“The richness of Donnchadh Bàn’s language becomes a metaphor for the richness of nature... The poem is a song & the music itself becomes a metaphor for the co-existence of different forms of life”

—Meg Bateman on “Moladh Beinn Dòbhrain” for Irish Pages

BARWildlife 📍BAWÜFeb 6
Ein Uhu ruht reglos wie ein Wächter der Dämmerung. Sein mächtiger Körper scheint aus Erde, Rinde und Schatten gewebt, das Gefieder ein stilles Echo des Waldes. Aus dem runden Gesicht leuchten bernsteinfarbene Augen – wach, wissend, zeitlos. In ihnen liegt die Ruhe der Nacht und die Erinnerung an uralte Pfade. Lautlos thront er über dem Stein, ein König zwischen Tag und Dunkelheit.

A Eurasian eagle-owl rests motionless, a sentinel of twilight. Its powerful form seems woven from earth, bark, and shadow, its plumage an echo of the forest itself. Amber eyes glow from its rounded face—alert, knowing, timeless. Within them lies the calm of night and the memory of ancient paths. Silent and regal, it reigns above the stone, a monarch between day and darkness.

The grey roots circle thee, who never knew
At any hour within thy travels lone
A human shape but mine…

“MacBeth out-Hughes’ Hughes here. A masterpiece of control, ‘Owl’ is stitched with the kinds of metaphor that capture the brutality of evolutionary purpose in simple, uncompromising phrases”

—Steve Whitaker on George MacBeth’s poem “Owl”

George MacBeth (1932–1992) was born #OTD, 19 Jan

“MacBeth’s language is beautifully melodic: the stanzas unfold like operatic arias, becoming more florid & complex in thought as the poem develops…”

—Carol Rumens on MacBeth’s “The God of Love”

At the raw end of winter
the mountain is half snow, half
dun grass. Only when snow
moves does it become a hare…

🌙🦉
Aus der Stille der Dämmerung erhebt sich ein Blick,
alt wie der Wald, scharf wie die Nacht.
Feder für Feder gezeichnete Weisheit,
ein Auge, das sieht, was verborgen bleibt.
Die Nacht hört zu.

🌙🦉
From the hush of twilight, a gaze emerges,
ancient as the forest, sharp as the night.
Wisdom written in feathers,
an eye that sees what remains unseen.
The darkness listens.
