Eclectic Human#AmReading "Journal of a Tour in Scotland in 1819" by English Poet Laureate #RobertSouthey.
In a chatty, opinionated account of his inspection tour of the Highlands with engineer #ThomasTelford, Southey rhapsodizes on Telford’s bridges, roads, harbours, & canals. He also opines on food, books, politics, & the Scottish people, even lamenting the women’s habit of wearing curling papers ("Medusa papers") in their hair.

Yesterday I said I would post the poem for ereyesterday and then I didn't do that.
So, I'll do it now.
The poem for ereyesterday is "God's Judgment on a Wicked Bishop" by Robert Southey.
It is well written.
Be warned, it contains an evil bishop and killer-rats.
