it rushes on
Hast thou given the horse strength?
hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
- Job 39:19 KJV
“Ah, steeds, steeds, what steeds!
Has the whirlwind a home in your manes?
Is there a sensitive ear, alert as a flame, in your every fiber?
Hearing the familiar song from above,
all in one accord you strain your bronze chests and,
hooves barely touching the ground,
turn into straight lines cleaving the air,
and all inspired by God it rushes on!”
- Nikolai V. Gogol
