Shot in the Dark: The Horse

Where in the wide world can man find nobility without pride,

Friendship without envy, Or beauty without vanity?

Here, where grace is served 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.

All our history is in his industry.

We are his heirs, he our inheritance.

~ Ronald Duncan, "The Horse"
