Poems > Derek Mahon > Roger McGough DEREK MAHON A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford Let them not forget us, the weak souls among the asphodels 'Mythistorema' For J.G. Farrell Peruvian mines, worked out and abandoned To a slow clock of condensation, An echo trapped forever, and a flutter Of wildflowers in the lift-shaft, Indian compounds where the wind dances And a door bangs with diminished confidence, Lime crevices behind rippling rainbarrels, Dog corners for bone burials; And a disused shed in Co. Wexford, Deep in the grounds of a burnt-out hotel, Among the bathtubs and the washbasins A thousand mushrooms crowd to a keyhole. This is the one star in their firmament Or frames a star within a star. What should they do there but desire? So many days beyond the rhododendrons With the world waltzing in its bowl of cloud, They have learnt patience and silence Listening to the rooks querulous in the high wood. They have been waiting for us in a foetor Of vegetable sweat since civil war days, Since the gravel-crunching, interminable departure of the expropriated mycologist.

Poem from The Hunt by Night (1995) by Derek Mahon The Hunt by Night – Uccello, 1465 Flickering shades, Stick figures, lithe game, Swift flights of bison in a cave Where man the maker killed to live; But neolithic bush became The midnight woods Of nursery walls, The ancient fears mutated To play, horses to rocking-horses Tamed and frames to courtly uses, Crazed no more by foetid Bestial howls But rampant to The pageantry they share And echoes of the hunting horn At once peremptory and forlorn. The mild herbaceous air Is lemon-blue, The glade aglow With pleasant mysteries, Diuretic depots, pungent prey; And midnight hints at break of day Where, among sombre trees, The slim dogs go Wild with suspense Leaping to left and right, Their cries receding to a point Masked by obscurities of paint – As if our hunt by night

Painting into Poetry: The Case of D er ek Mahon Rajeev S. Patke National Univ er sity of Singapore “With respect to Daumi er : you are quite right in suggesting that he paints his own mirror image when he paints Quixote.” (Benjamin to Adorno , 23 February 1939) Art that depends on anoth er art begs the question of why th er e is more ent er prise in being d er ivative. This essay describes the relation between poetry and painting in t er ms of an artist’s need for imaginative space as the productive outcome of a tension between temp er ament and circumstance, treating D er ek Mahon’s poems on paintings as a specific instance of a gen er al type of lit er ary allusion in which “ firstness ” is made to give ov er to “ secondariness I will argue that belatedness–as of the forg er selling fake V er me er s to Go er ing in Mahon ’s poem of that name–brings forth “a light to transform the world” through the melancholic knowledge it elicits from the blind sightedness of “the first”.
