The poem says it is for “Michael Lonlgey”. I assume this is one of a group that Heaney wrote with and exchanged poems with. The first stanza conveys his compulsion to play around wells. He liked the mechanism and the sound it made. There’s alliteration of “dark drop”echoing the bucket hitting the water. There’s an image of “the trapped sky” as the reflection of the sky at the other end of the tunnel into the earth – to see the sky‚ he looks down‚ not up. When things are down‚ they can be pinned

The composers of these texts convey to the audience that moving “into the world” can encompass many benefits. In “Billy Elliot” many barriers prevent Billy from entering the

When one refers to Romeo and Juliet‚ they usually are referring to the romance aspect. They think of the tragic love story that Shakespeare develops. Despite the familiar connotation‚ if one meticulously analyzes the novel they will draw on the fact that Shakespeare doesn’t develop a love story at all‚ but one of infatuation.
