Question 50
EasyOriginal questionFaster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ;
And along like troops in a battle
All through the meadows the horses and cattle:
All of the sights of the hill and the plain
Fly as thick as driving rain;
And ever again, in the wink of an eye,
Painted stations whistle by.
Here is a child who and scrambles,
All by himself and gathering ;
Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;
And here is the green for stringing the daisies!
Here is a cart run away in the road
Lumping along with man and load;
And here is a mill, and there is a river:
Each a and gone forever!
"Each a glimpse and gone forever!" What does the last line suggest?
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A glimpse is a very quick look. From a fast train, each scene is seen once and left behind.
Worth noting
"Gone forever" is about the train moving on, not about the places being destroyed.
