Is it Robert Lou rolleyes.gif is Stevenson?


Now, whatever made you think of him? Quite correct though. wink.gif
This is him on the right in Samoa not long before he died. I think there was something a bit peculiar about him!! He wrote some great stuff though.

I believe RLS was much esteemed in Western Samoa so much so that, when he died, locals eagerly carried his beir to the top of a small mountain overlooking his beloved Vailima estate for burial.

In those days Samoa, like many of its South Pacific neighbours, was believed to be an area of extreme freedom !

I've been there twice and it is also the most beautiful country I have ever visited.

Here is his grave. Inscribed on it is written his famous self-written epitaph -

''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.'

I think you could be right lassie, but to have a wild guess, how about Douglas Macarthur? That leaves me about three hundred billion guesses!
