TODAY'S PROMPT

Your prompt for Sturday, December 25th:
 
TRAIN

Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
And charging 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.

~Robert Louis Stevenson, "From a Railway Carriage"
