To read the "Child's Garden of Verses" is to live one's infancy over again with the additional en- chantment of distance and the subconscious realization of its beauty. Then with "Treasure Island" we grow again into day-dreaming, sea-faring boyhood and asso- ciate once more with pirates and other desperate characters and enjoy more than ever we did the blood-curdling chorus. "Sixteen men on a dead man's chest, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum. Drink and the devil had done for the rest, Yo-ho-ho and... a bottle of rum. " i 7 6 THE ENCHANTMENT OF ART At last we enter again into our young manhood and the earth is as full of fascination and promise as the earth has a way of seeming when we are twenty-one. We go on vagabond journeys smil- ing we scarce know why. We sleep under the stars in rapt wonder and listen to rare talk of art and love. And it is all so ample and spontaneous and eloquent an existence that we almost forget it is the matchless prose of Stevenson's essays that is lifting us out of our dreary, undeveloped selves, to make us see and feel as never before — the charms of earth.
