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 lady poet whose poem I already know well from a sung version. So then have to dig that out in iTunes! This in the new collection of Scottish 1730-1830. It includes a lot of Gaelic poems (Gaelic first then translated version after) and poems by women.

Supper and a new to read, a new collection of Scottish 1730-1830. Really looking forward to this. My own looked at Scottish reading habits in the same period, but I need to read more of the texts being read!
