Life
Seamus Heaney was born in County Derry in Northern Ireland, where his family engaged in farming and selling cattle. His education included studies at Queen's University in Belfast, where he also served as a lecturer at the end of the 1960s. He made his debut as a poet then, but continued to divide his time between his own writing and academia. He worked at Carysfort College in Dublin, at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and at Oxford University. Seamus Heaney was married and had three children.

Work
Seamus Heaney's poetry is often down-to-earth. For him, poetry was like the earth - something that must be plowed and turned. Often he paints the gray and damp Irish landscape; peat moss has a special place in his poetry. The poems often are connected with daily experiences, but they also derive motifs from history, all the way back to prehistoric times. Seamus Heaney's profound interest in the Celtic and the pre-Christian as well as in Catholic literary tradition has found expression in a number of essays and translations.

作品
西默斯-希尼的诗歌往往是脚踏实地的。对他来说，诗歌就像大地一样--是必须被耕种和翻转的东西。他常常描绘灰色和潮湿的爱尔兰风景；泥炭藓在他的诗歌中具有特殊的地位。这些诗往往与日常经验有关，但也从历史中衍生出一些主题，一直到史前时代。西默斯-希尼对凯尔特人和前基督教以及天主教文学传统的浓厚兴趣在一些论文和译文中得到了体现。
