Charles Fitzpatrick plucks the day in his caravan, parked in Castle Haven, West Cork

"Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

"Be fair or foul, or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself, upon the past has pow'r,
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.”
Dryden translating Horace
