What’s the railroad to me?<\/p>\n

I never go to see<\/p>\n

Where it ends.<\/p>\n

It fills a few hollows,<\/p>\n

And makes banks for the swallows,<\/p>\n

It sets the sand a-blowing,<\/p>\n

And the blackberries a-growing.<\/p>\n

In his book\u00a0Walden<\/em>\u00a0he famously writes, “We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us.”<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
