Famous quotes containing the words stevenson and/or hall:

    Once you are married, there is nothing for you, not even suicide, but to be good.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
    roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
    yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
    frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
    O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
