THE WHITE STALLION

Pale as the morning star
in the hour of sunrise

he advances proudly
caparisoned with a saddle of gold.

One who saw him going with me
into battle, envied me and said:

"Who bridled Dawn with the Pleiades?
Who saddled lightning with the half moon?

   - Abu I-Salt Umayyah
    (1067-1134), Denia
