Excerpt from Poems
It was his observation and experience as a shepherd lad on the Ochil Hills that enriched his mind with the choice and beautiful thoughts which later he enshrined in song. The fields, the Woods, the. Streams, and their floral and fauna] inhabitants all appealed to his poetic instinct; and easily and naturally he sung them in responsive verse. This he did with a purity of thought and an unerring choice of words and metres that could hardly be excelled. As one of Scotland's sons he was proficient in her native tongue and loved it with a passionate fondness. He even insisted that it was not, as usually imagined, a dialect, -but a language.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poetry written by George Sinclair, a Scottish immigrant who made his home in Troy, New York in the late 19th century. Sinclair's poetry contains many references to his homeland, and explores themes such as friendship, patriotism, and love of the natural world, all expressed in the Scots language with a strong, lyrical voice that laments the personal and cultural losses of immigration, while yet celebrating the enduring strength of community ties. Sinclair's work is set within the broader context of Scottish literature, particularly the works of Robert Burns, which Sinclair greatly admired, with his poems exhibiting the same rhythmic and metrical complexity. Sinclair's work provides a unique insight into the immigrant experience of the time and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332817528_0
