O land of password, handgrip, wink and nod, Of open minds as open as a trap,

Where tongues lie coiled, as under flames lie wicks, Where half of us, as in a wooden horse Were cabin’d and confined like wily Greeks, Besieged within the siege, whispering morse.

Whatever You Say, Say Nothing, Seamus Heaney
