Russell Hoban Quote

It isn't at all suprising that horses figure in so many diffrent ways in myth and story-there is such power in them beyond the phsyical. The prehistoric life in them seems whole and intact. Any horse you meet seems to have in it a knowing that is deeper, older, more primal than our own; they seem witnesses to something lost to the sight of humankind. There is something important about horses. See a great dark carthorse in the rain steam coming up from it's back ; go out to a stable in the cold dark of a winter morning : when horses look at you, where they look from is not where we look from. I believe that most of us would like to be thought well of by horses.
