also...
but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be."

William
Shakespeare "I will not change my horse with any that treads but on four pasterns. Ça, ha! He bounds from the earth as if his entrails were hairs: le cheval volant, the Pegasus, qui a les narines de feu! When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes." |

blows
toward heaven, we travel with them, if only in our hearts."
