The New Book of Days

Eleanor Farjeon

Quotes

  1. His tail was a fountain.

    His nostrils were caves.

    His mane and his forelock

    Were musical waves.

    He neighed like a trumpet.

    He cooed like a dove.

    He was stronger than terror

    And swifter than love.

    p. 181

  2. He could not be captured,

    He could not be bought,

    His running was rhythm,

    His standing was thought;

    With one eye on sorrow

    And one eye on mirth,

    He galloped in heaven

    And gambolled on earth. And only the poet

    With wings to his brain

    Can mount him and ride him

    Without any rein,

    The stallion of heaven,

    The steed of the skies,

    The horse of the singer

    Who sings as he flies.

    p. 181

  3. From the blood of Medusa

    Pegasus sprang.

    His hoof of heaven

    Like melody rang.

    p. 181
