I, WHOM APOLLO SOMETIME VISITED, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Of generations beat the music down
Alternate Author Name(s): Stevenson, Robert Lewis Balfour
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.
