HIS unexpected return to touring has reminded people just how special he is. Wise, world-weary, witty, his undeserved reputation for miserablism obscured a poet haunted by the holiness of love and the obscenity of faith, and a voice which told you that you were listening to a man who'd lived and suffered with the best. Cohen has made few duds and none of them are here. Hallelujah indeed.
