English version and Chinese translation of the original poem; The Lamplighter Robert Louis Stevenson.
Extended information: Character introduction: Robert Louis Stevenson was a great British novelist in the second half of the 19th century. His representative works include the novels "Treasure Island", "Dr. Jekyll", "Kidnapping", "The Lamplighter", etc. In his early days, he traveled around and accumulated resources for his creation. Later, he devoted himself to novel creation and achieved very high achievements. His works have unique and changeable styles and had a huge influence on 20th century modernist literature. By the mid-20th century, critics began to appreciate Stevenson's work in a new way, placing his work into the Western canon and classifying him as one of the greatest writers of the 19th century. The flexibility and creativity in narrative focus of Stevenson's novels illustrate his consistent conscious creation of a variety of techniques. This is one side of Stevenson's reputation as a famous romantic novelist, and another. Although Stevenson is best known for his adventure novels, he considered himself an essayist and a realist. Judging from his prose writing, Stevenson is a realist, a keen observer of life patterns and behavior. Describing real people and real things in life and real feelings in reality are the characteristics of his Scottish prose. Stevenson's side as an essayist should not be ignored.
