All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Haggis tonight cooking as I type. No dram with it though as the taste of both spoil the flavours, I never got the idea that whisky goes with food. Good bottle of The Joker instead. Some Burns stuff can be a bit cringey especially around his birthday but the poems and song lyrics he wrote seem to resonate with a lot of people.

Roxy Hearts Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 5 minutes ago, jonesy said: Yep. The guilt by association in relation to historical figures is equally applicable to all of us. Ever taken a flight? You've helped destroy the planet. Ever bought something wrapped in plastic? You've contributed to the pollution of the oceans. Ever eyed up a member of the opposite sex in a bar without asking permission first? You're a rapist. Ever worn a pair of brand name trainers? You've forced south-east Asian children into sweat shops. The current loudest shouters (much like the preachers of Burns' day) are oblivious to their hypocrisy. True Jonesy and I guess some of the negative comments are from those patriotic(not so) against Indy types. We have the greatest poet of all time and will never be surpassed. Why can't we just be Scottish and enjoy our achievements and people. I'm sure everyone has a skeleton in their cupboard or at least a bone.

Roxy Hearts Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 49 minutes ago, jonesy said: Not particularly pro-independence myself (nor would I describe Burns as the greatest poet of all time - surely than can not be such a person!), but definitely anti-hypocrisy, especially from the glowing screen/dull mind brigade! And yes, nothing wrong with celebrating the achievements and work of those like us. Apologies Jonesy for any assumptions but fed up with all and sundry attacking Scotland. I can't think of any other poet who is revered or celebrated all over the world hence my own feelings on Burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Hearts Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 23 minutes ago, jonesy said: No worries, Roxy! And true enough, Burns is celebrated worldwide, but especially English speaking countries and in Russia. His themes are universal. A good equivalent in eastern culture would be Li Bai, the Chinese poet. Well worth reading some of the translations. He, too, was a bit of a rebel, and his work beautiful. I know Russia likes him probably because of his down to earth prose and humble words. Ireland have a cigarette called Sweet Afton. I'm not overly enthused with poetry but see Burns as more than just a poet and I think other people think that too. His words say many things and would appear to resonate with a lot of people.
