Our shells clacked on the plates.
My tongue was a filling estuary,
My palate hung with starlight:
As I tasted the salty Pleiades
Orion dipped his foot into the water.
(From “Oysters” by Seamus Heaney)
A plate of oysters. My starter during a meal at Donnelly's of Barna with my friend V, who first introduced me to Ireland and Ireland to me. Delicious!

Yummm!! Good choice.
I was a long time in getting to like oysters. Not so long in getting to like Seamus Heaney. Now both are part of my balanced diet.
