"But, somehow, life is warmer and closer, the hearth burns more redly..."

"... the lights of home shine softer on the rainy street, the very names endeared in verse and music cling nearer round our hearts."

A quote from Robert Louis Stevenson, about being born in Scotland and not England. From his 1894 obituary. The news came from Apia, Samoa, that he had suddenly died of "apoplexy" and "was buried on the summit of Paa Mountain, 1,300 feet high."
