Wallace Stevens

920. Three Travellers Watch a Sunrise
__________________
And all the time the waves, the waves, the waves
Chase, intersect and flatten on the sand
As they have done for centuries, as they will
For centuries to come, when not a soul
Is left to picnic on the blazing rocks,
When England is not England, when mankind
Has blown himself to pieces. Still the sea,
Consolingly disastrous, will return
While the strange starfish, hugely magnified,
Waits in the jewelled basin of a pool.

Well done, Sun-star! U may continue.

Critically regarded as one of the most significant American poets of the 20th century. He largely ignored the literary world and he did not receive widespread recognition until the publication of his ******** (1954). He explored inside a profound philosophical framework the dualism between concrete reality and the human imagination. = Wallace Stevens

920 – Trio see dawn = Three Travellers Watch a Sunrise
921 – No strife = Harmonium
922 – Policies = Ideas of Order
923 – Lands = Parts of the World
924 – Grouped verse = Collected Poem
925 – Journey to the warm period = Transport To Summer

Scottish essayist, poet, and author of fiction and travel books, known especially for his novels of adventure. His characters often prefer unknown hazards to everyday life of the Victorian society.
= Robert Louis Stevenson

926 – Two divergent personalities = Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
927 – Going further from the sea from the coast in = An Inland Voyage
928 – Hidingplace of valuables = Treasure Island
929 – Taken from the family = Kidnapped
930 – Slim dark weapon = The Black Arrow

Robert Louis Stevenson

926 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
927 Ebb tide?
928 Treasure Island
929 Kidnapped
930 The Black Arrow

I really object to the clue for 921, though.
