Seamus Heaney Quote

Human beings suffer.They torture one anotherThey get hurt and they get hard.No poem or play or songCan fully right a wrongInflicted and endured.History says, Don't hopeOn this side of the grave,But then, once in a lifetimeThe longed-for tidal waveOf justice can rise upAnd hope and history rhyme.So hope for a great sea-changeOn the far side of revenge.Believe that a farther shoreIs reachable from here.Believe in miraclesAnd cures and healing wells.Call miracle self-healing,The utter self-revealingDouble-take of feeling.If there's fire on the mountainAnd lightening and stormAnd a god speaks from the skyThat means someone is hearingThe outcry and the birth-cryOf new life at its term.It means once in a lifetime
