The first poem was read by Robert Frost at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. His poem was hand-written and the glare of the sun on snow was so bright that he could not read his original poem for the occasion, so he recited a different poem from memory.
Robert Frost read a poem at Kennedy's inauguration. He was quite old and feeble and the sun was in his eyes so he had difficulty getting his poem read.
Robert Burns spent a total of about 18 months in Edinburgh from 1786 to 1788.
The poem was "The Gift Outright". He started to read a new poem that he had written special for the inauguration, but the sun was in his eyes and he could not see the paper, so he recited from memory a poem he had written some years before.
The title is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse", which read: "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley." (The best laid schemes of mice and men / Often go awry.)
A "Burns Supper" or "Burns Night" is a Scottish event celebrating the life and works of Scottish poet Robert Burns. They are usually held on Burns' birthday, January 25th. All Burns Suppers involve a dinner of haggis (a sausage made of sheep's offal), Scotch whiskey, and the reading of Burns' poetry; more formal Suppers tend to follow a traditional order of events (see related links).
