| Evidence: | 'I finished reading a "Book of Scottish Verse" yesterday - edited by George Burnett. What a number of minor Scottish poets there are of the latter part of last century and the beginning of this who are remembered in the one or two poems. How circumscribed the themes; how limited the vocabulary; yet within their narrow field they were assured of the usage of their speech' |
