A quote for January 25.

Oh well, here's another for his birthday:

[i]Then gently scan your brother man,
Still gentler sister woman;
Tho' they may gang a kennin wrang,[/i] (go a bit wrong)
[i]To step aside is human:
One point must still be greatly dark,
The moving Why they do it;
And just as lamely can ye mark,
How far perhaps they rue it. [/i]
