From a Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson describes the scenery passing by outside the window of a moving train. It summarizes: The speaker observes the changing scenery from inside a railway carriage traveling through the countryside. Various sights like meadows, cattle, and villages pass by in the blink of an eye as the train speeds along. The quick succession of views seen from the carriage window gives the impression of a world that is fleeting and hard to comprehend.
