They’ve taken the skeleton
Of the Great Irish Elk
Out of the peat, set it up,
An astounding crate full of air.

"Later, I reach a room, where the moon stares
Through a cobwebbed window. The tide has ebbed,
Boats are careened in the harbour. Here is a bed."
- 'Sailing to an Island'
Rest in peace, Richard Murphy.
A visit to @FaberBooks today - and spied Craig Raine, Ted Hughes and SH nestling amid some shelves
