Сегодня
мы поговорим об известном Шотландском писателе Р. Бернсе, а также поработаем
над грамматическим материалом.
Robert Burns was the greatest poet of the 18th century. He is famous all
over Scotland. One has only to speak to Scotchman to feel the deep love and
admiration for their outstanding countryman.
Burns was born on January 25,
1759 in Scotland. His father, though always extremely poor, attempted to give
his children a fair education, and Robert, who was the eldest, went to school
for three years in a neighboring village, and later, for shorter periods, to
three other schools in the vicinity. By the time that he had reached manhood he
had a good knowledge of English, a reading knowledge of French, and a fairly
wide acquaintance with the masterpieces of English literature from the time of
Shakespeare to his own day. Robert Burns began to write poetry when he was
fifteen. He composed verses to the melodies of old folk-songs, which he had
admired from his early childhood.
Burns published some of his poems in 1786 and their success made him
popular.
He returned to his native village with money enough to buy a farm and
marry Jean Armor, to whom he devoted lots of beautiful poems, such as “I love
my Jean”, “Bonnie Jean” and others. His most popular poems are also “The Tree
of Liberty”, “My Heart’s in the Highlands” and “A Red, Red Rose”.
The poet’s hard work destroyed his health. He died in poverty at the age
of 37 in 1796. Burns was a democratic poet and always sympathetic with the
poor.
