Awards/获奖情况： “Heaney迄今为止最直白和自传体的书。这里是《看到的东西》的超越，是从第六感到天堂的神奇提升，一种充斥着锯齿，轮回和铁门的幻觉……”--Michael Hofmann，《伦敦书评》
“阅读《看到的东西》你能感受到读者所说的，如同济慈的颂歌或弥尔顿1645年的收藏，你一定感受到了——感受一部新的杰作出现并在我们的文学作品中占据永久地位的那种奇特的兴奋之情。”——John Carey，《星期日泰晤士报》（伦敦）
"Heaney’s most plain-spoken and autobiographical book to date. Here is the transcendence of Seeing Things, the simple and miraculous escalation from a sixth sense to a seventh heaven, the lovely delusive optics of sawing and cycling and barred gates. . . ." --Michael Hofmann, The London Review of Books
"[Reading Seeing Things] you feel what readers of say, Keats’s odes or Milton’s 1645 collection must have felt--the peculiar excitement of watching a new masterwork emerge and take its permanent place in our literature." --John Carey, The Sunday Times (London)
