Résumé : | This article solely focuses on Seamus Heaney's ‘Route 110’ sequence from his final collection of poetry, "Human Chain". The sequence is broadly founded in memory and sees the poet revisit a series of significant instances from his life. It can be argued that this poem is an elegy, not only in the sense of mourning someone else, but also an elegy for the self and for the past. ‘Route 110’ sees the poet reflect on life from the perspective that comes with experience. Notions of birth and rebirth, allusions to classical myth, and lamentation feature prominently throughout the course of the sequence. |
