Read the following poem and answer the question that follows.
"i like to see it lap the miles" by emily dickinson
i like to see it lap the miles,
and lick the valleys up,
and stop to feed itself at tanks;
and then, prodigious, step
around a pile of mountains,
and, supercilious, peer
in shanties by the sides of roads;
and then a quarry pare
(bold)
to fit its sides, and crawl between,
complaining all the while
in horrid, hooting stanza;
then chase itself down hill
and neigh like boanerges;
then, punctual as a star,
stop—docile and omnipotent—
at its own stable door.
this poem describes a train as if it were a horse. examine the imagery of the stanza in bold. what does it describe?
