Keats is better

Yes, but he's not more human. Burns, save perhaps Shakespeare, is the greatest who ever lived at depicting human sympathy, human joy. It's why he's loved the world over.

Pushkin?

It's a shame Burns threads get so few responses. He's no more difficult than Shakespeare

Anyway, I've had a really shitty new year's eve, but I'm glad I found you guys. You're a bunch of shitposting weasels and few of you actually read, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy new year and here's to whatever comes next

I got given his biography for christmas but I've never read any of his poems apart from "to a mouse" and "ye jacobites by name"

Any ideal compendiums of burns poems?
