Adriano Irala belonged to the romantic liberal generation, which according to the vision of Republican politician and writer Natalicio Gonzalez, Paraguay
broke into the post-war "as an intellectual tragedy."
This author discovered that the contrast that arbitrarily comes from the individualistic liberalism of Irala with the love of their homeland: "Born in a mountain village, he encouraged the commitment to his people and solidarity with their land." Natalicio finds an ambivalent position that attaches "a confrontation of their culture of romantic roots with racial trends of his creating impulse of classic essence, which transcends poetry, and invades the political phenomenon." Insists that the romantic literatures pretends to take refuge in the individual, are malnourished, lost contact with the dark human flows that feed the big poems, cuts the creative activity of poetry that reflects a role.
"Crusade for the good life as a pilgrim
With a soul Aromas of sadness and love
A distant star shows me around on the road
And my nights poured into his pale radiance.
I spent my dreams as high chimera
Through life, through the pain
Boost my craft a wind of chimera
In a charming island will be the conqueror.
And live "my life, go" my way”
And when fatigued, to its shore I lay,
To sleep the dream that has nothing to disturb.
Flower in my lips a tender smile
And feel the kiss on the forehead of a breeze
From the summit I could not reach distant.
Justo Pastor Benitez asserts that the history of the Paraguayan culture could not deny a post to those who spread doctrine, preached ideals, defended the cause of freedom, helped to raise their civilization, the laborers of intelligence. To revive the collective sense, restore the values of the past needed the poet, artist, emotional announcer.

Works
Some of the beautiful verses of young Adriano Irala, steeped in melancholy and romance:"Crusade for the good life as a pilgrim
With a soul Aromas of sadness and love
