Famous quotes containing the word stevenson:

    And they heaved a mighty breath, every soul on board but me,
    As they saw her nose again pointing handsome out to sea;
    But all that I could think of, in the darkness and the cold,
    Was just that I was leaving home and my folks were growing old.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    Blows the wind to-day, and the sun and the rain are flying,
    Blows the wind on the moors to-day and now,
    Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying,
    My heart remembers how!
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    Away down the river,
    A hundred miles or more,
    Other little children
    Shall bring my boats ashore.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
