With great love about Robert Burns - Universal appeal of his Poetry

This is the best known song in the world about friendship.

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne?

...

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,

And gie's a hand o' thine;

Robert Burns’ poetry conquers time and space.

 It is forever.

          We adore Robert Burns’ poetry in the original and in the translation by S. Marshak.

“S. Marshak made his poetry Russian, not having lost the original charm”

(A. Tvardovsky )

Universal appeal of his Poetry

	Robert Burns lived only in Scotland, yet his poetry and song had universal appeal. Burns was a firm patriot, and his popularity with the Scots is reaffirmed annually in the Burns Night celebrations held worldwide on his birthday, 25th January not only in Scotland but in other countries as well.
