this is a poem i love and i thought i would share it with everyone:
where in this world can man find:
nobility without pride, friendship without envy,
beauty without vanity, grace laced with muscle,
strength by gentleness confinded,
he serves without servility, fought without enmity,
there is nothing so powerful, nothing so quick,
nothing more patient, englands past has borne on his back;
all our history in his industry, we are his heirs
he our inheritance
ladies and gentlemen, THE HORSE
