RIDING AND DRIVING FOR WOMEN

PART I—RIDING

“I think I could turn and live with animals,

They are so placid and self-contained;

I stand and look at them long and long,

They do not sweat and whine about their condition,

They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;

They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;

Not one is dissatisfied. Not one is demented with the mania of owning things;

Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago.”
