Robbie burns auld lang syne7/6/2023 ‘for all that’) laments the fact that equality does not exist among men. And did the final two lines inspire The Proclaimers to write ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)’? One cannot choose but wonder.Ĭertainly, the poem reads like a song: it’s a lyric, through and through, with the abcb rhyme scheme and the tetrameter and trimeter metre recalling the traditional ballads (associated, fittingly enough, with the Scottish Borders).Īlso known by its first line, ‘Is There for Honest Poverty’, ‘A Man’s a Man for A’ That’ (i.e. Bob Dylan called it his single biggest inspiration. Possibly based on a traditional lyric, this poem – also called ‘My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose’ – is one of the most widely anthologised love poems in English. Like John Betjeman’s later poem ‘In Westminster Abbey’, ‘Holy Willie’s Prayer’ uses the idea of a prayer to expose religious hypocrisy and ruthless self-preservation – here, the self-preservation of ‘Holy Willie’, a church elder. This poem shows just what a great satirical poet Burns could be. The one thing we cannot do is take the view of that louse. As Burns concludes, ‘O wad some Power the giftie gie us / To see oursels as ithers see us!’ Such a power or ability would save us a lot of bother and ‘foolish notions’ but we cannot see ourselves as others see us.

Forever rose by hilary mckay7/5/2023 It ends in a burst of Christmas happiness, with one terribly flawed character finding some redemption at last. Rosy Pose is preternaturally perspicacious, saying luminous things about the making of art (Rose is very much an artist), the joys of reading (Rose finally Gets It, via The Once and Future King) and the ways families work (“Mummy lives in the shed, Daddy appears and disappears like the moon.”).

It is left to Rose to worry about the presents, the tree, her evil teacher Mr. Saffy escapes briefly to her friend Sarah’s, whose Goth demeanor shines forth from her wheelchair. Brother Indigo’s friend David moves his entire drum kit into the Cassons’ blissfully chaotic home. The oldest, Caddy, only calls home occasionally, for reasons unknown. The utterly beguiling tale of four children named for paint colors and their artist parents concludes in the most engaging way possible one December-all told in 11-year-old Permanent Rose’s distinctive voice.
