[beyond the sea]

For by the love that guides my pen I know great horses live again."

"Where in the 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,

has fought without enmity,

There is nothing so powerful,

nothing less violent,

nothing as quick,

nothing more patient.

The world's past has been borne on his back.

We are his heirs;

he is our inheritance.

The horse."
