#MiniatureMonday

Foreign Lands by Robert Louis Stevenson, printed by Anna K. Ganske

In this poem by Robert Louis Stevenson, a child climbs up a cherry tree in their garden to see "foreign lands", such as the neighbors garden, and a nearby river. In a little miniseries for spring, we will be doing much the same, and exploring four neighboring books by two poets from the UK.

Our first poet is Robert Louis Stevenson, who is best known for adventure stories like Treasure Island, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as well as his poetry for children.

Today's item is quite spring like in color, with floral cloth covered boards protecting an accordion fold book, tied with a blue ribbon.

--Diane R., Special Collections Graduate Student

A peculiar instance of one The Time Traveler (The Time Machine) transported into a fantastical realm

In this painted world, The Time Traveler stepped out of his Trusty Time Machine and was met with an explosion of color and creativity. The local inhabitants, skilled painters, were fascinated by his invention and he was quickly drawn into their world of magic and enchantment. As he explored their lush and vibrant landscape, The Time Traveler couldn’t resist picking up a brush and joining in on…

Losing My Immunity

I miss Haiti.I miss Haiti like a corpse miss its soul The longer they’re apartThe more the corpse loses all sensesAll stability.So it withers,It dries.It rejects itself. And the soul doesn’t know who. The longer I’m away from my countryThe more I lose my sensesThen my life.So I wither,My juice driesThe culture rejects me. The country doesn’t know who. Whenever I go backThey ask “yoh…

I've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom. #singapore #ofw #cloudforest #travel #workabroad #path #selfcare #flowerdomesingapore #vision #limit #realization #foreignland #vergetalks #expat #expatsg #lifequotes (at Cloud Forest At Gardens By the Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rg46lAanj/?igshid=v8mtcergk652
