Juxtaposition

Usually, I find juxtapositions in the same stream. Yesterday, I found these ideas separated by source, too.

First, on Twitter, I saw this—

A couple of hours later, I found these words on Tumblr in a tribute to Seamus Heaney by Dan Chiasson—

Heaney’s poems were full of finds, unlikely retrievals from the slime of the ground or the murk of history and memory. His poems about peat bogs and what they preserve are probably the most important English-language poems written in the past fifty years about violence—the ‘intimate, tribal revenge’ that underscores the news.

Reminds me that I've got to capture a stream of Tweets by Brian Phillips in tribute to Heaney.
