"Of all my verse, like not a single line; But like my title, for it is not mine." -Robert Louis Stevenson, Underwoods Underwoods (1887), by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a collection of original poetry that Stevenson wrote during one of the most prolific periods of his career.

In a little more than an hour I had passed that town, and was already mounting Alan Water-side, when the weather broke in a small tempest.
