National Poetry Month: The Love Chase by James Sheridan Knowles

23. Apr, 2009 0 Comments

What delight
To back the flying steed, that challenges
The wind for speed! – seems native more of air
Than earth! – whose burden only lends him fire! -
Whose soul, in his task, turns labour into sport;
Who makes your pastime his! I sit him now!
He takes away my breath! He makes me reel!
I touch not earth – I see not – hear not. All
Is ecstasy of motion!

~James Sheridan Knowles, The Love-Chase
