QUOTATIONS 



" Passengers on the Cosmic sea, 

 We know not whence nor whither; 

 'Tis happiness enough to be 

 In tune with wind and weather." — L. H. B. 



" Great is the sun, and wide he goes 

 Through empty heaven without repose; 

 And in the blue and glowing days 

 More thick than rain he showers his rays. 



" Above the hills, along the blue, 

 Round the bright air, with footing true, 

 To please the child, to paint the rose, 

 The gardener of the World, he goes." 



Robert Louis Stevenson 



" One morning, very early, before the sun was up, 

 I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; 

 But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, 

 Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed." 



Robert Louis Stevenson 



" Late lies the wintry sun a-bed, 

 A frosty, fiery sleepy-head; 

 Blinks but an hour or two; and then, 

 A blood-red orange, sets again." 



Robert Louis Stevenson
