 In Praise Of The Horse

 

 

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 in his industry.

 

 

We are his heirs;

 

 

He is our inheritance

 

 

 

 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen - The Horse!
