Question

what does the speaker compare the forests to and why? what are the forest full of? rl Stevenson ​

Answer 1

Answer:

This poem was part of Robert Louis Stevenson's collection of poems called A Child's Garden of Verses. Like many poems in the collection, "Travel" is written in the voice of a child, probably a boy. In this poem, the boy imagines being able to travel to faraway places, some real, some fictional. The land where golden apples grow may refer to the myth in which Hercules was tasked with obtaining the golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides. Another fictional land the boy would like to visit is the desert island where Robinson Crusoe, hero of Defoe's novel, lived. The boy then mentions a Muslim city, perhaps Constantinople, and China's great wall. Scenes from Egypt and Africa are envisioned.
