Anything Can Happen [Ireland]:
Anything Can Happen, the publication of Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney's essay and translation of Horace's Odes 1:34 will be launched at a special ceremony and book signing at NUI Galway on the 17th of November. The book, a collection of 23 additional translations of the poem paired into 'languages of conflict' will benefit Amnesty International and the University will webcast the event.
In his essay Seamus Heaney recognizes the relevance of Horace’s Ode to the contemporary geo-political situation. The title itself, Anything can happen, is a modern take on the Latin words 'valet...deus' in the original version of the poem. Recent history has unfortunately demonstrated the discomfiting truth of the expression.
