (27)	RE: Obit: Poet Seamus Heaney (1939-2013)	10 Dec 24
Less than Yeats.... not for me. anyway its not a competition. He wasn't nationalistic, He was profound and saw the violence as a repulsive but organic component in his nation's identity. There was no mysticism and very few arty farty references to the classics. The violence was terrible enough, but when it re-emerged, there wasn't much beauty involved. He was too earthy, too genuinely fond of his fellow men to be lulled into seeing 'a terrible beauty'.
