-- Robert Louis Stevenson
In memory of those we love that have gone before us.
He is Not Dead by Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer.He is not dead -- this friend -- not dead,
But in the path we mortals tread,
Got some few trifling steps ahead,
And nearer to the end;
So that you, too, once past the bend,
Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend
You fancy dead.
