For the day that's in it.

Picture of text which reads thus:
Patrick Kavanagh, In Memory of my Mother.
I do not think of you lying in the wet clay
Of a Monaghan graveyard; I see
You walking down a lane among the poplars
On your way to the station, or happily

Going to second Mass on a summer Sunday -
You meet me and you say:
'Don't forget to see about the cattle - '
Among your earthiest words the angels stray.

And I think of you walking along a headland
Of green oats in June,
So full of repose, so rich with life -
And I see us meeting at the end of a town

On a fair day by accident, after
The bargains are all made and we can walk
Together through the shops and stalls and markets
Free in the oriental streets of thought.

O you are not lying in the wet clay,
For it is a harvest evening now and we
Are piling up the ricks against the moonlight
And you smile up at us - eternally.

The Dubliners - On Raglan Road

‘I gave her gifts of the mind
I gave her the secret sign
That's known to the artists who have known
The true gods of sound and stone’

(‘In Bruges’ Soundtrack)

Movie Poster for the film, ‘In Bruges’, a 2008 black comedy-drama crime thriller film written and directed by Martin McDonagh in his feature-length debut.

This poster shows the stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, two London-based Irish hitmen hiding in Bruges, along with Ralph Fiennes, their boss. The film is set and was filmed in the medieval town of Bruges, in Belgium, as is shown in the background of this poster, complete with white swan.
