ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. He is well – known for his children’s classics too. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He also composed music for the flagcolet, a kind of keyed soprano recorder

Children who have travelled by trains would have had an exciting experience. Beside the rhythm and movement of the train, there are the rushing scenes outside the window to took at. Here the poet presents a thrilling experience of a journey in the 19th century.

Faster than fairies, faster than witches,

Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;

And charging along like troops in a battle

All through the meadows the horses and cattle:

HARD WORDS

Faires Witches

Bridge

Hedge Ditch

Meadow

Poet says that train runs more quickly than the fairies can fly or the witches can move. When train advances forward it seems as the soldiers are attacking enemy in a battle field. The train rushes on leaving bridges, houses, fences and ditches behind. It also leaves behind the green fields where horses and cattle are grazing

The expression used by the poet to show the amazing speed of the train is

“Faster than fairies, Faster than witches”

Images : Poet presents many visual images throughout the poem which attract the reader

“The meadows the horses and cattle”

Travelling is much important than any schooling
