Excerpt from The Spindle-Side of Scottish Song
But such tongue-tied cadences as these are at the best grotesque and disturbing, and the finest song is that which glides in satisfying smoothness and clarity along the channels of speech.
Scottish song, in spite Of the rugged character Of the Doric, is peculiarly rich in such perfect speci mens; and the effusions Of the songstresses of the nation are bright examples of combined delicacy and strength in the union of imagination and ex pression.
