winnie's human (all work and no play)

frisky

“Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,

Towards Phoebus’ lodging. Such a waggoner

As Phaëton would whip you to the west

And bring in cloudy night immediately.

Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night,

That runaways’ eyes may wink, and Romeo

Leap to these arms untalked of and unseen.”

It is William Shakespeare’s 450th birthday today. I have no way of proving it, but I sincerely believe that he was imagining these horses when he wrote those lines from Romeo and Juliet.
