Robert Louis Stevenson Quote

We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight; we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.


The amateur emigrant. Across the plains. The silverado squatters (ed. 1903)


We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight; we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.

We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight; we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.

We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight; we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.

We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight; we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.
