EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled 'The Twa Dogs,' is a print from a poem penned by the renowned Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1786. The poem, which can be found in Burns' collected works, reflects on the hardships faced by tenants during the laird's court day. The phrase "The Twa Dogs I've noticed on our Lairds court day" is the opening line, setting the stage for Burns' poignant observations. The historical context of this image is significant, as it provides a glimpse into the social and economic realities of rural Scotland during the late 18th century. The laird's court was a gathering where tenants would come to settle disputes, pay rent, and address other matters related to their landlord. The image of two dogs, which appears repeatedly throughout the poem, is a metaphor for the poverty and despair that many tenants faced. Burns' words, "An mony a time my hearts been wae," resonate with the plight of the poor tenants, who were often "scant o cash." The poet's keen observations and empathy towards their struggles are evident in the lines, "Poor tenant bodies, scant o cash," which underscore the harsh realities of their existence. The Twa Dogs print is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Burns' poetry and the social issues it addressed. It serves as a testament to the power of literature to capture the human experience and shed light on the past. This image is not only a valuable addition to any collection of Scottish literature or history, but also a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of Burns' words.
