Such a powerful metaphor for life and death. Youthful naivety and exuberance inevitably turning into resignation and decay.

Yeah about girls going through puberty and breasts growing. And the guys hitting puberty and wanting girls. And then the childhood innocence always disappearing once youth grows to adolescent years. We all want the youth joy and innocence to last and it never does.

It's the way he reads this, with that beautiful lilt in his voice and the passion for his childhood and blackberry picking. I could listen to this over and over again, soothing, beautiful. I can almost taste that first blackberry.

Oh How I would love to talk to this man. The sound of his voice sounds like Sligo. When visiting my Grandmothers house in Mulaghmore and cousins" The Feeney's" I walked a lane with rock walls and tons of beautiful blackberries. Their Grand Mother is buried next to Wm.Butler Yeats in Drumcliff. Alas, at 80 years old no more travel. What a great Poet. yvonne

Derry born (county not the city), and not far from where Heaney was raised. I HATE his slurred QUB/Harvard accent. But I love his poetry. His metre is bang on, and he transports me to magical places.
