Synopsis:
Highland Rambles: A Poem by William Bull Wright. This expansive narrative poem follows four travelers—three students, Arthur, Paul, and Vivian, and their elder guide—as they journey through the Scottish Highlands. Their dialogue on education, ambition, faith, and the meaning of true culture unfolds against alpine ridges, glens, lakes, and farms, where rustic hospitality and hard labor ground their theories in lived experience. In visionary episodes the Master leads them to a 'Happy Isle' of ideal beauty and moral order, where Love, Culture, and the law of the Soul are exalted as guiding powers. Through personae such as Edith, Ethan the smith, and the farmer, the poem interweaves domestic affection with philosophical inquiry. The work culminates in the old master’s death, a benediction to Vivian, and a hopeful testament that artistic insight, tempered by reverence and work, can redeem society and shape a nobler life.
