Words from ‘Ode to the horse’ by Ronald Duncan
“Where in this wide world can
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 more patient.
England’s past has been borne on
his back. All our history is his
industry; we are his heirs; he
our inheritance.”
Just love how Straker has captured this moment between my gorgeous Cleo & me, as I was asking her permission to get on. He did such a super job & I have so many lovely images to share.
