[[求助与讨论]] Kipling's The King

[复制链接]
发表于 2007-11-5 14:56:50 | 显示全部楼层 |阅读模式
\"Romance!\" the season-tickets mourn,
  \"He never ran to catch his train,
But passed with coach and guard and horn -
  And left the local - late again!\"
Confound Romance! . . . And all unseen
Romance brought up the nine-fifteen.

I understand the last verse means romance can be found in mundane,
prosaic things (romance of machinery as one article I've googled
called it.) What I can't figure out is what \"nine-fifteen\"
specifically refers to, a train maybe?
