“Continents
And continental oceans intervene;
A sea uncharted, on a lampless isle,
Environs and confines their wandering child
In vain. The voice of generations dead
Summons me, sitting distant, to arise,
My numerous footsteps nimbly retrace,
And, all mutation over, stretch me down
In that denoted city of the dead.”
― The Collected Poems of Robert Louis Stevenson
