Late November 2019
22nd of November in the year '19. In the bleak winter. A rare day for life in Ireland.
The late afternoon view south from Termon in Carran as "the wind and light are working off each other".
The latter is a line from the poem "Postscript" by Séamus Heaney. The poem was first published in The Irish Times. Heaney described it as "a sidelong glimpse of something flying past". He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995. Heaney passed away on August 30th 2013. He was 74 years of age.
"I Need You at the Dimming of the Day" is a powerful love song written by the great English folk artist Richard Thompson. The song is from the album "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight" released by Richard and Linda Thompson in 1974. The album was critically ignored and commercially unsuccessful. It is now considered to be a masterpiece. Thompson played the Royal Albert Hall in London on the 30th of September this year to celebrate his 70th birthday.
