Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Robert Burns, Peasant, Poet, Patriot: An Oration, Delivered Before the Caledonian and St. Andrew´s Societies of Tacoma, Washington, on the One Hundred and Thirty-Eighth Anniversary of the Poet´s Nativity Mr. Chairman, my Scottish friends, and all who worship at the sacred shrines "Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence: live In pulses stirred to generosity, In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn Of miserable aims that end with self, In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars, And with their mild persistence urge men´s minds To vaster issues," I salute you. We gather here tonight to wreathe, with flowers of thought, of praise, of joy, of truth, of gratitude and love, Tacoma´s cenotaph of Scotia´s patriot, peasant bard, immortal Burns.
