Question

Note any symbolism, similes, and/or metaphors you find in the poem."The Railway Train"

Answer 1

Here the Poem:

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 the hill

And neigh like Boanerges;

Then, punctual as a star,

Stop - docile and omnipotent -

At its own stable door.

Answer 2

I like to see it lap the miles,

And lick the valleys up,

Complaining all the while-personification
