English

IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Answer:

In the poem, the speaker describes the journey of a strange creature that resembles a horse. The speaker describes the speed of the creature, its feeding process, and how it moves around mountains and over hills. The creature passes through a tunnel where it makes a hooting noise. It sounds like “Boanerges.” (In the Bible, Jesus gave the last name Boanerges to his disciples James and John. It means “sons of thunder.”) The creature finally reaches its stable on time and stays "docile" (obedient) and "omnipotent" (all-powerful). Throughout the poem, the reader can infer that the unspecified creature is actually a train.

Answer:  

The Railway Train

by Emily Dickinson

I like to see it lap the miles,

And lick the valleys up,

And stop to feed itself at tanks;

And then, prodigious, step

Around a pile of mountains,

And, supercilious, peer

In shanties, by the sides of roads;

And then a quarry pare

To fit its sides, and crawl between,

Complaining all the while

In horrid, hooting stanza;

Then chase itself down hill

And neigh like Boanerges;

Then, punctual as a star,

Stop--docile and omnipotent--

At its own stable door.
