The Scots are a hearty people. And inventive. And.....a bit crazy.
lol and from this:
www.geocities.com/williamtopazmcgonagall/quotes.htm
comes this quote, note the author of the quote:
He was a strange, weird, drab figure, and suggested more than anything else a broken down actor. He wore his hair long and sheltered it with a wide rimmed hat. Slow of movement, with a slight stoop, acquired at that hand-loom formerly, but latterly at the desk, when he left off weaving cloth to take up the more congenial task of weaving dreams, leaning as he walked on a stout stick, he moved about the streets, from shop to shop, from office to office, and from house to house in the residential parts of the town, vending his broadsides.
--Lowden McCartney from an introduction to a posthumous edition of McGonagall’s Poetic Gems
Probably no relation.
Conclusions:
Crazy bad poets with Scotch ancestry may or may not be raving geniuses, or suffering the inverse of disorganized schizophrenia..........but they may exist near the line in-between.
And it's A FINE LINE.
