| 554. | Where in this world can man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with muscle, and strength by gentleness confined.

England's past has been borne on his back. All our history is his industry. We are his heirs, he is our inheritance. Ladies & Gentlemen - the Horse!
