A Night Out with Robert Burns
- The Scottish poet Robert Burns has been idolised and eulogised
- He has been sainted
- Painted
- Tarted-up and toasted
- He is famous as the author of 'Auld Lang Syne'
- And he has long been the patron saint of the heartsore and the hungover
- But what about the poems
- Beneath the cult of Burns Nights and patriotic yawps
- There is the work itself
- Among the purest and most truthful created in any age
