I didn't know he was Irish. I remember a part of this poem by heart. "An utterly lost and daft system that gives a few at fancy prices their fancy lives, while ninety nine in a hundred must wash the grease of ages from the knives." Well, Louis, remember the sunlight on the garden.
thanks for sharing this! A wonderful resource for those who revere MacNeice!

A jumble of opposites. As fine a description of his poetry as any.
