"The flight in the heather: the moor"

"My head was nearly turned with fear and shame; and at what I saw, when I looked out around me on the moor, my heart was like dying in my body. For sure enough..."

- Kidnapped, Robert Louis Stevenson

  2. "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 long'd to be;
    Home is the sailor, home from sea,
    And the hunter home from the hill."

    (I loved Robert Louis Stevenson's work when I was a boy -- he really does hold up remarkably well)
