The Flying Steed – Sunday Quote of the week

with No Comments

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
