Robert Louis Stevenson
The sticks break, the stones crumble, The eternal altars tilt and tumble, Sanctions and tales dislimn like mist About the amazed evangelist. He stands unshook from age to youth Upon one pin-point of the truth.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sightseeing is the art of disappointment.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A little amateur painting in water colors shows the innocent and the quiet mind.
