THE SPECIAL LOCOMOTIVE.
A locomotive's but an engine, though it traverse half the lands ;
A splendid creature still, in steel and brass array, With sleek and shiny back and polished sides, Suspended in its strength, in latent activeness compact; As ready for swift efforts evenly sustained between These vague horizons, right and left, that terminate the narrowing rails.
I am dispassionate ! Yet mark we well this steed of steeds,
That ever footless runs and wingless flies.
The funnel of its breath, its cycled huge supports-The giant drive-wheel, like a big red setting sun ; The ever - virile pistons, and the passive, patient cylinders,
The tilting shaft, reversing block, contraction gage and valves.
