Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Harp of the Scottish Covenant: Poems, Songs, and Ballads Relating to the Covenanting Struggle The Solemn League and Covenant Cost Scotland blood - cost Scotland tears: But it seal´d Freedom´s sacred cause - If thou´rt a slave, indulge thy sneers! - Robert Burns. "But I had a feeling of awe when writing ´The City of the Plague,´ ´Unimore,´ and more strongly when inditing a long MS. poem on the Covenanters, which, I believe, has run on to five thousand lines, but which will not see the light till I cease to see it. ´Indeed!´ I said; ´why not sooner?´ ´The fact is,´ he said, ´the feeling that pervades Scotland - its every hill and strath, Highlands as well as Lowlands - about that stalwart and noble race, is itself a perpetual poem, humming through the Scottish land and the Scottish heart; and I should be afraid lest my effort should fall short of the national feeling. I once thought of writing a prose work, too, either in shape of a tale or of an history, on these brave men. Scott has not done them full justice in "Old Mortality," otherwise the masterpiece of his genius."´ - Professor John Wilson - see "The History of a Man," p. 116.
