True, true... untramelled by the bounds imposed upon his unparalleled genius by the artificial restraints of mediocrity, such as rhyme, meter, scansion, common-sense and taste, this man... nay, this marvel, this gem of the written word, rose up from the obscurity of the gutter and left his unique mark upon the literature of Scotland, and the world, for all eternity. Never shall we see his like again.
