"Robert Burns" is a reference to the Scottish poet, and "coming through the rye" is a line from his poem/song called "Comin' Thro' the Rye." The phrase describes someone walking through a field of rye, possibly symbolizing independence or a youthful spirit.

What does comin' through the rye mean?

Rye is a kind of grass grown for animal consumption. In the days of Burns there were no cars and most journeys were made on foot - or on horseback if you were lucky. When I sing this I am thinking of a young woman who is walking through a field of long grass. An alternative is that the rye refers to a river (the Rye Water) in Scotland. The reason Jenny's petticoats are wet is she was fording the river.


What does J.D. Salinger have in common with The Catcher in the Rye?

I think it may be a metaphor for the complex relationship between Holden and Jane in the novel. The fact that the idea of a highly romanticised Shakespearean love story could be Holden looking back on the memories of the past with rose-tinted glasses, and that he is using it to gloss over the cracks and less desirable parts of the memory, making more of a story than there really is. If you look closely, one can see that the metaphor does fit. However, it could also merely show Holden's interest in English.
