Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
The friendly cow, all red and white, I love with all my heart She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple-tart.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is a certain frame of mind to which a cemetery is, if not an antidote, at least an alleviation. If you are in a fit of the blues, go nowhere else.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To cast in it with Hyde was to die a thousand interests and aspirations.
Robert Louis Stevenson
