    Replying to @Deb_Ban's comments in the Tollygunge Agragami thread on digging.

    I recently taught the poem "Digging" by the famous Irish poet, Seamus Heaney, to my students.
    Here it is:

     Digging 

    Between my finger and my thumb   
    The squat pen rests; snug as a gun. 

    Under my window, a clean rasping sound   
    When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:   
    My father, digging. I look down 

    Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds   
    Bends low, comes up twenty years away   
    Stooping in rhythm through potato drills   
    Where he was digging. 

    The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft   
    Against the inside knee was levered firmly. 
    He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep 
    To scatter new potatoes that we picked, 
    Loving their cool hardness in our hands. 

    By God, the old man could handle a spade.   
    Just like his old man. 

    My grandfather cut more turf in a day 
    Than any other man on Toner’s bog. 
    Once I carried him milk in a bottle 
    Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up 
    To drink it, then fell to right away 
    Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods 
    Over his shoulder, going down and down 
    For the good turf. Digging. 

    The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap 
    Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge 
    Through living roots awaken in my head. 
    But I’ve no spade to follow men like them. 

    Between my finger and my thumb 
    The squat pen rests. 
    I’ll dig with it.

    Quite a different sort of digging, isn't it?
