Two Pillows at My Head

Pictures by Georg Dionysius Ehret·Words by Robert Louis Stevenson

Georg Dionysius Ehret's delicate white Pancratium lily, painted around 1752, stands tall on a clean white page. Inside are Robert Louis Stevenson's gentle lines from A Child's Garden of Verses about lying sick in bed with two pillows and all one's toys close by. For someone resting up and on the mend.

When I was sick and lay a-bed, I had two pillows at my head, And all my toys beside me lay To keep me happy all the day. Robert Louis Stevenson, 1885
