This PowerPoint presentation summarizes the poem "From a Railway Carriage" by Robert Louis Stevenson. It discusses how the poem describes the speed of a passing train as faster than fairies and witches, charging through bridges, houses, hedges and ditches like troops rushing into battle. The first stanza compares the journey by train to soldiers rushing across meadows where horses and cattle graze, conveying the great speed. The presentation then states it will analyze some of the images from the poem.
