Explore "The Angler & the Clown" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The echoing bridge you here may see, / The pouring lynn, the waving tree, / The eager angler fresh from town --
Above, the contumelious clown.
The angler plies his line and rod, / The clodpole stands with many a nod --
With many a nod and many a grin, / He sees him cast his engine in.
"What have you caught? " the peasant cries.
"Nothing as yet," the Fool replies.
