As my friends and family know my attachment to the poetry of Seamus Heaney is long and strong. (I even named our dog after him.)
Joe Biden's closing tonight brought a tear to my eye.
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.
- Seamus Heaney
from The Cure at Troy
