The Railway Train
Emily Dickinson, 1896
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 Boanerges1;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.
1The name of a thoroughbred race horse famous in North America in the late 19th century
Read these lines from Emily Dickinson's "The Railway Train":
And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.
Which of the following correctly explains how this stanza provides clues to the culture for which this poem was written?
The phrase docile and omnipotent suggests the poem was written when people admired horses more.
The phrase neigh like Boanerges suggests the poem was written when horses were only used for racing.
The phrase punctual as a star suggests the poem was written when people knew little about astronomy.
The phrase stable door suggests the poem was written when horses were used for transportation.

At last it was settled by lot that zeus should reign supreme in heaven, whilst aides governed the lower world, and poseidon had full command over the sea, but the supremacy of zeus was recognized in all three kingdoms, in heaven, on earth (in which of course the sea was included), and under the earth. zeus held his court on the top of mount olympus, whose summit was beyond the clouds; the dominions of aides were the gloomy unknown regions below the earth; and poseidon reigned over the sea. what element of a myth does this excerpt contain? an example of an historical event a lesson about human behavior an explanation of an event in nature a story about gods or goddesses
