A most beloved Burns, May 1 2005
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Poems and Songs (Paperback)
There are few poets more beloved than Burns. His lyrics and his songs were even in his lifetime celebrated and loved. They reflect his own passionate and perhaps often too loving nature. The story of the country Scots' boy whose writing fame led him to dissipation in Edinburgh is also the story of a great lover( His wife Jean Armour and Mary Campbell were the two most famous)and celebrator of that love.
Many of his lines live in the everyday life and mind of English speakers everywhere. New Years Day is the day of his 'Auld Lang Syne' and most of us have known the wisdom given in his 'To a Mouse'( The best laid schemes o'mice an men, Gang aft agley, An lea'e us nought but grief an pain, For promised joy.)
Poetic anthologies of English verse unfailingly contain samples of his work. Among the most well- known are ( O My Luve is like a red, red rose, that's newly sprung in June: O my luve is like the melodie, That's sweetly played in tune.) and (Flow gently ,sweet Afton.Among thy green braes, Flow gently , I'll ing thee a song in thy praise; ).
The Scots may be difficult at times, but the poems are direct, simple , clear and powerful in feeling.
