In 'Moral Emblems', Robert Louis Stevenson presents a unique collection of poems that combine cuts and verses to explore the intricacies of human nature and morality. From the whimsical tales of pirates and apothecaries to the haunting elegies for soldiers, Stevenson weaves together a tapestry of images and words that will stay with readers long after they turn the last page. Here's an excerpt from a poem that shared the same title as the book itself, 'Moral Emblems': "See how the children in the print / Bound on the book to see what's in 't! / O, like these pretty babes, may you / Seize and apply this volume too!"
