"Digging", has been interrogated: [Seamus] Heaney now says that the source of the reference was phonetic rather than prophetic, but even if it were absent from the text this would still be a poem about his native place and the condition of Ireland. But it is only very barely a political poem in the sense Helen Vendler intended.
