“There has been some talk (but not enough) about the political and social consequences of the devolution fiasco three years ago, but none at all about the cultural consequences. At the time my friends were startled and mystified when I told them what a blow the result had been to me, not as a person but as a novelist who thought his mission was to portray the Scottish people. I could not see how any writer could portray with enthusiasm and conviction a nation that had so little faith in itself as to reject a modest degree of self-government or, to put it more accurately, to let itself be cheated by a piece of parliamentary chicanery. In Canada I could hardly get anyone to believe me when I explained the 40% condition.”

“Coincidences undeniably imply meaning.
I am rereading Hart Crane.
I notice the date
On which he stepped off that boat
Was April 26.
Tomorrow is April 26.
The year of his suicide was 1932.
I was four.
I am now fifty-one.
One undeniable implication in this case then
Is that the year, today,
Is 1979.
Afterward, Crane’s mother scrubbed floors.
Eventually, I may or may not
Jump overboard.
Are there questions?”
― Collected Poems
