“Darwin found out that when you took horses up to the high country in the Middle East, they would then grow long hair after a season or two. But when you took them - these long-haired horses - back into the low, hot country, they wouldn't get rid of the long hair, just in case, for about four generations.” LongTwoCountryFoundGrowsCasesFourGenerationsMiddleHairLowsSeasonsHorseHotEastMiddle EastLong HairFour Generations Author:L.

“Around the corner [ of the Carnegie Delicatessen] is the Russian Tea Room, which is now out of business. Which is awful.

“Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the harp on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the deadwood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?” YearsBehindsGoneFireGrowingSeaWindHairMountainSpringShadowRedRainHorseWestBurningSmokeHillsTallHarvestCornHornsGlowingRidersMeadowsHarpsHelmTwo TowersRohan Author:J.

“Looking at her, he was in London again. He saw the gaslight and smelled the smoke and dirt and horses, the metallic tang of fog, the flowers in Kew Gardens. He saw a boy with black hair and blue eyes like Alec's. A girl with long brown curls and a serious face. In a world where everything went away from him eventually, she was one of the few remaining constants.” WorldLongEyeFacesGirlBlackBoysSawsSeriousFlowerHairGardenHorseBlueLondonSmokeBrownDirtFogBlue EyesCurlsMetallicBlack HairSerious Face Book:City of Fallen Angels Source: City of Fallen Angels
“And in me too the wave rises. It swells; it arches its back. I am aware once more of a new desire, something rising beneath me like the proud horse whose rider first spurs and then pulls him back. What enemy do we now perceive advancing against us, you whom I ride now, as we stand pawing this stretch of pavement? It is death. Death is the enemy. It is death against whom I ride with my spear couched and my hair flying back like a young man's, like Percival's, when he galloped in India. I strike spurs into my horse.

“A horse is freedom so indominable that it becomes useless to imprison it to serve man: it lets itself be domesticated, but with a simple, rebellious toss of the head-shaking its mane like an abundance of free-flowing hair-it shows that its inner nature is always wild, translucent and free.” MenShowsSimpleHairHorseUselessAbundanceRebelliousShakingToss Book:Soulstorm: Stories Source: Soulstorm: Stories
“The 31th of May, I perceived in the same water more of those Animals, as also some that were somewhat bigger. And I imagine, that [ten hundred thousand] of these little Creatures do not equal an ordinary grain of Sand in bigness: And comparing them with a Cheese-mite (which may be seen to move with the naked eye) I make the proportion of one of these small Water-creatures to a Cheese-mite, to be like that of a Bee to a Horse: For, the circumference of one of these little Animals in water, is not so big as the thickness of a hair in a Cheese-mite.” MayLittlesBigsEyeMovingScienceWaterAnimalImagineHairThousandTenCreaturesEqualOrdinaryHundredBiggerHorseNakedCompareProportionSandImagine ThatGrainBeesCheeseGrains Of SandNaked EyesThickness Author:Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
“If oxen and lions had hands and could paint with their hands and produce works of art, as men do, horses would paint the forms of the gods likes horses and oxen like oxen.
