A Scots Quair Quotes

“Scots words to tell to your heart how they wrung it and held it, the toil of their days and unendingly their fight. And the next minute that passed from you, you were English, back to the English words so sharp and clean and true - for a while, till they slid so smooth from your throat you knew they could never say anything that was worth the saying at all.”
― Lewis Grassic Gibbon, A Scots Quair: Sunset Song, Cloud Howe, Grey Granite
