Eavan Boland Quotes
| Poem | Quotes |
|---|---|
| Child of Our Time (3) | this song which takes from your final cry /its tune, your unreasoned end its reason to make our broken images /rebuild themselves around your limbs /your broken image and living, learn, must learn from you, dead |
| The Famine Road (famine part) (4) | idle as trout these Irish, give them no coins at all; their bones / need toil, their characters no less to give them roads, roads to force / from nowhere, going nowhere, of course I saw bones / out of my carriage window |
| The Famine Road (doctor part) (3) | one out of every ten You never will, never you know / but take it well woman, grow / your garden, keep house, good-bye what is your body / now if not a famine road? |
| This Moment (4) | a neighbourhood/at dusk things are getting ready/to happen/out of sight a woman leans down to catch a child/who has run into her arms/this moment stars rise/moths flutter/apples sweeten in the dark |
| Child of our Time themes | death, child loss, war, innocence, responsibility, guilt |
| This Moment themes | suburban life, motherhood, nature |
| Famine Road themes | infertility, the famine, injustice, mistreatment |
