It's time for some quiet dignity.
“He who learns must suffer;
and even in our sleep
pain that cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
and in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
by the awful grace of God.”
― Aeschylus

Thank you Andrew.

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteWhat the earlier commenters have said, in spades. A superb tribute.
My Dad died last year. He inspired me. He formed my politics. He was not an elected official, just a bloke who influenced my views. A good Dad who hoped the best for his kids. He gave me politics not everyone would agree with. So will he get a 10 minute eulogy in Parliament?
