“Like Burns, Byron knew how earthy values crossed social strata. But by Byron’s time, polite society was even more thoroughly committed to grinding down public festivities in fairs, sports and open air gatherings. Byron was a shock for polite, well-educated readers. He horrified his public.”

—Prof Alan Riach on Burns, Byron, & overlapping traditions

Address to a Haggis by Robert Burns

Al final de todo esto, un poema que nos habla de la esperanza después de la oscuridad.
Del poeta escocés Robert Burns:
«Si mi hermosa lila mi amor fuera,
abriéndose púrpura en primavera,
y yo, ave que allí se refugia,
cuando cansadas mis alas cayeran.
Como habría de llorar al arrancarla,
el seco otoño y el crudo invierno,
mas batiría feliz mis alas,
al despertar en mayo sus capullos tiernos».
La poesía es mi refugio.

🥃 Burns Night is this Saturday, January 25th!

Robert Burns—Scotland's beloved poet—called Scotch whisky his muse in his poem "Scotch Drink." No Burns Night celebration is complete without honoring this tradition.

* Single malt Scotch (neat or on rocks)
* Rob Roy cocktail (Scotch + sweet vermouth + bitters)
* Hot Toddy (whisky, honey, hot water, lemon—perfect for winter!)
* Whisky Sour or Old Fashioned

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Burns Night approaches (January 25th) — time to talk about neeps and tatties.
The essential side dish for any Burns Supper:

Neeps = swede (or turnip in Scotland), mashed
Tatties = potatoes, mashed

No elaborate techniques required. Just root vegetables, butter, salt, and pepper. Sometimes the simplest traditions are the most enduring.

Are you hosting or attending a Burns Supper this year?

Up in the morning’s no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are cover’d wi’ snaw,
I’m sure it’s winter fairly…

—“Up in the Morning Early”, by Robert Burns – poet of the people 🫡
