I walked with my reason out beside the sea. We were together but it was keeping a little distance from me.
Choisich mi cuide ri mo thuigse a-muigh ri taobh a’ chuain; bha sinn còmhla ach bha ise a’ fuireach tiotan bhuam.
From ‘The Choice’/‘An Roghainn’ by Sorley MacLean
Sorley MacLean was born on the 26 October 1911 in Osgaig on Raasay, a small island lying off the east coast of the Isle of Skye.

Ended up at the page of a #Gaelic lady poet whose poem I already know well from a sung #Capercaillie version. So then have to dig that out in iTunes! This in the new collection of Scottish #Poetry 1730-1830. It includes a lot of Gaelic poems (Gaelic first then translated version after) and poems by women. #ScottishPoetry #ScottishLiterature #Gaelic #GaelicPoetry #GaelicSongs #Scotland #EighteenthCentury #18thCentury

Supper and a new #book to read, a new collection of Scottish #poetry 1730-1830. Really looking forward to this. My own #PhD looked at Scottish reading habits in the same period, but I need to read more of the texts being read! #Books #Supper #Literature #ScottishLiterature #ScottishPoetry #Gaelic #GaelicPoetry #EighteenthCentury #18thCentury #ScottishHistory #Reading #ReadingHabits
