| Island Nights' Entertainments by Robert Louis Stevenson. Short excerpt: He had the courage of a lion and the cunning of a rat; and if heĀ?s not in hell to-day, thereĀ?s no such place. Island Nights' Entertainments - I saw that island first when it was neither night nor morning. The moon was to the west, setting, but still broad and bright. To the east, and right amidships of the dawn, which was all pink, the daystar sparkled like a diamond. The land breeze blew in our faces, and smelt strong of wild lime and vanilla: other things besides, but these were the most plain; and the chill of it set me sneezing. I should say I had been for years on a low island near the line, living for the most part solitary among natives. Here was a fresh experience: even the tongue would be quite strange to me; and the look of these woods and mountains, and the rare smell of them, renewed my blood. |
