Synopsis

Excerpt from Selection From the Poetry of Robert Burns: With Notes, Introduction, and Glossary

To amuse himself with the little creations of his own fancy, amid the toil and fatigues of a laborious life; to transcribe the various feelings, the loves, the griefs, the hopes, the fears, in his own breast; to find some kind of counterpoise to the struggles of a world, always an alien scene, a task uncouth to the poetical mind,-these were his motives for courting the muses, and in these he found poetry to be its own reward.
