Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Robert Burns, Colonel Westnedge, and Waifage Mr. Toastmaster; - Ladies and Gentlemen; - I have received a very kind invitation to come to this banquet to-night: - It was to talk to the emigrant exiles of Scotland about Robert Burns. So much has been said of him in the last hundred years that Scotchmen as well as others have the Burns habit. People and critics say over and over: - what a poet Burns was, and what a pity he had so many faults as a man. Now it is a universal custom for people when they meet their friends in good weather, to tell them what a pleasant day it is - only it looks like rain after a little. This is because such a day is one of nature´s richest gifts: - common as it is we cannot help talking about it. But suppose we had lived in some icy region of the pole, and had never seen a spring morning: - then a shipload of us were suddenly landed in one of earth´s fertile valleys. We should walk in green meadows - or through the blooming heather. For the first time we should see the sunny mist drift from the dew, and the dawn turning Westward over forest lake and river. We should listen to the skylark´s song: - see buds and flowers and bloomage of orchards. We should breathe the balsam of the spring.
