Now we deal with those for whom life is but a carnal tomb, in which the darkness holds no power and neither does the final hour.
poet Seamus Heaney:
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 farther shore
Is reachable from here.
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 farther shore
Is reachable from here.
