It is far otherwise with the poems and songs in the dialect of his own country, for be the subject ever so trivial, it is touched with promethean fire and becomes immortal. The poetry which we find most satisfying is that which contains the fullest reaction to life, and Burns found inspiration in his own environment. The poet’s response to beauty is readier and more intense than that of less gifted humanity, and in the heritage which he has left us we are able to share vicariously in his heightened awareness and become more fully alive.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55916119654779,"sku":"10659505","price":14.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_491953_jpg.jpg?v=1763051160","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/songs-from-robert-burns-collins-1970","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
