For my Sunday quote of the week I have chosen wonderful words to take us away into our imagination…
What delight to back the flying steed,
that challenges the wind for speed!
– seems native more of air
than earth!
– whose burden only lends him fire!
Whose soul, in his task, turns labour into sport;
Who makes your pastime his!
I sit him now!
He takes away my breath! He makes me reel!
I touch not earth – I see not – hear not.
All is ecstasy of motion!
~James Sheridan Knowles, The Love-Chase
