It is the well known fact that Seamus Heaney often refers to the works of the British Romantic Poets, especially those of William Wordsworth. Following is a trial piece for comparing the two poets. A key-word is "Epitaph". According to Wordswor'th's essays upon epitaphs, it is clear that he finds the gate to the other world there. Epitaph is like Janus seeing the two worlds at once. Wordsworth wrote many Pastorals and they are always referring not only to rural peace but to the desperate world within the poet himself. Pastoral is, to Wordsworth, a nostalgia to the good old days and lamentation to the corruption of it as well. In this way, pastoral is like an epitaph to him. Seemingly peaceful world of the Pastoral is a "mundus inversus" as an epitaph is. Seamus Heaney wrote a group of "Bog poems" to reproduce the miserable states of the "North" after which he turned into more immediate and familiar world, as if he would seek some salvatron there. The immediate world seems to be peaceful against the "Bog poems" which are full of destructive elements of the day. Nevertheless he seems not to find it genuinely peaceful. Then what is the immediate world to him? It may be possible to say the immediate and familiar world working as a kind of epitaph to him. Besides, he often refers to the classical world, the Bible, Greek and Roman myths and legends, and Greek epics and tragedies, which have ever been prevailing almost all through his books of poems. What are they to him? Now is the time when classical tragedy or epic can not be formed or created. Why he is so enthusiastically sticking to the classical world all through his life until now is a second question. A tentative conclusion is that both the immediate world and the classical world would not give him a place to be rest himself there, and that both are working as an epitaph to him. The case is the same to Wordsworth. Heaney and Wordsworth are to be called both the poets of epitaph.
