Explore "To Sydney" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
NOT thine where marble-still and white / Old statues share the tempered light / And mock the uneven modern flight, / But in the stream / Of daily sorrow and delight / To seek a theme.
I too, O friend, have steeled my heart / Boldly to choose the better part, / To leave the beaten ways of art, / And wholly free / To dare, beyond the scanty chart, / The deeper sea.
