Every night, at exactly eight minutes past nine, it [roars] through the village. I can see it coming several miles away, its powerful headlight [fingering] rails and telegraph wires with a shimmer of light. Silently and slowly it seems to draw nearer; then suddenly, it is almost above me. A wild roar of steam and driving wheels, the wail of its hoarse whistle at the crossing, and then, [looming] black against the night sky, it [smashes] past, and in the swing of drivers and connecting rods I think of a greyhound, or a racehorse [thundering] the final stretch. High in the cab window, a motionless figure peers ahead into the night; suddenly he is blackly [silhouetted] by the glare of the opened fire-door, and in the orange light I can see the fireman swing back and forth as he [feeds] his fire. The light [burns] against the steam and smoke above; then blackness – and now the white windows of the carriages [flicker] past, and through the swirl of dust and smoke I watch the two red lights [sink] down the track.

Time is not always change. time can also mean continuity, and it can mean keeping acknowledged truths in mind despite differences in circumstances. there is no better example of this in things fall apart than the retellings of the proverb about the bird named eneke, the language in both retellings is almost identical despite the length of time that has passed between their repetitions. in comparing the usages of the same proverb, achebe allows his readers to note the similarities and differences between the situations, and he them understand how this story can be applied to their own lives.
