Analysis of I, Whom Apollo Somtime Visited
Robert Louis Stevenson 1850 (Edinburgh) – 1894 (Vailima, Samoa)
I, WHOM Apollo sometime visited,
Or feigned to visit, now, my day being done,
Do slumber wholly; nor shall know at all
The weariness of changes; nor perceive
Immeasurable sands of centuries
Drink of the blanching ink, or the loud sound
Of generations beat the music down.
