They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.

I had the privilege of having Adrian as a tutor and lecturer during my Masters in International Relations at UCC. He was a fountain of knowledge and I'll never forget his stories and insights in helping me with an assignment I was doing on the Six-Day War. He really enhanced my understanding of the diplomatic and non-diplomatic worlds of politics. Always a gentleman and always had time for a good chat. RIP

There is a sweetness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.”
Washington Irving (1783-1859).
