Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems Songs The poems in this collection were contributed by my uncle, the late Thomas Morrison, Dunfermline, to various periodicals, and, in response to many requests, are now published in one volume. Like his father, the late Bailie Thomas Morrison, of Chartist movement fame, he was a man of great intellectual powers and remarkable ability ; but, being of a very retiring disposition, he was not so widely known. These poems were written in the odd hours of a busy life, and are especially meant for those who knew and admired their author. Though almost entirely self-educated, he was a voracious reader, kindly and cultured, of quick fancy and retentive memory ; and while intensely interested in his native Dunfermline, yet was by no means parochial in his sympathies. Poetry to him was its own reward, the ready outcome of his varying moods, and a rich solace in the dark days when blindness came upon him. The members of his family and those who knew him intimately can still recall with pleasure the many times when he delighted them by reciting some of his best pieces. I need only add that this publication has been a pleasure to me, and, I trust, a lasting memorial to an uncle for whom I had always the greatest affection, and a very due recognition of the rare and natural gifts of its accomplished author.
