Thank you for all that you’ve shared, Riobard. The recent poems were beautiful. ‘The Exile’ and ‘Sweet Adrigole’ wereespecially touching and as a parent, quite sad. There must have been incredible sadness for the parents as theirchildren left Irelandand sailed for foreign shores, never to be embraced by them again. I’m not convinced that we’re made of the ‘samestuff’ that our ancestors were. And I’ve often wondered, how many left and then returned to Ireland whenthey could no longer endure the separation from parents and homeland. Probably not as many who would have made thetrip if they’d had the funds. Thanks again.
