More From John Heywood

There is a story in zen circles about a man and a horse. the horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «where are you going?» and the first man replies, «i don't know! ask the horse!» this is also our story. we are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. the horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.

How the horse dominated the mind of the early races especially of the mediterranean! you were a lord if you had a horse. far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances...the horse, the horse! the symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action in man!

He’s sort of a homeless horse,” i said. “i’m leaving for the airport in two seconds, and i won’t be back for a couple days. you can put the horse in the garage, but i don’t want that horse in my apartment.” “who would put a horse in an apartment? that’s dumb.” “where’s the horse staying now?” “my apartment.” “i can always count on you to brighten my day,” ranger said. and he disconnected.

If idioms are more to be born than to be selected, then the things of life and human nature that a man has grown up with--(not that one man's experience is better than another's, but that it is 'his.')--may give him something better in his substance and manner than an over-long period of superimposed idiomatic education which quite likely doesn't fit his constitution. my father used to say, 'if a poet knows more about a horse than he does about heaven, he might better stick to the horse, and some day the horse may carry him into heaven'

This one isn’t just any old horse. there’s a nobility in his eye, a regal serenity about him. does he not personify all that men try to be and never can be? i tell you, my friend, there’s divinity in a horse, and specially in a horse like this. god got it right the day he created them. and to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war, is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap. we don’t belong in the same universe as a creature like this.
Horse War Butterfly
Before noah, men having only water to drink, could not find the truth. accordingly...they became abominably wicked, and they were justly exterminated by the water they loved to drink. this good man, noah, having seen that all his contemporaries had perished by this unpleasant drink, took a dislike to it; and god, to relieve his dryness, created the vine and revealed to him the art of making le vin. by the aid of this liquid he unveiled more and more truth.
