$\small\mathbb\red{APPRECIATION-FROM A RAILWAY CARRIAGE}$

The poet Robert Louis Stevenson, in his poem 'From A Railway Carriage shares his experiences of a train journey through a country side. He describes the amazing speed of the train. He presents the natural scenes as seen from the window of a railway carriage.

The train runs faster than the fairies and the witches. It rushes on leaving bridges, houses, hedges and ditches behind. The train moves forward with great speed and vigour like the soldiers attack their enemy in a battle field. It also passes by the green fields where horses and cattle are grazing.

The poet says that all the scenes of the hill and the plain were crossed by the train as quick as rain drops fly in a storm. The train rushes with great speed that very frequently it crosses small and insignificant stations with a whistle. From the window of the railway carriage, the buildings of stations are seemed as painted pictures.

During the journey, the poet sees a child climbing a steep ground by himself

and also gathering black berries while climbing. He sees a vagrant gazing at the

train with amazement. In the green meadow daisies have bloomed in a long line.

He now sees a cart moving slowly in the middle of a highway with full of load and the cart driver sitting on top of it. He sees a mill and a river. All these objects appeared and disappeared so quickly that the poet looked at them for a very brief time and they can never be seen again.

The effective use of poetic devices makes the poem more attractive. The poem rhymes with the scheme 'aa bb'. Examples for rhyming words are witches - ditches, battle cattle, plain - rain, eye - by etc.

The usage of similes like ' like troops in a battle and as thick as driving rain add beauty to the poem. faster than fairies and faster than witches' is an example for alliteration. The usage of various visual images makes the poem beautiful. The poet has tried to bring the locomotive rhythm to the poem through the careful choice of words and expressions.
