"Every sensitive person carries in himself old cities enclosed by ancient walls."
Swiss writer Robert Walser was born #OTD in 1878.
One of Walser's most notable works is his collection of short prose pieces titled "Der Spaziergang" (1917). Walser's writing fell out of favor after his death in 1956, but experienced a revival in the late 20th century, thanks in part to the efforts of literary scholars and translators.
