Read The Cotter's Saturday Night, For a' That and a' That, To a Mouse, Highland Mary, To Mary in Heaven, Farewell to Nancy, I Love My Jean, A Red, Red Rose. The teacher should read to the class parts of Tam o' Shanter. The Globe edition contains the complete poems of Burns with Glossary. Inexpensive editions may be found in Cassell's National Library, Everyman's Library, and Canterbury Poets.
"After luncheon, Roger, permit me to introduce you to some parts of your arithmetic that you have evidently never examined. But go on." "Then I stopped to look in a window and hurried to catch Miss Estelle and ran into a big fat man who was wearing stiff leather gaiters and a tam o' shanter. We came together rather hard," admitted Roger.
Frequently and admirably has Burns given way to these impulses of nature, both with references to himself and in describing the condition of others. Who, but some impenetrable dunce or narrow-minded puritan in works of art, ever read without delight the picture which he has drawn of the convivial exaltation of the rustic adventurer Tam o' Shanter?
Not but that my sisters are very good to me," she continued, as she took the fly that Robert handed her and stuck it in her Tam o' Shanter; "if I happen to have got hold of a fish, I am allowed to come in to dinner anyhow.
The other two, instead of keeping on their course over Standish's head, suddenly swerved round to the left, almost at right angles I think they had seen Miss Buncle's tam o' shanter and simultaneously decided that there are worse things than death and flew straight down the line, followed by an ineffectual volley from the twelve and twenty-eight bores respectively. "Now, Dermott, my boy!"
I saw no weapons, and some rude armlets were their only ornaments." Tam o' Shanter Point derives its title from the barque of that name, in which the members of the Kennedy Exploring Expedition voyaged from Sydney, whence they disembarked on 24th and 25th May 1848. The first camp was formed on some open forest-land behind the beach at a small fresh-water creek.
One of the volumes contains, in Burns' handwriting, "Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thy vows," and a lock of Mary's hair, of a light brown color, given at the time, is preserved in the treasured volumes. A few steps away is Alloway Kirk. The old sexton was standing by the grave of Burns' father, and described to me the route of "Tam o' Shanter."
Carlyle has complained that TAM O' SHANTER is, from the absence of this quality, only a picturesque and external piece of work; and I may add that in the TWA DOGS it is precisely in the infringement of dramatic propriety that a great deal of the humour of the speeches depends for its existence and effect.
It was in Dumfriesshire that he composed the most tenderly and melodiously seraphic of his lyrics "To Mary in Heaven" and "Highland Mary;" the most powerful and popular of his narrative poems "Tam O' Shanter;" the first of all patriotic odes "Bruce's Address to his Army"; and the noblest manifesto of the rights and hopes of manhood "A Man's a Man for a' that."
The reverence for man as man, the sympathy for him in his primary relations and his essential being, of which these comments on Tam o' Shanter form so remarkable an example, is a habit of thought too ingrained in all Wordsworth's works to call for specific illustration.
