to assemble for Normandy, [Seamus] Heaney's anonymous narrator recalls a morning of pig slaughter, "sunlight and gutter-blood/Outside the slaughterhouse."
No one knew where they were headed, "like youngsters/As they tossed us gum and tubes of coloured sweets."
from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: 'District and Circle' by Seamus Heaney
