Heaney, Seamus. was the key speaker at the 138th commencement, Emory University, May 2003 at which time he also received an honorary degree. During that speech he mentioned Ted Hughes.

That phrase, "the place of ultimate suffering and decision,"  was first used by the poet Ted Hughes, the late, great poet laureate of England whose papers now enrich the holdings of Woodruff Library. All true and necessary poems arose from that place of suffering and decision, he said, and I believe in the wake of Sept. 11th, we all know what he meant.

Seamus Heaney. 'The Sheldonian Theatre, March 29, 2001.

    "The beauty of the Sheldonian was illuminated last night by the poetry of Seamus Heaney, Tom Paulin and Bernard O'Donoghue. Heaney started proceedings with a reading of one of the final passages from Beowulf, when the King meets the dragon for a final encounter.  He told us that the last time he had been at the Sheldonian was with Ted Hughes in 1995, and his elegy for heroism was melancholy and tender, his reading imbued with sadness for the death of Hughes".

...at the end of October came the sadly premature death of Ted Hughes. Jon Silkin, once mentioned that a very good poem had been submitted to Stand in 1957 just as he was suspending publication for three years so he could take his ... degree. The poem had to be returned to the author. It was called 'The Thought Fox.'

Seamus Heaney at Ted Hughes' funereal, North Tawton, Devon, November 3rd, 1998. 

No death outside my immediate family has left me feeling more bereft. No death in my lifetime has hurt poets more.  He was a tower of tenderness and strength, a great arch under which the least of poetry's children could enter and feel secure. His creative powers were, as Shakespeare said, still crescent. By his death, the veil of poetry is rent and the walls of learning broken.
