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.”
—Walt Whitman.
