  • Robert Burns and a Red Red Rose Xiaozhen Liu North China Electric Power University (Baoding), Hebei 071000, China
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 311 1st International Symposium on Education, Culture and Social Sciences (ECSS 2019) Robert Burns and A Red Red Rose Xiaozhen Liu North China Electric Power University (Baoding), Hebei 071000, China. [email protected] Abstract. Robert Burns is a well-known Scottish poet and his poem A Red Red Rose prevails all over the world. This essay will first make a brief introduction of Robert Burns and make an analysis of A Red Red Rose in the aspects of language, imagery and rhetoric. Keywords: Robert Burns; A Red Red Rose; language; imagery; rhetoric. 1. Robert Burns’ Life Experience Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) is a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is one of the most famous poets of Scotland and is widely regarded as a Scottish national poet. Being considered as a pioneer of the Romantic Movement, Robert Burns became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism after his death. Most of his world-renowned works are written in a Scots dialect. And in the meantime, he produced a lot of poems in English. He was born in a peasant’s clay-built cottage, south of Ayr, in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland in 1759 His father, William Burnes (1721–1784), is a self-educated tenant farmer from Dunnottar in the Mearns, and his mother, Agnes Broun (1732–1820), is the daughter of a Kirkoswald tenant farmer. Despite the poor soil and a heavy rent, his father still devoted his whole life to plough the land to support the whole family’s livelihood.

  • Jean Armour Oration 2015 What Creates the Character of a Town Such As Ours?
    Jean Armour Oration 2015 What creates the character of a town such as ours? Like other provincial towns, Dumfries has many redeeming man-made features in its fine buildings, bridges and churches. Although important, they would not exist, without the people in whose memory they serve or indeed the blood sweat and tears shed in their construction. Without these influential people our town in consequence would be devoid of character. Can you imagine Dumfries without Burns' Statue or Devorgilla Brig?? When you think of all the famous characters who have left their mark historically in this town, why has Jean Armour (above all others) been captured in Bronze and at great expense, for what on the surface appears to be, merely playing the roll of a dutiful wife??? When Jean Armour was born, second eldest of 11, in Mauchline in 1765, who would have thought this daughter of an Ayrshire stonemason would be so influential in the success and celebrity of one of the greatest poets that ever lived? Apart from the rather fine bronze of Elizabeth Crichton at Easterbrook, the free standing monuments to influential women in Dumfries can be counted on the fingers of one hand. In fact, there is only one other statue of note and thanks to the Burns Howff Club and the generosity of many sponsors, we stand in front of it today. When Jean first met Burns in the Spring of 1785, she was immediately smitten by this handsome farmer /poet. When she chased his dog off her laundry on the drying green and jokingly scolded the poet, there was an instant and mutual attraction.

    The Robert Burns World Federation Newsletter Issue 37 March 2019 This newsletter reports on many Burns Suppers from far and wide reflecting participation by young and old alike.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
