RUSKIN ON THE LOCOMOTIVE.
Magnificent Piece of Word Palnttnir
by a MoHter Hand In
the Art.
The following- description of a loco
motive from Ruskin's pen Is quoted
as a beautiful piece of word painting:
"I cannot express the amazed awe
the crushed humility with which 1
sometimes watch a locomotive take
its breath at a railroad station and
think what work there ia in its bars
and wheels and what manner of men
they must be who dig brown iron
stone out of the ground and forge it
into that I What assemblage of accu-
rate end mighty faculties in themi
more than fleshly power over melting"
crag ana coning nre teiterea ana
finessed at last into the precision
of watchmaking; Titanian hammer
strokes beating out of lava these glit-
tering cylinders and timely respond-
ent valves and fine-ribbed rode which
touch each other as a serpent writhes
in noiseless gliding anu omnipotence
of grasp; infinitely complex anatomy
of active steel comparea with which
the skeleton of a living creature would
seem to a careless observer clumsy
and vile a mere morbid secretion and
phosphatous prop of flesh!
"What would the men who thought
out this who beat it out who touched
it into its polished calm of power who
set It to its appointed task and tri-
umphantly saw it fulfill its task to
the utmost of their will feel or think
about this weak head of mine tim
idly lending a little stream of water
color which I cannot manage into an
mperfect shadow of something else
mere failure in every motion and end
less disappointment? What I repeat
would these iron-dominant genii think
of me and what ought I to think of
them?"
