  Object title	Underground; the way of escape to the countryside
  Text	When daisies go, shall winter time / Silver the simple grass with rime; / Autumnal frosts enchant the pool / And make the cart-ruts beautiful / And when snowbright the moor expands, / How shall your children clap their hands! / To make this earth our hermitage / A cheerful and a changeful page, / God's bright and intricate device / Of days and seasons doth suffice. R. L. Stevenson in "Underwoods." Underground The Way Of Escape To The Countryside
