Seamus Heaney: 1939-2013


I brought up Seamus Heaney's death to someone I know, figuring we'd mutually lament the death of a literary titan.

Except they didn't know who Seamus Heaney was. Never heard of him.

Which just goes to show--Nobel Prizes don't guarantee seats at a busy restaurant these days.





Not for nothing, but didn't Seamus kind of look like Dumbledore? Right? Right??
