उत्तर
The poem "From a Railway Carriage" by Robert Louis Stevenson is meant to capture the fast-paced, rhythmic experience of riding on a train. When reading this poem aloud, you’ll notice a lively, rapid rhythm created by short lines and quick rhymes, mimicking the movement and sounds of a train as it speeds along the tracks.
The rhythm of this poem might remind you of:
- The chugging and rattling of a moving train.
- The quick flash of scenery passing by the train windows, as fields, trees, and people rush by in a blur.
- The excitement of travel and the thrill of moving quickly from place to place.
