The author describes the landscape of Nebraska as if they are standing at sea. It seems that the nature’s beauty is very simple yet attractive. The landscape looks like a billiard-board with the greenery as the green table and the railroad as the cue stretched across the landscape. The extreme beauty of the simple plains and the greenery is something that the author seems fond of. The plains are vast and lay across the landscape at long stretch.
