Prayers Written At Vailima, and A Lowden Sabbath Morn
_Prayers Written At Vailima_ was transcribed from the 1916 Chatto & Windus edition by David Price, proofing by Stephen Booth
"Prayers Written At Vailima, and A Lowden Sabbath Morn" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a collection of prayers and a poem penned during the late 19th century. The work reflects an intimate exploration of spirituality and community life, particularly in the Samoan context where Stevenson lived. The prayers are deeply resonant with themes of gratitude, hope, and daily living, while the poem reflects on the nature of a Sabbath morning, emphasizing the beauty and simplicity of rural life. The first section, "Prayers Written At Vailima," consists of a series of heartfelt prayers that Stevenson crafted for family gatherings and social rituals in Samoa. These prayers capture the essence of the island's culture, acknowledging both the blessings and challenges of life. The second part, "A Lowden Sabbath Morn," is a nostalgic and vivid portrayal of a Sabbath morning in a Scottish village, illustrating the preparations and emotions surrounding the church service. Through rich imagery and warmth, Stevenson paints a picture of community, familial bonds, and the intersection of the sacred and the ordinary, ultimately conveying a deep appreciation for both his Samoan and Scottish experiences.
