Answer 1

Answer:

Anyone familiar with Lionel Ritchie's 1981 hit 'Endless Love' knows the power of poetry sung about timeless devotion to the one you love. And when it comes to 18th-century Scottish poet Robert Burns, 'A Red, Red Rose' was his 'Endless Love' for a couple of reasons.

For one, Burns actually makes his love timeless by putting a time limit on it, but once you see what that limit is, you'll understand why it's essentially the same as eternity. Secondly, this poetic song itself represents Burns' own endless love for traditional Scottish verse and ensuring its preservation. These elements combine to make 'A Red, Red Rose' one of literature's chart-topping hits.

When people talk about things like 'eternity' or 'forever,' they often don't stop to think how long that really is. For this reason, this sort of timelessness doesn't have any real scope for us. We can't really imagine how long 'forever' is when we ourselves are short-lived creatures 'like a red, red rose / That's newly sprung in June.' How do we discuss long periods of time in a way we can comprehend, then?

Anyone who has studied fossil records or has been to the nearest natural history museum knows just how incredibly long Earth's history is, as well as how long it still has to go should things keep going smoothly. Even though he wrote 'A Red, Red Rose' in 1794, Robert Burns was also aware of the mammoth scope of the geologic timescale. The narrator of his poem claims that 'So deep in luve am I' that his passion will last until the seas dry-up and Earth's crust itself begins to disintegrate' (Or as he put it: 'the rocks melt wi' the sun').
