Excerpt from Robert Burns: Two Addresses Delivered at Dumfries and Glasgow on the Centenary of the Poet's Death, 21st July, 1896 Now, ladies and gentlemen, there seem to metobetwogreatnaturalforcesinba-itish literature. I use the safe ad'ective of British, and your applause shows me I was right to do so. I use it partly because hardly any of Burns's poetry is strictly English; because he hated, and was perhaps the first to protest against, the use of the word English as including Scottish. Well, I say, there are in that literature two great forces of which the power seems sheer inspiration and nothing else - I mean Shakespeare and Burns. This 13 not the place or the time to speak of that miracle called Shakespeare, but one must say a word of the miracle called Burns.
