    Thanks for posting those Arlen. I liked them both very much. They are now saved on my computer.

    A slight error Arlen - 1859 was the hundredth anniversary of his birth, not his death.

    I sometimes use this verse from a poem by Henry W. Longfellow about Burns as an opening to our Burns Supper:

    His presence haunts this room to-night,
    A form of mingled mist and light
    From that far coast.
    Welcome beneath this roof of mine!
    Welcome! this vacant chair is thine,
    Dear guest and ghost!


    Cheers,

    Todd

    That is a lovely verse and would be so apposite when seated in Burns' chair in the Globe!

    Yes, indeed! :mrgreen:

    We actually have a "vacant chair" reserved for Rabbie at our Burns Supper, complete wi' a wee dram.
