I hate midsummer in the north. There’s no night to speak of, just day in and day in with maybe a slight hesitancy about two o’clock in the morning… —Alasdair Maclean, “I Hate Midsummer in the North” in From the Wilderness (Gollancz, 1973) #poetry

I Hate Midsummer in the North
by Alasdair Maclean

I hate midsummer in the north.
There’s no night to speak of,
just day in and day in
with maybe a slight hesitancy
about two o’clock in the morning.

The sun’s at work continually,
zooming in from some part of the sky,
at some angle or another. In time
it penetrates the thickest skull. In time
it levels up the most forbidding brow.

Light pours down. It makes thing clear.
I see there’s only one world
after all, and it’s a hot one
and a bright one. My hayfield
curls up at the corners. My lips, too.

While the days swagger, elbow one another,
I wait, with what sadness I can muster.
This white weather doesn’t suit me,
I think. I get fatter all the time.
For weeks I live off my stored darkness.

…Teacher, scholar, he had worked a true task when all alive… —Iain Crichton Smith, “For Angus MacLeod” Published in New Collected Poems, @carcanet.bsky.social 2011 Iain Crichton Smith, himself a teacher, commemorates the life of a former Headmaster of Oban High School Today is #ThankATeacherDay

Iain Crichton Smith

For Angus MacLeod
Headmaster, and Editor of Gaelic Poems

Today they laid him in the earth's cold colour,
a man from Lewis with his seventy-five
years struck from his head. Teacher, scholar,
he had worked a true task when all alive,

building a school, elucidating texts.
The Gaelic shone quite clearly in his bones.
A casket filled with ashes had been mixed
with filtered sunlight and the small stones.

A useful life with pupils and with poems:
sufficient honours (his humour asked no more)
he takes his place in many minds and rooms.
Without their knowing it, his patient care

instructs far hands to turn a new lever,
a voice to speak in a mild-mannered tone.
The deeds we do reverberate forever.
Inveterate justice weighs the flesh and bone.

His best editions are some men and women
who scrutinise each action like a word.
The truest work is learning to be human
definitive texts the poorest can afford.

The telephone was a miracle technology, fundamentally transforming space & time, enabling new human capacities (Generals' commands immediately followed in battle, reporting appearing in newspapers minutes later, etc.). Then it led to prank calls, telemarketing, and now nobody picks up their phone.
