He is moment poet, and he writes real world poem. It's a spring time, and which praises the moment. The poet shows a peaceful landscape where train is passing from boring towns.
The couple is going to London, and the train is going south. On the way, the rumor of grass is coming where the train was most useful. It's a poor class wedding day, and their hair style was different.
They had weared artificial jewellery. The wedding is a "happy funeral", and The train is near London. The train is running for fifty minutes, and he sees a chimney.
He sees the paddy fields, and where the train is philosophical. He knows that weddings are important to us.
The Whitsun Weddings, It is a religious festival, after seven weeks the day comes in christian rituals. On this day, the couple should not pay any tax to the government. For that reason, all the marriages are happening today.
on this day, the train was late, and the Windows were opened. The couple were not careful.
