Many of Stevenson's stories are set in colorful locations, they have also horror and supernatural elements. Arguing against realism.
some poems of RLB Stevenson:
TIME TO RISE:
A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon my window sill,
Cocked his shining eye and said:
"Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head!"
TO MY MOTHER:
You too, my mother, read my rhymes
For love of unforgotten times,
And you may chance to hear once more
The little feet along the floor.
LOVE...WHAT IS LOVE:
Love - what is love? A great and aching heart;
Wrung hands; and silence; and a long despair.
Life - what is life? Upon a moorland bare
To see love coming and see love depart.
