“When Scotland forgets Burns, then history will forget Scotland”
(J.S. Blackie)
Called the national poet of Scotland, Burns has attained a mythical stature around the world. The “heaven-taught ploughman” who expressed the soul of a nation and sang of universal humanity. We admire his naturalness, his compassion, his humor and the innate freedom. He wrote about beauties of love and friendship, poverty, nature, the importance of freedom to the human spirit and the pleasures of the simple life.
(Stylus)
“Burns alone is enough to make us everlasting friends with Scotland”
(S. Marshak)
