Roadbed Curved
What is the message of this poem?
Night Journey Now that the train is to the west, its rhythm rocks the earth, and from my Pullman berth I look at night while others take their rest. Bridges of iron lace, a speed of trees, A lap of mountain mist All cross my line of sight, then a sad waste place, and a lake below the knees. Full on my neck I feel the effort in a curve; My muscles move with the steel, I wake in every nerve. I see a bright dark Beacon swing ardent We thunder through ravines and gullies washed with light. Beyond the mountain pass Mist deepens on the panel, We rush into a rain that rattles double glass. Wheels shake the roadbed stone, The pistons jerk and shove, I stay up half the night to see the Land that I love. Theodore Roethke
The poet incorporates the sound of the train through rhythm and rhyme of the lines as described by the vast land, the many changes in landscape and wonder of travel, culminating in hours of enchanting. Poets are trying to communicate when writing this poem talks about love of landscape and travel.
