Famous quotes containing the word stevenson:

    O to dream, O to awake and wander
    There, and with delight to take and render,
    Through the trance of silence,
    Quiet breath;
    Lo! for there, among the flowers and grasses,
    Only the mightier movement sounds and passes;
    Only winds and rivers,
    Life and death.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    By at the gallop he goes, and then
    By he comes back at the gallop again.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    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)
