Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Auld Scotch Mither: And Other Poems, in the Dialect of Burns Perhaps this volume needs a single word of explanation. In addition to his divine faculty of poetic insight and song, it was given to Robert Burns to hear and to speak, in his childhood, the sweetest, simplest, and most pathetic dialect ever used by mortals. This dialect is an element of touching beauty and power in the best of his poems. It is like the dew or song of the lark in the morning; and the use made of it by such writers as George MacDonald, and Dr. Waddell´s recent translation into it of the Psalms, show that it is no dead language. In my father´s library, limited in all directions, but especially in this, - for he was a Congregational minister of small means, - few books were so attractive to my early days as the poems of the Ayrshire ploughman. My father, too, used sometimes to read or recite them with all a Scotchman´s pride. It was one of his too few literary diversions. And when I came to have poetic bantlings of my own, Yankees though they were, was it strange they sometimes took on the garb of tartan? Nor had I the heart to chide them.
