"sick and well, I have had splendid life of it, grudge nothing, regret very little"[ |
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
... Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94), Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer.
