The vision of Robert Burns as seen in the poet's works, by George Burnett , with T. P. Dawson , James Gibson , Thomas MacMillan , Noel Eadie , Chorus of men, and BBC Scottish Orchestra, conducted by Ian Whyte
Produced by John Gough
The memory of Robert Burns , the national poet of Scotland, has been celebrated in many different ways. It may be appropriate in this year of war to show from his poetry and prose his abhorrence of snobbery, wilful stupidity, and oppression. He foresaw a brotherhood of man that would make this world an earthly paradise when the grosser forces of these faults shall have been purged from human nature. The conditions he imposed have not yet been fulfilled. Nevertheless, the power of his words and the clearness of his vision are as dynamic as when he wrote and looked forward.
