I have found this question online. The lines it refers to are:
"The sled and traveler stopped, the courier's feet

Explanation:
The lines above belong to the poem "The Snow-Storm" by Ralph Waldo Emerson. They beautifully show how nature cannot be controlled by man. When a snowstorm hits, there is nothing people can do.
