Explore "More Misrepresentative Men" by Harry Graham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The jingling rhymes of Dr. Watts / Excite the reader's just impatience, / He wearies of Sir Walter Scott's / Melodious verbal collocations, / And with advancing years he learns / To love the simpler style of Burns.
Too much the careworn critic knows / Of that obscure robustious diction, / Which like a form of fungus grows / Amid the Kailyard school of fiction; / In Crockett's cryptic caves one sighs / For Burns's clear and spacious skies.
