1786 Address Auld Burns Maggie Mare Morning Poems Salutation Thee Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Robert Burns' famous poem "The Auld Farmer's New Year's Morning Salutation to His Auld Mare, Maggie," penned in 1786. The photograph, taken from an original print sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a simpler era. The scene unfolds in the early hours of a new year, as an elderly farmer, bundled against the cold, stands beside his horse, Maggie, in a rustic stable. The horse's head is turned towards her master, her ears pricked, as she gazes at him with a look of quiet understanding. The farmer's face is etched with the lines of age and experience, yet his eyes shine with warmth and affection as he delivers his heartfelt greeting. Burns' poem, which begins with the line "Guid New Year I wish thee, Maggie!," celebrates the bond between man and beast, and the enduring loyalty and companionship they share. The poet's words resonate deeply with the image, as the farmer's tender salutation to his faithful mare embodies the spirit of the new year and the hope for continued prosperity and happiness. The photograph, with its rich textures and authentic details, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the timeless connection between humans and animals, and the simple pleasures and joys of rural life. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Burns' poetry and the power of the written word to transport us to another time and place.
