Perfection

His reflections run wide, deep, and True.

Listening to his response to Little Things, Old Friends, Places or Nature’s Simple Wonders the Reader knows that he’s hearing the thoughts and feelings that arise from deep inside Heaney’s Mind and Heart. His words resonate with the sound of Truth.
