The Sayings of Robert Burns (Duckworth Sayings Series)

Robert Burns died when he was only thirty-seven. Nevertheless in his brief life he produced some of the finest and most varied poems ever written. Lord Byron judged that he was a man of 'antithetical mind': the inexhaustible variety of life was reconciled in 'that one compound of inspired clay'. The Sayings in this collection show why Scotland's national poet is also the bard, and benefactor, of humanity.
