Half way through this memoir and it has cracked me open. Beautifully written. All Down Darkness Wide by Seán Hewitt Saul Klein
Sometimes a lantern moves along the night,
That interests our eyes. And who goes there?
I think; where from and bound, I wonder, where,
With, all down darkness wide, his wading light?
Hopkins after the longest night, with thanks to Seán Hewitt whose memoir kept me company
‘sweetness on the tongue, / a gin of feral blood’
Three poems by Seán Hewitt, ‘Haw’, ‘Interlude’ and ‘Dispersion Song’.

“There was a time when / I preferred the blackbird and the boom / of a stag belling in a storm.”
