“They once read my letters at a roadblock

And shone their torches on your hieroglyphics,

‘Svelte dictions’ in a very florid hand.”

–Seamus Heaney, “Singing School“

Liked the addition of the person writing her own note on the wall.

  It was a lucky shot–she gives a balance and ballast to how I see the wall.
