At first, Seamus Heaney’s 'Blackberry Picking' seems to describe a straightforward childhood experience, but upon closer examination it conveys a deeper understanding and message: about how people long for something they once had; people seek to keep their innocence or childhood, but this battle against nature is one that is inevitably lost.
