    Pangur Ban - Translation from Irish by Seamus Heaney

    This was a much more enjoyable translation for me to read. Comparing the two translations (Heaney's to Flowers') offers fascinating reflections on style, bias, skill, taste, audience, etc.

    Thanks, Carol!

    Pangur Ban, Introduction & Poem

    This is the sing-song translation attributed to Robin Flowers. All this time I've been naive, Pangur Ban is quite a read.

    Quoted:
    So in peace our tasks we ply,
    Pangur Ban, my cat and I;
    In our arts we find our bliss,
    I have mine, and he has his.
