On the one hand, he was noble, statesmanlike, slightly formidable: That monumental head could happily have taken its place among the classical emperors t

37、hat ring the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford. On the other, with his shambling gait(蹒跚步态 ), unruly hair and bred-in-the-bone jocundity(欢乐 ), he remained always the farmers son from Co. Derry. I met him first nearly 20 years ago, when I interviewed him for Harpers & Queen on the publication of “Seeing T

38、hings“. He spoke about the duty he felt to respond to letters from admirers, and of how this maddened his wife “Marie always says, For Gods sake!, but the relationship between ones ethical commands and ones whole reality is very complex.“ He reflected on the need sometimes for a poet to be political

39、, and stern: “Sometimes its immoral not to put the boot in and cause a bit of bother: sometimes acquiescence(默认 )is a failure.“ He mused on his Catholic upbringing which though he was no longer a churchgoer had left him feeling he had “a right to joy“. Ahead of the interview, Id been terrified of ge

40、tting out of my depth, so as well as buying all Heaneys poetry: Id bought a volume of A-level notes on his work. When wed finished speaking, he offered to sign the books and, to my horror, at the bottom of the tower, he discovered my notes. He roared with laughter. I laughed too. We parted on the me

Embarking on Browns biography, I wrote to Heaney to ask whether he might share his memories and thoughts. He responded with a fax I will treasure forever: fou

43、r pages of precise, perfectly turned reflections that I stitched through my book like golden thread. Then, last September, Heaney gave a reading in Stirling. He allowed me to interview him for “Seven Wonders“, speaking in rich, graceful sentences that made their way unedited from the recorder to the

44、 page. At a dinner in his honour, he told us how thrilled hed been by the neighbouring farmer who dropped in to see him after he returned from receiving the Nobel Prize. “Ah, Seamus,“ the farmer said. “Welcome home. And congratulations on the winnings!“ At the reading itself, he seemed frail, but ra

45、diant. He spoke of his desire “to rise up and make poetry move to make art and humanity worth something“. Then there were questions. A Stirling student, as awkward and shy as my 20-something self, asked whether Heaney had anything interesting left to say, now that he was so old. Unabashed, and twink

46、ling with amusement, Heaney referred him to his early poem “Digging“. “I might not have too much more digging ahead,“ he admitted, “but I hope theres a good bit of hoeing“. If only there had been more. 52 Which of the following can NOT be learned from the first paragraph? （ A） It is a memorable expe

47、rience being with Seamus Heaney. （ B） Most poets are complex creatures with double personalities. （ C） Images of both an emperor and a farmer can be seen in Seamus Heaney. （ D） Seamus Heaney is an old man with optimistic spirit about life. 53 The interview on the publication of “Seeing Things“ showe
