A SONG AFTER SUNDOWN

"There's no music like a little river's. It plays the same tune (and

that's the favourite) over and over again, and yet does not weary of it

like men fiddlers. It takes the mind out of doors; and though we should

be grateful for good houses, there is, after all, no house like god's

out-of-doors. And lastly, sir, it quiets a man down like saying his

prayers."--ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON: Prince Otto.
