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. The last sixteen lines of the poem discuss finding an archaeological site of an ancient city, now empty, lying in the desert sands of Egypt. The boy describes the lonely city, all of whose boys, whether chimney sweeps or princes, have grown to manhood years ago
Not only is beautiful a more accurate synonym for pretty (sassy refers more to an upbeat, often sarcastic personality), but it also has a more positive connotation. Remember that synonyms are two words with very similar meanings.
