3. An ordinary mind will take the train journey as one of like many others, but a poet is sensitive and takes this common experience of life seriously, which binds him to the rest of humanity in terms of his brotherly relationship with it.
4. Poet presents the drama of life through the train journey realistically and effectively.
5. Ashbery’s style is in the poet is illustrative like that of a painter.
6. The issues raised by the poet are quite significant and command our attention hurriedly as they command the poet’s attention too soon through the images of toy watch, a briar pipe, and seams of his coat.
7. Melodic Trains has been so associatively and allusively written that it transposes the reader to the situations observed by the poet and respond to the problems felt by him.
