EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Toast to Brotherly Bonding: Robert Burns' Second Epistle to Davie, a Brother Poet" This evocative image captures the essence of camaraderie and the shared love for poetry and music, as embodied in Robert Burns' "Second Epistle to Davie," a heartfelt ode to his fellow poet, friend, and brother, James Davie. The year is 1785, and Burns, the national poet of Scotland, is seen in this print, raising a glass in a toast to Davie, with a warm and affectionate smile on his face. The title of the poem, "Hale be your heart, hale be your fiddle; Lang may your elbow jink an diddle," is inscribed below the image, a wish for Davie's good health, happiness, and the continued creation of poetry and music. Burns and Davie were part of a vibrant literary and artistic community in Scotland, and their friendship was a source of inspiration for each other's work. This print, with its depiction of the two poets in a moment of conviviality, serves as a testament to their enduring bond and the importance of brotherhood in the creative process. The image also highlights the significance of the fiddle, an essential instrument in traditional Scottish music, which further underscores the connection between poetry, music, and the Scottish cultural heritage. The Second Epistle to Davie is just one of the many heartfelt and moving poems in Burns' extensive body of work, which continues to captivate readers and inspire generations. This print, with its historical and poetic significance, is a must-have for any collection dedicated to the life and works of Robert Burns or the rich literary and artistic history of Scotland.
