But poortith chills before, and a' behind Like clouds appear the thunder wrath has broke; A restless, scattered, soured, half-frenzied mind I'm unco feared would a' tuition mock. Adversity, grim, gruesome, ruthless tutor, Thou hasna spared the rod nor lo'ed the child; Thy ill-timed nature darkened all the future--The passions thou might'st tamed are driven wild. My heart grows dull, and sickens at the thought Of life dragged out 'mong little tyrants, snools; Nor claim frae men o' wrath ae single thought, --I'd rather dwell wi' worms beneath the mools. At kintra fairs I've heard the hucksters cry That he wha never ventured never won; Tho' poor and auld, I'll venture yet and try, --That wight daes weel wha daes the best he can. This plan of life, at nature's ca' designed--Tho' rude the Scotch, you comprehend my aim--Should your approval fix my wandering mind, Be yours the praise; if not, Ise mine the blame. elegy. in imitation op drummond. Poor desolate-hearted lover, why complain, Till echo mourn thro' glen and lonely cave? The sad parental wail, tho' loud, is vain To break the slumbers of the dreary grave--song. 199 The dreary grave where lovely Mary sleeps. Ah me! poor Mary sleeps where none awakes. The thought of her in tears my pillow steeps--The love of life my wearied soul forsakes. She seemed an angel formed in mortal mould, To leave short while the mansions of the blest; But cruel fate, with rancour uncontrolled, Soon rudely rocked her lovely form to rest. But why should I, distracted, raving wild, Lament the happy change to Mary given 1 In this dark world of death, by sin defiled, She could not live, she's gone to dwell in heaven. Methinks I see her bending from the sky, With rays of radiant glory circled round; I hear her soothing.

Download or read book The Hero Building written by Johnny Rodger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why was it that, across Scotland over the last two and a half centuries, architectural monuments were raised to national heroes? Were hero buildings commissioned as manifestations of certain social beliefs, or as a built environmental form of social advocacy? And if so, then how and why were social aims and intentions translated into architectural form, and how effective were they? A tradition of building architectural monuments to commemorate national heroes developed as a distinctive feature of the Scottish built environment. As concrete manifestations of powerful social and political currents of thought and opinion, these hero buildings make important statements about identity, the nation and social history. The book examines this architectural culture by studying a prominent selection of buildings, such as the Burns monuments in Alloway, Edinburgh and Kilmarnock, the Edinburgh Scott Monument, the Glenfinnan Monument and the Wallace Monument in Stirling. They give testimony to how a variety of architectural forms and styles can be adapted through time to bear particular social messages of symbolic weight. This tradition, which literally allows us to dwell on important social issues of the past, has been somewhat neglected in serious architectural history and heritage, and indeed one of the main monuments has already been destroyed. By raising awareness of this rich architectural and social heritage, while analysing and interpreting the buildings in their historical context, this book makes an exciting and original scholarly contribution to the current debates on identity and nationality taking place in Scotland and the wider UK.

Download or read book Rosslyn Chapel Revealed written by Michael T R B Turnbull and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosslyn Chapel Revealed offers the reader an increased understanding and respect for one of Europe's finest pre-Reformation buildings. Rosslyn Chapel, with its fountains in the world of nature, still points bravely to the heavens. That there is mystery of the esoteric Gnositc variety, available only to the initiated few. Instead, it is knowledge, accessible to all, of the dynamic intertwining of the created world with the impulse towards self-fulfilment. Rosslyn Chapel Revealed shows that the chapel is first and foremost a Christian building, constructed in the traditions of the pre-Reformation Church for the celebration in word, gesture and music of the Divine Office and of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus Christ suffered on his cross for the salvation of the human race. The stunning beauty of the chapel, its unexpected delicacy and the uninhibited humour of its stone carvings, which have drawn visitors in such avid numbers from all over the world, are a tribute to the honesty and validity of the religious experience to be found within its ancient walls, in a breathtaking setting of valley and river that is older than time.
