My whole life I’ve listened to fellow (usually auld) men murder this piece with bluster and bravado and all kinds of over-pronouncement…bless you for re-warming my heart with your natural artistry.
Thank ye, Ms Traynor. I heard the poem as if for the first time. Andrew O'Hagan said Burns created a space where man and mouse could share unknowable fate. * A Night Out With Robert Burns * arranged and introduced by Andrew O'Hagan.
Well done! This was a lovely reading. Thank you for posting it. It is a gift of wonderful memories, for me. Happy Christmas! Perhaps you'll take a cup of kindness, for the sake of auld lang syne.
