"Ode to the Horse"

fury

"Where in this wide world can a man find
Nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy or Beauty without vanity?
Here: where grace is laced with muscle and strength
By gentleness confined.

He serves without servility;
He has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful,
Nothing less violent;
There is nothing so quick,
Nothing less patient.

England's past has been bourne on his back.
All our history is his industry.
We are his heirs;
He our inheritance.
