Extractions: SIR WALTER SCOTT The Maid Of Neidpath O lovers' eyes are sharp to see, And lovers' ears in hearing; And love in life's extremity Can lend an hour of cheering. Disease had been in Mary's bower, And slow decay from mourning, Though now she sits on Neidpath's tower To watch her love's returning. All sunk and dim her eyes so bright, Her form decay'd by pining, Till through her wasted hand, at night, You saw the taper shining; By fits, a sultry hectic hue Across her cheek was flying, By fits, so ashy pale she grew, Her maidens thought her dying. Yet keenest powers to see and hear Seem'd in her frame residing; Before the watch-dog prick'd his ear, She heard her lover's riding; Ere scarce a distant form was kenn'd, She knew, and waved to greet him; And o'er the battlement did bend, As on the wing to meet him. He camehe passedan heedless gaze, As o'er some stranger glancing; Her welcome, spoke in faltering phrase, Lost in his courser's prancing The castle arch, whose hollow tone Returns each whisper spoken, Could scarcely catch the feeble moan Which told her heart was broken.

In the previous year he had published his long poem, Lay of the Last Minstrel . The novel Waverley was published anonymously in 1814, and his prose output thereafter was prodigious - something like 23 books in 12 years. Scott's novels were immensely popular, not only in this country. He was deeply patriotic, and his writing is credited with having rekindled the embers of Scottish national sentiment. His Edinburgh home during this period was at no. 39 North Castle Street. In 1826 the business failure of Scott's publisher, John Ballantyne (with whom Scott was in partnership) precipitated the great crisis in the author's life. Characteristically he vowed to repay the creditors by means of his writing. Scott became a literary workaholic. In heroically tackling what seemed an impossible task, Scott undermined his health, and seven years later he died at his beloved Abbotsford, in the Borders

At the age of 18 months his right leg was rendered permanently lame by polio, and as an infant he was sent to his grandfather's farm in the Borders. He would divide his time between Edinburgh and the Borders for the rest of his life. In 1775 the family moved to a more spacious house at 25 George Square, where Scott was to live until 1797.

He was indentured in his father's legal practice on 31 March 1786, but did not qualify as an advocate until 11 July 1792. Scott was to continue in his legal career until retiring in 1830.

He was also interested in German literature, and his first publications were translations of ballads by Gottfried Augustus Burger (1796), and of Goethe's "Gotz von Berlichingen" (1799).
