Faster than fairies, faster than witches

I love train journeys, I will go somewhere just for the fun of the train journey and the station.
St Pancras is always worth a visit.
Guess which commuter didn't enjoy the trip as much as me!
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.




Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,
All by himself and gathering brambles;
Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;
And there 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 glimpse and gone for ever!

 Robert Louis Stevenson
