I, WHOM APOLLO SOMETIME VISITED by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Of generations beat the music down
Subject(s): APOLLO;
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.
